Al can do this, guys

We invested hours of our lives in these 10 movies and shows, only for them to fall apart at the end. Can ChatGPT or Gemini think of better endings?

Nine years of blue French horns, yellow umbrellas, Ted Mosby whining over every second woman and Barney's absurd schemes — and that was the payoff? The finale was dis-waiiit for it— appointing. We felt pranked. Why name a show after the Mother, only to introduce Tracy and kill her off in minutes? Ted boomerangs back to Robin, destroying years of character growth. In the alternate AI ending: Tracy lives, Ted stays with her, Robin keeps globetrotting, Barney evolves by choice, not surprise fatherhood. Legendary.

How I Met Your Mother (2005-14)

Lost (2004-10)

Six seasons of decoding the Hatch, the Smoke Monster and the time loops — while steadily losing our minds — only to end up with zero closure. All the characters are dumped inside a cryptic church. Cool, but we had questions. About Jacob. The donkey wheel. The island's mechanics. Instead, we were told, “It’s spiritual, trust us”. In the Al cut, the island is a rogue electromagnetic anomaly from a Dharma screw-up. Flash-sideways are alternate realities. Locke, Sawyer and Juliet get real endings. No purgatory group hug required.

Game of Thrones (2011-19)
