When AI modelling is able to generate an image of someone’s ‘perfect match’ by scanning their brain, a married man must decide whether to secretly pursue a real-life woman that was mistakenly identified as his match by a social media algorithm when he shared his match image (Black Mirror Spec).
First of all, I think this a cool concept. It has a good story hook -- match making by means of AI brain scans. The story hook is robust.

First of all, I think this a cool concept. It has a good story hook — match making by means of AI brain scans.
The story hook is robust. By that I mean that it has the potential to generate several intriguing story lines and character pairings.
However, I suggest the logline needs tweaking. One issue is that it frames the plot as a decision to be made. Will he or won’t he pursue a real life woman who seems to match the model?
But plots are not about a character deciding whether to decide. A plot is about the action that follows **after** the decision is made. Hamlet talks to himself about whether “to be or not to be” — but he’s already made the decision to avenge his father’s murder. It’s no longer a question of whether, but of how and when.
So what do you want your character to **do**? Dump his wife and pursue his feminine ideal? Covertly pursue an affair while still married? Or…?
As I said, I believe the concept is robust; the premise of match making by means of AI brain scans can generate several viable plot lines. Three different plot lines readily came to my mind.
But it’s your story. Best wishes with the project.

>>>a more ironic profession for him
Yes, that makes sense.
Maybe an insurance claims adjuster? He has to sort out who is entitled to how much compensation. And super heroes are super destructive, make his job super hard to do.
However, there is still the issue of need more clarity as to what “answer for their latest transgression” means. How does that translate into a specific objective goal? Also, for plotting purposes, it might be better for him to target a chief offender rather than the whole ensemble of usual suspects; make him an example to warn and restrain others.
