Which Movies Get Artificial Intelligence Right?

Posted by Soulskill on from the i'm-sorry-dave,-i'm-afraid-i-can't-watch-that-film dept.

sciencehabit writes: Hollywood has been tackling Artificial Intelligence for decades, from Blade Runner to Ex Machina. But how realistic are these depictions? Science asked a panel of AI experts to weigh in on 10 major AI movies — what they get right, and what they get horribly wrong. It also ranks the movies from least to most realistic. Films getting low marks include Chappie, Blade Runner, and A.I.. High marks: Bicentennial Man, Her, and 2001: a Space Odyssey.

    Maybe we should wait until we have sentient robots before deciding which fiction was right.
    We could even let the robot decide.

    I would be like guessing in the 1850's which aircraft design seems the most credible.

  2. Very few AI movies are about actual AI by NotDrWho · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Good directors just use AI as a convenient literary device for exploring the HUMAN condition.

    Real AI would be boring as fuck.

    SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.

    Man, you've got some serious issues. Women don't exist to service you sexually. They have far more to contribute than just a warm and wet place to stuff your tally-whacker.

    Try this: Shower regularly, lose the flab, dress like an adult, and treat women like people and you just might find you'll have more success when you interact with them.
