Hello. I've just joined. I just wanted to throw down my thoughts for the series AI Builds.

I think Nicholas is dealing with "writer's block", a creative drought that has begun to cause heavy fatigue, a reliance on meds and the combination is causing him to hallucinate.

He did develop the game but "borrowed" heavily from existing content because he feels he is unable to create original ideas, perhaps through his own self-critical behaviour and mindset. He's resorted to plagiarism of existing games / webseries but even went so far as to bring attention to his game in the same way Tony did with Petscop even quoting exact lines.

The hallucinations are his guilt manifesting. Mr. Eye is his all seeing eye, his mind's eye, his eye for creativity but also the eye he judges himself and critiques himself with. This creates a sort of duplicity that seems to alter what seems fun and bright ideas into a very quick sinister tone, especially in the latest episode which seems to take this turn when something is said or referred to from an existing property.

There also seems to be some kind of identity crisis going on here but that may be an allegory for this bright, creative person he once was as opposed to now.

All this may be very obvious but I wanted to discuss the series and start to see what the general consensus is, much in the same way for Petscop, I wanted to form an opinion on the series before I started to be influenced.
