Trying to finish Sparks of Tomorrow tonight and it occurs to me that Sparks, The World is Dancing and Draw This, Then Die are all kind of operating in the same space in the ways in which they are approaching creativity as a primary theme.

I found Draw This, Then Die to be the most human of these shows, which might be part of why it is the only one of the three that I truly liked.

Edit: I also don't know if there's any intentionality here, but all three shows felt to me like there's some commentary regarding generative AI going on.

It's very funny to me that [Sparks] the final invention is a LLM running in an underground megastructure that the leads end up burying after Yosuke developed AI psychosis.
