AI software works by collecting huge amounts of data, then using that data to answer questions or perform tasks. Well, what if the task is to write a food video in Bangkok? What does the data say that you want to see? And what would happen if a top director took the AI's script and interpreted it into a real video?

This is somewhere between a fun experiment and an episode of "Black Mirror". This is the week Adam and Jaspar get a break after six months of constant production, the machines get to run the show, and OTR takes a look into the funhouse mirror of what Thai foods big data thinks we should be writing and talking about.
