Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Contestant Seven painfully unravels on a live game show where one android is hidden among humans. Who Among Us by Abhishek Prasad & Rebecca Kahn Directors' Statement: We wanted to explore how the media and groupthink can cause a person to doubt what they know to be true. Seven's character goes through the trauma of gas-lighting, but on a public scale. Reality television specifically exploits and bends the truth in this way. We just extrapolated how that would play out in the future when bots like Siri and Alexa become nearly indistinguishable from humans. Wouldn't there be a game show where contestants have to figure out who among them is the machine The fascinating part is how open we are to untested technology, especially when it’s entertaining. That can be a good thing for technologists. From firsthand experience building artieapp (check it out on

Great Idee to indentificy the enteties, who it real I Am what i Always being. A piece of Light that keep Robots a distance, Robots follow the masse, humans stay most time alone in Home, don't listening what robots are saying, TV and phones brock the humans so hard, that they stay on home, no mathers who much Money they want gift you. People that are always trying to put humans down go be dammed someday to. Just a question of Time. Great work this One

The murkiness of the premise was distracting. If all the humans got eliminated, would they pay $500M to the bot Or would no one win Or would the last human to be eliminated win The cash prize didn't seem to be related to the real-or-not mechanic in any clear way (and that mechanic did not apparently have anything to do with the challenges presented in the rounds. Made it hard to buy in to this as a game show.

The robot was obviously the host from the very beginning. Even if the host was human, the women contestant had no chance of winning, if she choose herself as the android then (a) if she was wrong then the android got the money (b) if she was right then the android got the money. Objects cannot own anything - so in both cases, the studio gets the money back.

This short deserves an upvote for its great idea and acting. However, its being let down by the fact that 9 out of 10 viewers realise who the robot is within 1 minute. I understand that this was probably the point, to show how humans react not based on what someone does but by what is essentially a label.
reply

2: 16 This thing is flawed from the beginning If she hasn’t won any challenges she would’ve already been bought it out and Gone just saying she wouldn’t still be there 5: 10 How could he revealed if he’s the machine he wouldn’t know because as you said even though you do not know
reply

What I find funny is that some people think they're so smart because they were able to spot the machine within the first minute. (Who didn't) The sad part is that what these poor suckers fail to realise is that the one they correctly guessed as the machine is, in fact, STILL HUMAN!
reply

But. I thought that the fact that him was a robot was already known. I tought that the game was conducted by a robot and the humans had to discover who also was a robot! It was obvious at first glance, I don't understand. Sorry for my bad english
reply

Regardless of the fact I put my money on the host right off the bat. The way the story unfolded and the way the actors carried their characters made it great.
Especially the young lady.
She really made me feel for her. Well played!

reply

Throughout the whole thing you can just. Feel something is off, from sevens behavior, from drakes stiff posture, i just feel awful for seven though. Poor girl the host I. It’s so good man. It’s so good
reply

Seeing what humans are prepared to put themselves through in reality shows, I guess this is the next step. Westworld meets Big brother. Clearly, 3. 3 billion viewers with nothing else better to do! ;)
reply

It was clear from the beginning. The obvious twist was that the robotic looking host was not human. So obvious that i assumed that it couldn't be. I liked it though. but. come on!
reply

The black guy is more fake. I enjoyed it alot though. I feel sorry for seven. Thats traumatic for her. I hope no human experience her situation. I have a mother. i have a mother.
reply

Kind of an obvious giveaway with how broadly generic the statement about the machine being in the room was, but the ending was a little disappointing by how the reveal was done.
reply

I watched shorts video that explained this short fillm and came to watch this original video. i think this film is really really weird. makes me feel weird.
reply

Love the fact that one contestant is named Elon, but our thoughts are manipulated on a daily basis, from the color of a product to how a news story is presented
reply

The fake human is. The game show host! Neither contestant could ever be this bad. WOW. Then they blasted it with the Michael Jackson effect. Hee hee.
reply

jeez this was pretty bad: ( looked like it was made for $5 & the game show made no sense. also pretty clear from the first minute who the robot is
reply

It was obvious to me from the start that the host was the machine. It was so campy however that I loved it! Like the old Batman TV show
reply

I was thinking it was the host, seven was pretty convincing, & confused. I'm glad i went with my gut feeling. Pretty cool short film!
reply

I yearn for the simplicity of game shows like JEOPARDY, PASSWORD,
CONCENTRATION, and HOLLYWOOD
SQUARES.
Your thoughts here.

reply

I was gonna give it a like. then the laghing made me dislike, but when his face melted off i liked it again. A real roller coaster.
reply

Really All but one contestant has a normal name. Give 'me all munchers, or give the machine a fake name. Don't make it that obvious.
reply

I kinda had a feeling it was the Japanese host but I was still leaning towards the black dude, just cause I was hoping it was him.
reply

Awesome film. little hint to who it is. A Liar/ cheater always calls a person a liar or a cheater. LOL. LOL HINT HINT!
reply

The premise of the movie had potential, but the game itself is so convoluted and silly that it ruined the concept.
reply

it was a comment showed at the beginning he has perfect cheekbones, that made me realize the host was the robot.
reply

Well obviously it's him. Wait, no, that would be way too cliche. They're going to make me think harder than that.
reply

Paused it at 2. 31 and guessing the robot is the host. to bad robots can't be gay. like he clearly is
reply

If the crazy Liberal Progressives do event synthetic humans I hope they are humiliated and tortured.
reply

This is the most beautiful critique of modern society I have seen in 6 months, if not longer.
reply

Congratulations human can made a stress physo Android. watta a mentally Android made ever. lol
reply

Wow - predicted the end, but did not predict how sinister that would get - impressive
reply

The woman did some amazing acting there, the robot was obvious but credit to the actors
reply

Nice concept, but the host was so over the top, that is was obviously him. : -)
reply

Agree with others. Knew the ending at the beginning. Interesting concept, though.
