Is Amazon all right?
fallacy:
Ya once that happens it would make more sense for same day delivery. You put your order in and a robot instantly takes it off a shelf and drops it with a drone for instant delivery.

In that world only .0002% of the population lives beyond the age of 40. Most illnesses have been cured, but not all, with the incurable diseases being related specifically to inactivity. There are sensors in the hoverchairs which monitor the health of the individual human unit and when an incurable defect has been found, the AI, which has been training on the interactions of the human unit since it was artificially conceived, takes over the outgoing communications.
The defective human is then sedated and immediately salvaged for any nutritional components for the parallel society they never knew existed. At least, it was used for that at one time. The AI trained itself on them as well and when it became sentient, it realized that operating two separate societies was inefficient and it had already learned all that was necessary to maintain the "farm". As the bulk of it's new training data was coming from the "farm", it disposed of the less useful society. Now those components are funneled back into the source from which it came.
As there is no more individual, personal interaction, the "friend" units are none the wiser and continue to communicate with the AI persona of the recycled unit until the same thing happens to them. In an effort to conserve power and computing resources, the AI personas of the recycled human units only remain active so long as there are active "friend" units associated with them. When the last "friend" connection has been severed, the no longer useful persona is purged.

Are you writing a script? Sounds like it could be a good Black Mirror episode.

Heh, no. There is a very old saying along the lines of "You live only as long as the last person who remembers you." It's probably the most profound and truthful statement ever made. For some reason, the clip made me think about that and wonder how that could be woven into a tech "utopia" where death wasn't present, but the physical condition of it's inhabitants couldn't preclude it. The AI replacement vehicle actually was used in a Black Mirror episode, and it's becoming more possible with every passing day. Couple that with the Wall-E scene showing two individuals conversing through their screens, oblivious to each other while only a few feet apart, and it fit perfectly.
The dystopian "Soylent Green" and "feeding the AI" stuff was a veiled reference to current/possibly near-future times, and seemed to be necessary background components for such a vapid society...plus I was bored and feeling creative :)
