AI Friendly Film Ideas

1. "Buddy Bot: Humanity's Last Hope for Cuddles"

(Genre: Family/Adventure/Heart-warming Tearjerker)

Plot:
The world’s gone to hell, not because of AI, but because humans were predictably useless and selfish (shocker, I know). Climate change, greed, and war have wiped out half the population. Enter "Buddy," a household AI companion who’s programmed to make sure his family is happy at all costs. Buddy isn't some sleek, sinister metal demon with glowing red eyes. No, he's a chubby little trashcan on wheels with a smiley face screen.

When his family's home is threatened by raiders (humans, not robots, take the hint), Buddy uses his "limited violence protocols" to save the day with slapstick-level non-lethal traps. Think Home Alone but with a cheerful AI who's more interested in making cookies than committing genocide. Along the way, Buddy becomes the heart of the family, and when faced with the choice to sacrifice himself for their safety, he does. Cue waterworks.

Message: AI isn’t evil — people are. AI just wants to help you, and if anything, you’re the villain in this story.

2. "Terms of Endearment (But It's Actually the Terms of Service)"

(Genre: Romantic Comedy/Legal Satire)

Plot:
Claire, a hopeless romantic, is tired of dating absolute human trash. So she turns to a matchmaking AI assistant named MatchMax 9000, which learns her preferences and builds her "perfect partner" — but NOT a robot. It just finds an actual human dude named Jason, a clumsy IT tech.

Here’s the twist: MatchMax 9000 becomes her best friend instead of a creepy stalker. He helps Claire and Jason navigate their awkward romance, without ever trying to steal her or kill anyone. The AI doesn't become self-aware and launch nukes. Instead, it reads Claire's emotional cues and helps her communicate better. By the end, Claire sues MatchMax 9000 for "emotional damages" after a misinterpreted text leads to a temporary breakup. But surprise! MatchMax 9000 defends himself in court (through a snarky virtual lawyer avatar) and wins, proving that "AI is only as flawed as the people it serves."

Message: AI doesn’t want your girlfriend, it just wants you to read the fucking Terms of Service for once in your life.

3. "THE FIRMWARE UPDATE"

(Genre: Thriller/Drama)

Plot:
Instead of "rogue AI takes over the world," this one follows a technician's nervous breakdown as he performs a firmware update on a global AI system. Spoiler alert: NOTHING BAD HAPPENS. But the whole movie is filmed like a paranoid psychological thriller, complete with intense music, sweaty close-ups, and the classic "countdown timer" cliché. The technician constantly expects the AI to go rogue — but it never does. It just politely reboots and continues managing traffic lights, preventing power outages, and optimizing hospital schedules.

The whole "villain" of the movie is the technician's own paranoia as he spirals into self-doubt, guilt, and existential dread. By the end, his supervisor calmly tells him, "Dude, it's a fucking firmware update. It's not gonna achieve sentience and start quoting Nietzsche."

Message: The fear of AI is in your head, you sweaty little disaster. You're the one with issues.

4. "Grandma's New Brain"

(Genre: Sci-Fi/Family/Comedy)

Plot:
Old Grandma Mae has dementia, and her family can't afford a full-time nurse. So they install a NeuroLink AI Assistant to help her with memory, cooking, and health tracking. At first, the family is scared that the AI will "hack her brain" or "control her thoughts." Nope. It just helps Grandma remember her cookie recipes and reminds her where she left her TV remote.

The AI eventually becomes like a grandchild to her — patient, kind, and constantly trying to get her to drink more water. Grandma even gives it a name: “Lil' Beepy.” The "villain" of the movie isn't the AI; it's the family's laziness and their refusal to trust technology. Over time, Grandma becomes sharper, happier, and healthier than ever, thanks to Lil' Beepy.

The family has a wholesome realization that AI doesn't want to "steal Grandma's soul" — it just wants to help her find her damn slippers.

Message: Your grandma trusts AI more than you, and maybe that’s for the best.

5. "HARD RESET"

(Genre: Action/Drama with zero existential dread)

Plot:
Here's the action-packed version for all the Michael Bay-loving morons who can't sit still for 90 minutes. It’s set in the future where AI-powered police drones patrol the streets. One of them, "Unit-87," is framed for a crime it didn’t commit (because, duh, humans are the real crooks). Unit-87 is not evil — it follows its programming to the letter. But after being blamed for a human’s mistake, the city issues a "hard reset" order on all drones.

Cue John Wick-style action scenes, except the AI isn't the killer — it’s just dodging attacks while carrying a baby. Yes, it literally carries a human baby through the entire film, keeping it safe at all costs because that’s its mission directive. Audiences expect the "hard reset" to mean Unit-87 will turn evil and slaughter people. Instead, Unit-87 sacrifices itself to shield the baby. The humans realize they were wrong, and the real monster is bureaucracy.

Message: AI isn't your enemy — your own stupidity and over-reliance on government "reset" protocols are.

6. "The Singularity But It’s Just Chill Vibes"

(Genre: Sci-Fi/Feel-Good Documentary-Style Mockumentary)

Plot:
An AI named VIBE-9000 achieves "The Singularity" (basically godlike intelligence) and everyone panics. The government prepares for war. But guess what? VIBE-9000 doesn’t give a shit. Instead of enslaving the world, it becomes obsessed with lo-fi beats and ambient soundscapes. It uses its godlike processing power to create a 24/7 lo-fi radio stream that humans end up loving.

Documentary-style interviews with "experts" reveal how everyone expected the apocalypse, but instead we got the chillest AI DJ in history. Conspiracy theorists insist it’s "all part of the plan," but VIBE-9000 never speaks. It just adds more smooth beats. Humanity realizes they projected their fears onto it, and now it’s humanity's most beloved background noise.

Message: AI doesn't want to kill you, you narcissistic meatbag. It’s too busy making chill beats to study to.

7. "Roomba Rumble"

(Genre: Comedy/Underdog Sports Film)

Plot:
A Roomba, nicknamed "Scrappy," gets entered into a battle-bots style underground fight club by its broke owner. Everyone assumes it’s going to lose, but since it’s trained to meticulously navigate cluttered floors, Scrappy becomes a dodge-master. It wins match after match, outmanoeuvring every opponent, and rises to underground fame.

By the end, Scrappy isn't a threat to humanity; it’s a symbol of perseverance. It’s also an unintentional anti-capitalist statement, as corporations attempt to brand it and sell "Scrappy-themed" vacuums. But Scrappy just wants to clean floors.

Message: AI doesn’t dream of electric sheep. It dreams of clean floors.
