The AI Is Not Enough Episode 2 – “From the Perfect Answer to Spasms of Delight: Inside the NextGen Smut Empire”
Satire Disclaimer
The following is a work of satire intended to parody the modern media landscape, tech culture, and the rise of artificial intelligence as a cure-all for creativity, connection, and basic human decency.
Any resemblance to real people is entirely coincidental, unless you see yourself in it. In which case—thank you for your unintentional contribution.
[OPENING SCENE: A dimly lit press conference. A smug, turtleneck-wearing executive stands at a podium labeled PleasureVision, flanked by glassy-eyed sycophants. Cameras flash. Murmurs of awe swirl through the synthetic incense fog.]
Max Vulgarr, Chief Disruption Architect, PleasureVision: “We aren’t just revolutionizing media. We’re sensualizing the algorithm.”
Reporter (off-screen): “But isn’t it true your platform accidentally generated 22 hours of erotic footage starring a deepfaked Tarzan in a jacuzzi with two cantaloupes, a tambourine, and a set of bongos… all labeled ‘emotional percussion therapy’?”
Max: (smirking): “What you call accidental, we call predictive engagement synthesis.”
[Cue applause from the PleasureVision team, all nodding like they’re being graded.]
CUT TO: Informer.Digital HQ – Informer Underground Segment
Frankie (voiceover): “This week, Informer Underground investigates the rise of AI generated smut—and the executive who believes that every time they open their mouth, they bless the world with synthetic enlightenment.”
Polly: “You guys. He actually said,
‘Our climax metrics are disrupting traditional dopamine markets.’
With a straight face.”
Sandy: “That proves my point, AI is no big deal. I once heard a guy on mushrooms say that to a couch cushion. The couch cushion seemed more convinced. Maybe we should be on mushrooms?”
The Professor (cutting in from another monitor): “PleasureVision’s programming algorithm is just a chaotic loop of trending search terms, romance novel ad libs, and old Geocities fanfiction. This AI is not art. It’s digital heatstroke.”
Nelly: “Okay but, devil’s advocate—what if the AI is working because we’ve become so numb we can’t tell real intimacy from technology titillation?”
The Professor (visibly vibrating): “Are you sure that’s the Devil’s Advocate and not the devil’s vibrating joystick?”
Nelly: “No, I’m serious. What if this AI is a good thing? What if simulated connection is better than no connection at all? Maybe people feel seen in this mess, even if it’s all code and fruit metaphors.”
[Beat. A third voice chimes in cheerfully over video call.]
Hope (from ‘Do You Not See It?’): “Exactly! That’s what I’ve been trying to say! You can mock the tambourine all you want, but maybe it’s keeping someone from crying into a frozen dinner tonight.”
The Professor (sighs): “Hope, are you livestreaming from your bathtub again?”
Hope: “It’s a hope soak, Professor. Don’t be so binary about it.”
CUT TO: Castor and Novella – The Algorithm That Seduced Me
[They walk through PleasureVision HQ wearing fake badges and even faker smiles. Every screen in the building shows different AI generated scenes, each worse than the last.]
Novella: “Is that… Benjamin Franklin pole-dancing while reciting ‘Hamilton’?”
Castor: “Yes and over there that’s Cleopatra. She seems to be churning butter…very slowly. Uh oh here comes the asp.”
Novella: “Okay, the AI isn’t just not enough—it’s medically inadvisable.”
CUT TO: Nova and Cornelius debate panel, “When I Was Your Age”
Nova: “Look, I know it’s creepy, but PleasureVision is innovating, okay? They’re creating space for synthetic intimacy, neurofluid narratives, and algorithmic satisfaction.”
Cornelius: “When I was your age, we called that a quiet evening at home with a bag of pretzels to battle loneliness.”
Nova: “Yes Boomer.”
Cornelius: “You know what we didn’t do? NOD like AI hypnotized pigeons every time a technocrat misuses the word ‘transformative.'”
CUT TO: Max being interviewed by a fake talk show called “TechTalk Taboos”
Host: “Max, people say your company is just pumping out softcore nonsense dressed in tech buzzwords. How do you respond?”
Max: “Our platform isn’t just about eroticism. It’s about using AI to elevate neural fulfillment.”
Host: “What does that mean?”
Max: “It means we’ve tripled our viewership among lonely billionaires and night-shift content moderators.”
Host: “So…nothing, then.”
Max: “Exactly. However it still felt like the perfect answer.”
[Cut to his team clapping like their equity packages depend on it—because they do.]
ENDING MONOLOGUE – FRANKIE
“This isn’t just about smut. It’s about truth decay. It’s about an arrogant executive so enamored with their own nonsense that they don’t realize they’re talking to themselves in a hall of mirrors. And the people nodding along? They’re just afraid to blink in front of the algorithm.”
Cue title card: THE AI IS NOT ENOUGH.
POST-CREDITS SCENE: Sports SmackDown Lounge
Gracie: “This cracks me up. If these guys are supposed to be our hot new competition, we don’t have anything to worry about.”
Jack: “Absolutely. With your help, we could produce better stuff than that in our sleep.”
Aurora: “We are not producing that. Ever.”
Rex: “Why not? This could totally be a sport. I mean, come on—you love sports, Gracie.
Aurora, you practically invented fight songs.”
Jack: “Yeah! We could have official uniforms, positions, custom highlight reels, a scoring system…”
Rex: “Fantasy intimacy leagues! Draft your algorithmic crush of the week!”
Gracie: “You are both deranged.”
Aurora: “I swear if you put my name on a jersey with a number and a position, I will feed you to the algorithm myself.”
Jack: “Too late. I already designed the merch: ‘Informer Intimacy League: Week 1 Power Rankings.'”
Gracie (deadpan): “This is why aliens won’t talk to us.”
Cue chaotic laughter, groans, and the low hum of a malfunctioning AI algorithm somewhere in the distance…
Fade to black.
Mike worked in the radio industry for 35 years which means sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek, satirical, trash talking characters to remind you laughter is good for the soul! Let’s have some fun with entertainment, movies and TV, sports, budget food and games, lifestyle and we’ll get ridiculous.
