Series creator Charlie Brooker You have attempted to write a partition using ChatGPT however, he stated that he did not like the result. Maybe he doesn’t know how to use it, but the fact is that if ChatGPT wrote the episodes of the new season, we could watch much better episodes. At least in this experiment not bad at all We have results.
Editor’s Note: Based in Turkey, in the style of Black Mirror from ChatGPT-4, about polarization I asked him to write a story. I didn’t get involved in the basic story. I asked him to improve his narration and flesh out some parts, presented the same story a total of three times, and mixed the quality parts in between into a whole. for images Midjourney and Microsoft Bing’I took advantage of
The year is 2035. The streets of Türkiye are mixed. Political polarization weighs heavily on everyone.

The government established “Combiners” A technology group called Polarize has developed a technology that can end polarization.
AI-based Polarizer identifies political trends by reading genetic codes and past life, helping people with radical thinking it erases its polarizing sides. The operation of the algorithm is a secret known only to this technology group.
All citizens use contact lenses, which are a kind of identity card.

These mandatory lenses allow people to enjoy themselves on social media, work remotely and follow the agenda. There are no cell phones or televisions anymore. These lenses if removed police forces take action and arrest that person. Polarization software is intended to be installed on these lenses.
A young, talented and idealistic intern named Zeynep; He’s new to the Combiners.

He joined the company with the dream of contributing to a technology that would prevent polarization in society. However, the polarized when you get the chance to learn exactly what it is, is starting to get different opinions about this technology.
Polarized, which actually divides people into two groups and tagged “us” and “them” is a program. The brains of those who do not conform to government political leanings are exposed to algorithms. a single political vision try to merge. Zeynep realizes this situation and takes action to prevent it. He secretly starts working on a new algorithm.
Zeynep, on the other hand Ahmet, the chief engineer of the Associators, He watches the press conference he organized to introduce Polarize to the public.

While Ahmet talks about the positive effects of Polarize on society, Zeynep because he knows the lies is suffering.
Zeynep, to his best friend Anil, He explains that polarized is a control mechanism that hinders free thinking. Anıl understands Zeynep’s concerns and supports her. Together, they secretly begin working to change Polarize’s algorithm.
But time is not in their favour. Polarized is presented to the public unexpectedly early.

It is mandatory for everyone to download and install. The application of the polarizer gradually begins to impose a single idea on people. In the first days it feels like nothing has changed, but over the years many images will be viewed that give the impression that everything is fine in the country.
Years pass. Indeed, polarized changes the political inclinations of opposing people and creates a successful fiction that the government is on the right track. In this process, Zeynep and Anıl inevitably have to wear contact lenses. They were exposed to the polarizer.
Polarized has created the expected unity and integrity in society.

But the price is that all individuals have a uniform political attitude. There is no room for dissenting opinions. Anıl was also under the influence of Polarize. It has come to support the Combiners.
Zeynep was earlier because of the facts he knows It is not under the influence of Polarize. He is now a fugitive and Anil betrays him to the Combiners. But he doesn’t give up. Even after years, he continues to work on the algorithm that he continues to develop.
Zeynep teams up with a hacker group made up of few people she trusts.

With this new team, the process of creating his algorithm is speeding up. They work faster and more effectively. Now they feel they have a chance against Polarized. They call their algorithm “Mirror”.
And finally, Zeynep and the hacker team manage to infiltrate Polarize’s infrastructure.

A message suddenly appears on the screen of every individual in society: “Soon we will introduce our new algorithm, ‘Mirror’. It will replace Polarize from now on. Mirror is not a manipulation tool, it is software that shows people more clearly the complex connections between reality and human values.”

Zeynep continues. “Last 3… 2… 1… No longer the false world that Polarize shows you. Instead, you will see yourself through the eyes of the person you are with. The mirror is actually a mirror of empathy. You will be able to see your own mistakes by not looking at yourself with your own eyes, but through the eyes of people you don’t get along with, and giving them justice.”

Zeynep’s voice can be heard loud and sharp: “Remember, the positives you’ve seen all these years are made by Polarize and You can only see real images by Mirror. If everyone just takes off their glasses and now looks at the real world, you see that nothing is going right. You don’t get arrested if you take the lenses off, because 100 million people are doing it at the same time.”
The public, looking in the mirror, sees the true face of their own political thoughts and the polarization of society. However, the psychological and physiological recovery of the people exhausted by the Polarized over the years will not be easy.

The mirror enables everyone to reflect on and question their own political views and values. This confrontation It is a reflection of society’s complex and diverse thoughts.
Zeynep explains how people use “Mirror” and what Ayna is like in reducing the polarization See how effective it is. The mirror causes people to question their own beliefs and values, and enables others to understand their beliefs and values.
The determination in Zeynep’s eyes is the glint of a vision believed to the depths of her mind.

As he uttered his last words, his voice was shaky but firm: “This mirror we made, could be the start of real change, he shouts. “But in the end, the real change is in our hands. We have to look at ourselves honestly, understand ourselves and respect ourselves. Only then can we overcome polarization and unite our society.”
“Empathy Mirror, makes no political judgments for you,” he continues. “On the contrary, it invites you to see and understand the world through the eyes of others.”
These statements cause great unrest in society. Empathy mirrors allow each person to see the world through the eyes of a person with opposing political views.

Assemblers only look at this situation, against a society of sudden enlightenment They realize that there is nothing they can and will do to flee the country.
Zeynep adds her last words: “The Empathy Mirror can be our way of understanding each other in a polarized society. But in the end, the real change is in our hands. We must use the Empathy Mirror, understand and respect the experiences of others. Only in this way can we transcend polarization and unite our society.”
These phrases echo again and again in the minds of the people.

Editor’s Note: When I thought about why he chose the name Polarized for the technology in question, I thought it had something to do with the polarization in his sunglasses. I assumed it associated harmful thoughts with blocking harmful light, but remembering the original meaning of the word, I decided the name was perfect; to polarize, originally from the French verb “to polarize”. Mirror may have used the name because Black Mirror means Black Mirror. It’s quite successful that it creates a connection to the idea of ​​”Mirror” because it’s empathy-oriented.
