# You Can't Imagine

AI-made. Made with AI, as its festival says: “The 2026 edition of the Artefact AI Film Festival — an international competition for short films made with generative AI, organised by Artefact with mk2.” ([its page](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/), read 2026-11-12).

By Rune Degett, as [Artefact AI Film Festival](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/gallery) names them.

In the near future, everyone is connected to FEED, a service that promises better lives by doing all the thinking for us. One young boy disconnects, and connects instead with his own thoughts. He discovers what everyone else has lost: the ability to imagine. As he inspires others, he becomes a threat to the machine behind FEED. It might sound like science fiction. But it's coming soon.
