    There is this video on RUclips about why short films look the way they do compared to features, and it's clear the creator of that video has not being looking at a lot of the work independent short filmmakers, especially those working specifically in genres like sf, have been producing. Just like this short, there are lots of short films being made today ( and for a while) that more than rival features when it comes to the skills exhibited in cinematagraphy, sound design, and production values.

      @@Uathe The channel is MovieLUTs, and the vid is titled "Why do Short films look like that?". It's an analysis of the short film that inspired Whiplash, and the difference between it and the feature, but seems to miss the point that the creators of the short had the ability to create the look of the feature had they chosen to. Color grading for example is becoming pretty standard for even low budget filmmakers today. Also the stuff Vincent Laforet was doing in the early days of DSLR certainly looked as good as any feature -- how "professional" a project looks depends a great deal on how skilled you are, not the format you're working in.

      I think the idea was she's supposed to be a caregiver, and a caregiver who knows and understands loss and grief on a personal level can better relate to the patient and their family. Not that it's necessarily true or a good idea to do this, but I think that's the direction the therapist/developer lady was going.

      @@Webfra14 Looked more like engineers (working for a corporation to create a commercial product) than like scientists (working to solve some fundamental question, no matter whether from the field of psychology or from the field of computer science) to me. There was even a company logo featured at multiple places. A scientific research project - for example hosted by a university or by a consortium of universities - would hardly invent such a logo...
      Then again, maybe the distinction matters little: what research finds is usually exploited commercially as soon as that becomes profitable, and commercial application rarely gets along without having scientific foundations first.
      Maybe the distinction matters in so far as much of machine learning research is already done at commercial corporations right now rather than at universities, where it would usually be easier to access for public scrutiny. That part, that machine learning research is shifting out of the public sector, isn't science fiction any longer.
