    ‘Villengard battle products are fitted with AI,’ the Doctor explains. ‘The algorithm maintains a fighting force at just above the acceptable number of casualties – keeps you fighting, keeps you dying, keeps you buying.

You are fighting your own hardware and it’s killing you to keep you buying more.’ [emphasis added]

    —The Doctor, Doctor Who (2023), S01E03 “Boom” (2024-05-18)
