What an absolutely amazing movie--a PhD's worth of philosophy education in a two-hour dramady.

This is one of those can't-stop-thinking-about-it movies. Highly recommended; probably the best film I've seen, ever.

No-one, huh?

I was on a flight returning from O'ahu earlier this week and after watching Saving Mister Banks, began watching this movie. I was a bit disturbed by it. I liked the ideas it was addressing but I felt it took too many liberties with how an AI system could actually "grow"

I am going to try and finish it this weekend.

I've heard that Alan Watts (or at least some of his work) plays a role in the denouement of the film and that also bothers me as I am student of his works, and something of a fan and critic of his philosophies.

Just had a chance to see it. One of the creepiest movies I've ever seen.

What an awful, awful potential future - and I can totally see society going that way, if 'mass market' AIs came out that reacted the way these do.

The downfall of society... loss of human interaction on a massive scale, increased isolationism and introversion... *shudder*

Oh... and innumerable (overwhelming) tech support calls. My AI did this! And did that! And disappeared! Gimme my money back!
