Which Movies Get Artificial Intelligence Right?

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.

the low markers arent all deserving.

Chappie: christ this film. its johnny five with about half the direction. Its hard to imagine it came from the same guy who did District 9 but Chappie has almost nothing to do with the robot. Maybe it doesnt work well with american audiences? the whole thing should be renamed "Die Antwoord fucked the director and now he owes her a film role."
Blade Runner: more about making the audience question the authenticity of the human experience than about direct and accurate AI. it leaves the audience searching to define and assess the human condition and the idea of self.
A.I.: another Steven Spielburg sobfest. the usual ingredients: abandoned child + sad plot = revenue. Steve had to gloss over quite a number of really limiting factors of AI and computing in general to spin this turd. the ending is an insult to the audience intelligence, and made me walk out of the theater.
