“A.I. can give answers. It can’t give purpose.”
The Original Thought is a short film about two students, Vig and Logan, who are trying to make a film for a competition based on the theme Old vs. New. Vig wants the movie to be good, but instead of trusting his own ideas, he keeps asking A.I. what to do. He uses it to choose locations, plan scenes, and make the film feel meaningful. Logan gets frustrated because the movie looks clean, but it does not feel real. As they move through different locations, Vig starts to understand the problem. The A.I. gave him a plan, but it did not know why the locations mattered. He realizes that a good movie needs more than smart answers. It needs human thought, purpose, and meaning. By the end, Vig turns away from the phone and chooses to rewrite the film himself. He realizes he can create something more honest than A.I. because the idea has to come from him. The film shows that new tools like A.I. can help, but they cannot replace original human thinking.
