Re...fresh...ing...

A worn riverside tavern. A crew of stubborn old sailors. And one brass "Smart Waiter" that has read your profile, analyzed your liver, and politely refuses to pour you a beer. Re...fresh...ing... is a steampunk comedy short about the day artificial intelligence came to the pub, optimized the database, and discovered that progress is a thing a man can roll back with a glass of water. Based on the short story by Erdős Sándor. Directed by Valics Lehel. — THE IRONY — This is an anti-AI film, made, with full awareness of the irony, using AI. Voices, Images and Motion: Artificial Intelligence (we asked it nicely; it did not recommend lemon water). If a machine already thinks for us, talks for us, and now won't even let us drink, where exactly is humanity heading? Tell us in the comments.
