PREVIEW cleverly stages a theatrical duel between human critique and artificial creation, blurring the lines of authorship, originality, and sentience. By placing the first AI playwright on Broadway, Quinlan Orear doesn’t just ask what AI can create but how we, as humans, choose to respond. The film works best in its unsettling suggestion that AI’s true power lies not in surpassing human intelligence, but in exploiting our cultural soft spots: our empathy, our vanity, and our hunger for novelty. The cinematography is sharp, the acting understated yet effective, and the sound design gives space for the dialogue to resonate.
