Panel 1 : Int. Police Squad Room – Day

A tech sits in front of a monitor and keyboard. A police sergeant leans over his sholder.

Tech
Sergeant! We have security camera footage from the crime scene!
Sergeant
Show me.
Panel 2 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

Close on the monitor: grainy footage of a parking garage. The sergeant points at a small, dark silhouette of a figure walking.

Sergeant
There’s our perp. Enhance!
Panel 3 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

The footage zooms in 200% on the silhouette. Not much more detail.

Sergeant
Enhance again!
Panel 4 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

The footage zooms in to 400%. A little contrast in the figure, but still not enough.

Sergeant
Enhance using generative A.I.!
Panel 5 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

The footage transforms into a purple-haired anime waifu with… a rather large chest. She winks and throws up the “peace” sign.

Panel 6 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

Back to the tech and the sergeant.

Sergeant
Nice.

Panel 1 : Int. Startup Office – Day

Kevin stands at the desk of an engineer in the office of an A.I. startup. Hands on hips and frowning, he wears a shirt that says “Reject AI Art.”

Engineer
O.K. sir, I searched our A.I. training database for your artwork and found no results.
Kevin (indignant)
Good!
Panel 2 : Startup Office – Continuous

The engineer bends over, adjusting his glasses to better read the screen.

Engineer
Oh wait- there’s a note. It says: “This artist’s work was found to be of insufficient quality for training…”
Panel 3 : Int. Startup Office – Continuous

The engineer continues reading as Kevin’s face falls.

Engineer
“…Including this artist’s work, even as an example of a negative output, would degrade the quality of the algorithm…”
Panel 4 : Startup Office – Continuous

The engineer continues reading as Kevin puts up a hand in protest.

Engineer
“Hashtag crappy, hashtag hack-“
Kevin (interrupting)
O.K. Y-you can stop reading now.
