This would have fucked so hard.
Thinking about the unmade action-horror film SHADOW COMPANY, that was to be directed by John Carpenter from a script by Shane Black / Fred Dekker, about the re-animated corpses of American soldiers destroying their small American hometown over Christmas. Kurt Russell would have starred.

In general, AI adoption levels are a measurement of to what extent a particular reward system (a corporation, a market, academia as a whole system) has ceased to distinguish between doing a thing and pretending to do a thing
