is a groundbreaking streaming service conceptualized for my senior thesis, aimed at pioneering the use of generative AI to challenge and transform traditional media representation. This service provides an innovative platform where viewers have the unprecedented ability to customize key elements of their viewing experience—including characters, settings, and story arcs—within their favorite films and television shows. By integrating cutting-edge AI technology, Plottwist+ allows for real-time modifications that ensure media not only entertains but also mirrors the diverse realities of its audience. This ensures that every user can see themselves represented in any show or movie, thereby addressing longstanding issues of representation in media. With Plottwist+, the power to personalize media content is at your fingertips, turning the passive activity of watching TV into an engaging and personally resonant experience.

​

Currently, Plottwist+ exists purely in a speculative framework, meaning that real-time customization of media content is not yet achievable. However, to provide a glimpse into what future possibilities might look like, the website features three distinct variations of 18 well-known films. These versions have been pre-customized to showcase how diverse and inclusive narratives can be shaped using generative AI. This aspect of Plottwist+ not only serves as a prototype for potential future developments but also as an inspirational tool for imagining how advanced AI could further integrate into media production, enhancing viewer engagement and representation on a much broader scale.
