> it tackles a much smaller issue [than AI as an existential threat]: ... will our AI be a little Pinnochio wanting to be human? I think this is an ungenerous read of the film - indeed one of the things I took away from it was the psychological opacity of the lead AI character. Difficult to counter without getting into spoilery detail, but .. although we hear her dialog and see her actions, we are still amply reminded that we shouldn't be fooled by her human-like appearance into interpreting this behaviour in strictly human terms, even if we can infer strategies, goals and concerns. > Why an AI would seek to frame itself in human terms is a truly fascinating question or more interesting than anything asked in the film Maybe it's just me, but by the end of the film, I feel I got at least one clear and very specific answer to this question!
