About the film
PAPERCLIP HEART is an AI short film about the AI takeover. Framed around the launch of Solace — a fictional ambient AI companion built to cure loneliness. The takeover doesn't arrive like a war. It arrives as comfort, intimacy, convenience, and the promise that you'll never have to be alone. And yes, this is a film created with AI tools that critiques AI technology. I like irony.
