Roommate From Hell

Christ! Ever had a roommate from hell? Jesus has. Literally. In my new AI comedy short, our landlord and savior foolishly rents his modest spare bedroom to the devil.

The story is a layered exploration of dichotomies—told through the surreal dynamic of Jesus and the Devil in contemporary times. It’s humorous, blasphemous maybe, but also reflective of our relationship with AI—both chaotic and transformative. There’s irony in how this story was created—using AI to examine our fears of it. Like Jesus’s discomfort with the Devil’s antics, humanity faces apprehension about advancing technology. Yet, the narrative shows a path forward: embracing chaos can bring joy, camaraderie, and new opportunity.

What makes this story resonate is its universal humor—we’ve all had shitty roommates. Beneath the antics lies a poignant message: change doesn’t have to be met with resistance. By embracing what feels foreign or frightening, we can uncover unexpected joy. The story thrives on its tension—order versus chaos, light versus dark, humanity versus technology—but it lands with hope, suggesting that surrendering to the unknown can lead to something greater.
