Ask HN: Interesting movies that explore AI?
Curious to hear of any movies you've seen that explore AI concepts?
Fiction or non-fiction, it's interesting to think about potential
future ideas that may not be possible today. Some I have enjoyed:
Her (2013) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1798709/ Transcendence
(2014) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2209764/ Ex Machina (2014)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470752/

| The film is called "her", it's such a small title I feel I should

| I haven't actually seen the movie, and it looks like it might be
| a little cringe worthy (it has good reviews though), but from
| what I've seen and heard of the film it seems quite prophetic.
| Especially given what we've seen from ChatGTP lately. There was a
| post of ChatGTP acting as a therapist of-sorts, and it was
| surprisingly good at it, and the prospect of falling in love with
| computer personalities seems likely.
|
| The film also appears to highlight the problems of modern society
| and how it is difficult to maintain real human connections.
|
| The film is also unique because it looks at what happens if we
| achieve strong AI, and we control it and everything goes well and
| as expected. That might sounds like a boring utopia at first, but
| the truth is there's lot of problems society will face even if
| the machines don't try to destroy us.

| I recommend the movie 'Her'. It's a bit whimsical and weird, but

| Amazing how much it was able to get right while coming out in the

| continue to be relevant. I rewatch it every year. It's available
| for free with ads on Youtube, in Japanese with subtitles, which
| is the recommended language to watch in. There have been many
| analysis written online that I recommend reading into after
| finishing the movie. It's a little slow and gives the viewer time
| to think. There's a independent show with the same characters
| that is sort related but not a sequel in any way. The 2017 remake
| is not a good reflection of the story nor does it stick to the
| original story in any way.
