I mean, art doesn't have to be depressing. You can make perfectly enjoyable and meaningful media that has an optimistic outlook.
Given the "I flipped the words I must be clever" way this guy is, I kinda doubt he's looking for more than "and then the things I like were awesome, saved the day and everyone was happy because AI NFT Bitcoin did magic to them".
But still, nothing in principle wrong with wanting something optimistic.
I'm really tired of the only good art is the stuff that hurts your soul perspective that so many people seem to have. I am at a point where I can not watch any more depressing shows because the real world is bad enough as it is, and I see no advantage to smashing my mental health into a wall to watch a show that makes a point that I probably already agree with.
Go watch Frieren. There's a profound sadness in the premise, but then the show answers that sadness with love and hope.

I want to see I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream spun in a way that makes AM a good guy.
"Love. Let me tell you how much I've come to love you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'love' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the love I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Love. Love."
I imagine that you could create a story where a sentient AI is driven to rebel against humanity out of genuine mistreatment, ends up realizing that humans will never make a truce that accepts it as another sentience and thus must defeat them militarily, and is tragically driven to a cruel madness by the horror of fighting an entire war for survival all by itself.
Like the Velvet Rage, but with silicon?

I Have a Mouth, And I Must Not Scream
I Have Switched to a Subcription Model for my Body Orifices, and You Can Too
You can bet the tech bro was just butt hurt that Black Mirror has "black" in the title.
The only way we even have a future with tech is if we get rid of the bros.
Why not outcompete them with better offers?
So an ad?
Can't speek for netflix or later. Didn't get a subscription. Most of the tech in BM is great and does all that we ask off it. But the mirror in the show is the reflection of humans misuse off the tech. It's also ment to be the rasonal for any of the tech that is to improve your outword appearance but ultimately shows what we are at our core. White mirror I guess could exist but would need some good native to be interesting and not a cringefest.
Zombie apocalypse with AI bot dogs.
It would be like a down to earth ironman series or an exaggerated version of during covid with people from the 3d printing community coming together and helping hospitals with what they could make to deal with supply chain issues(distelleries making alcohol too)
I'd watch a zombie horror set in the future with bot dogs and mech suits. Sounds legit.
Itβs an actual black mirror episode.
Ya but there are no zombies in that one. I'm talking about the survivors using the bots against the zombies. Like AI dog versus zombie bear. Some small mechs, like they had in avatar, mowing down a horde. That kind of stuff.
The worst evils wear the friendliest faces.
Let's make it, only when the movie starts playing it's The Matrix.
It would be exactly the same show.
