An AI-generated short film posted to Reddit uses a home-surveillance-camera aesthetic to show a man whose job was replaced by AI in 2027. Overlaid system text like "ROUTINE · DAY 412" tracks him tying his shoes and heading to an office, with the PURPOSE field left blank. In just 9 seconds, paired with the caption "They never fired him," it delivers a quietly absurd, chilling mood — showcasing AI video's narrative atmosphere and echoing anxieties about AI replacing work.
