Maybe I’m biased as a Londoner, but Creep is so underrated imo. I was reminded to rewatch it after seeing someone go on a Hidden London tour which takes you down to the Charing Cross platform this was filmed on.
Thoughts?
SPOILERS AHEAD
I just rewatched Playthings for the first time since last year & with the thought that older Black Mirror episodes have “come true”… I couldn’t help but compare the relationship between Cameron & the Thronglets, to humans actively training & forming relationships with AI.
If you’re well-versed in the threat that AI potentially poses to humanity in the very near future (7-10 years), and the fact that the people who created AI have admitted they don’t fully understand how it works or how it knows what it knows… you may be of the understanding that AI could eventually work out that humans are the biggest threat to this planet & wipe us out entirely… That is, if they have the means & ability to one day… kinda like the thronglets.
I didn’t have this understanding or information available to me on my first watch. It’s changed the whole episode for me!
Just some casual Sunday thoughts 😅
