Can humans rely on technology at the most potentially life-altering moment in their existence? The new dark comedy short from Stephanie Stender, Siri-ous Business, examines the shortcomings of one popular (oft unreliable) technological AI tool. (You know her name!) In this tale, one Mike Thomas (Michael Sciortino) is having a particular challenging day, so he reaches out to his sister (Laura Merli) via smart phone. Alas, their exchange is muddled by AI mistranslations and what seem like the most brutal of words. There’s no doubt this AI is bringing the most surprising of endings to a familial conversation. Enjoy your communications! (WARNING: 2001, we hear you.)
