**Rotten Tomatoes Predicts Your Tastes; 72% of Critics Fired by 2033 as AI Takes Over**

What if a film's "Fresh" rating was customized just for you—and the reviews were written by a machine? In a seismic shift for the entertainment industry, Rotten Tomatoes has just announced Project Sentient Score, an AI-driven algorithm that scrapes your social media history, purchase habits, and even biometric data from your smartwatch to predict whether you'll personally love or hate a movie. Early tests show a 94% accuracy rate, but the fallout has been brutal. Major studios have already laid off 72% of their paid critics, claiming human bias is "obsolete." Meanwhile, indie filmmakers are in a panic, as the new system has permanently tanked the scores of quirky, slow-burn dramas that don't match any audience's dopamine profile. In protest, the National Society of Film Critics has launched a campaign to boycott the platform, threatening to create a rival "organic" review site. As one disgruntled critic put it: "They’ve turned art into a targeted ad."
