Video Ideas:
– Commercial about a new device that enables the user to be more “intelligent”.
– Parody about an existing technology that benefits people in different ways.
– AI with personalities and emotion.
AI that have different personalities and express emotions.
– Examples would include Siri giving unusual responses the user is not used to or
expecting to hear back.
– Siri voice can just be inputted within the editing (replaced with Robotic voice)
Scene Details: Would be started with the introduction of the newly updated AI systems and the
day in the life of a student who relies on Siri or Alexa.
Scenes should be about 15 seconds each to reach at least the 2 minute mark.
Storyboard:
? Scene 1: Introduction to the “newly personalized” Siri that have been updated with new
emotion technologies and personalities and start off the user with the start of their day,
asking Siri, “Siri, What will the weather be like today?”
? Siri responds “There’s no chance of rain today and it’ll be sunny for the most
part, just perfect for the beach!” (excited)
? Person laughs heartily and smiles.
? Scene 2: Student goes through their day and then asks Siri what the traffic is like going
to UC San Diego, Siri proceeds to give a response based off of its current emotion.
? Scene 3: Student arrives on campus and then ask Siri what his/her schedule is like and
what is due for that day and week. Siri gives back a response that makes the student
question Siri and asks what it’s problem is.
? Scene 4: Student shares Siri Problem with friend and talks about what’s going on.
? Scene 5: Student starts to wonder what other uses this new AI can offer, and after
experiencing it for personal reasons, starts to brainstorm on how he can take advantage
of this new AI system. He then comes up with trying it out on the platform Amazon
Mechanical Turk and sees if he can get this AI to answer the surveys and questions for
him.
Script:
Scene 1
Introduction begins as the newly personalized Siri has just been updated and released to the
public, noting that it now has “emotions” and different “personalities” depending on the user
and their tasks in hand. (on the screen?)
Student begins day in their room and takes out personal smartphone and sees that the new
update has just been released and begins updating their phone immediately. He is excited.
Scene 2
Update takes a long time.
After the phone has been updated, Student then asks Siri, “Siri what will the weather be like
today?”
Siri takes time in responding and shows the refresh button, suddenly it changes color and
answers, “There’s no chance of rain today and it’ll be sunny for the most part, just perfect for
the beach!” (excited).
Student smiles, and finds it interesting and keeps using the app throughout the day. Student
gets ready for school and before exiting their room, asks Siri, “Siri, How’s the traffic today?”
? Siri responds, “There’s no traffic right now, your lecture hall Galbraith is 4 miles away
from you and your class will start in 5 minutes, you are going to be late again!!! Get up
earlier tomorrow.”
This time, student seems nervous because he forgot that he actually have a quiz today.
?
Scene 3 (the next day)
Student is now on campus and walking to class.
Student: “Hey Siri, how’s my schedule today?”
Siri: “Well, today you only have one class at 11am. How about we go on a hike and take some
nice pictures at Torrey Pines! I just got a camera update that I think you would like. Also, there
is a new cafe 1.2 miles away that has 4.7 star average review from Yelp.com”
Student: [thinking that siri is being a little invasive] “ok, thanks siri..
Scene 4
Friend: “I don’t know man, I like the new Siri! She really gets me… Today she reminded me
about my girlfriend’s birthday AND ordered her a present on Amazon for me with same day
shipping!”
Student: [unsure, looking down at phone]“Thats pretty cool I guess…. But, isn’t it sometimes
weird that shes like, a regular person? Minus the voice? I’m not sure if I like it.”
Friend: “WHatever.” [to siri] “Siri, will you clock in for work for me?” [to student] I need the pay
for lunch hour, I’m trying to buy some new airpods”
Siri: “Yeah bro, I gotchu”
Friend: smiles to student smugly
Scene 5
