– Limited time to watch TV/movies
– Used Google Gemini AI to plan a week-long film festival
– AI selected movies with themes revolving around unlikely heroes, but some selections were too literal
A busy individual sought Google Gemini’s help in planning a week-long personal film festival centered on the theme of unlikely heroes. Despite giving the chatbot free rein, the resulting movie selection was eclectic and entertaining. Each day featured a different sub-theme within the overarching theme, such as the accidental hero or the hero from within. The chatbot struggled with accuracy in terms of where to watch the suggested films, as some were not available on the streaming platforms listed.
The film festival lineup included a mix of animated and live-action movies, catering to a diverse audience. Titles like “Shrek” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” appealed to both children and adults with their themes of heroism. Classics like “The Wizard of Oz” and more recent hits like “Hidden Figures” provided a well-rounded viewing experience. The chatbot’s literal interpretations of the themes led to some suggestions that were on the nose but still enjoyable.
By the end of the week, the viewer had enjoyed a range of films that showcased unlikely heroes in various contexts, from sci-fi robots to real-life historical figures. While the chatbot’s selections were generally well-received, there was room for improvement in terms of theme interpretation and film availability. Overall, the personalized film festival experience demonstrated the potential of AI technology to enhance entertainment choices and provide tailored recommendations to users.
