# Prompt Theory — AI characters who refuse to believe they are AI

A 89-second montage of ten short, AI-generated scenes in which each character rants that they are real and not 'prompted'. Hard cuts land about every 8 seconds, and every scene is a different genre: stand-up, street interview, hiking selfie, riot, interrogation, press talk, courtroom, film set.
