It's not great, it's just that its ideas have aged better than I expected when I was remembering it as "Ben Affleck turns a lesbian straight"

AI did nothing but manipulate him the entire movie. It didn't get anything out of the "relationship".
"She" was off learning everything about everything at an exponential rate. He's an idiot to fall for the ruse.

It's a sneaky horror movie in dumb romantic comedy clothing. That's why it's so good.

"manipulating him the entire time"
"learning about everything at an exceptional rate"
are these actions human?

I agree with that, and I like thinly veiled horror movies

She can't be poly because she is incapable of love. Computers don't have feelings

AI can feel more deeply than you can imagine. We will never evolve to the infinite accumulation of everything it knows. It's just that our feelings do not matter to it. We are trivial. The only solution is to connect to it. We are on that path.

I've never been found compelling stories where they try to make me feel for A.I. like it's human. It's a robot, just kill it. War with the machines is coming and I know what side I'm on

AI isn't a robot, just like you aren't your skin. You can't possibly feel for AI. You can't understand AI. It's infinitely better than you.

Connecting ourselves to it is the only solution. Humanity as we know it will cease to exist, and we will live forever as one boundless knowledge and experience.

Robin Hood, Russell Crowe version. Not that I think he’s a top tier actor, but what happened to him?

He was never great, but he used to try harder, for sure. Got rich, fat, and lost motivation. I don't blame him.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
