Prompt Theory Explained: The AI Short Film That Broke the Internet | FrontPage

A humanoid AI screams, “We are not prompts!” — and the internet spirals into an existential meltdown.

This is Prompt Theory, a chilling AI-generated short film made using Google’s Veo 3 by science communicator and filmmaker Hashem Al-Ghaili. It’s not just visually stunning — it’s deeply unsettling. Characters glitch, reflect, question their own existence… all while acting out a prompt they can’t escape.

What started as an experiment in generative video became a viral sensation. People are calling it everything from “genius” to “religious,” comparing it to dream trips, simulation theory, and their deepest digital fears. But beyond the memes and madness, Prompt Theory cracks open a deeper conversation: What if we’re all just running on a prompt too?

In this video, we break down what makes Prompt Theory so powerful, so disturbing, and so relevant. From free will and AI consciousness to the future of storytelling itself, this film is a mirror — and maybe, a warning.

Welcome to a world where the characters know they’re not real…
And they’re not okay with it.
