How Close Are We?
Interactive films and games are widely available (Netflix's Bandersnatch, You vs. Wild, Telltale Games). Streaming platforms and video games use branching narratives and player choice to create personalized experiences. AI-driven content recommendation and procedural storytelling are advancing, but true algorithmic generation of complex, personalized films is still in early stages. The episode's core tech is real, but not yet as seamless or sophisticated as depicted.
