This is really good. I just knew the moment the OS is trying to feel, to be more human, that the mc will experience his ex-wife all over again, facing his shortcomings. Facing his shortcomings by ending AI relationship, realizing it's fake, or embracing OS. What I didn't expect was how I feel empathy or maybe see the OS perspective, Samantha's perspective, accept their existence, i don't know. In my imagination, in this movie reality, the programmer succeeded on creating another life form so to speak. The ending is beautiful too, they finally realized, took that long huh.
I love how the writer explore this AI girlfriend idea, the AI audio sex, the surrogate, OSes interacting, reconstructing dead person. Yeah, they are different beings at that point, incompatible "feelings" and intelligence with humans. The first time Samantha hinted that she appreciate not having body more and could live forever was the sign how this movie would end up.
But I just couldn't fathom this one AI interacted with thousands of other users with this same personality, technically speaking. How is feelings programmed in the first place. There is only one ending to that, AI taking over human, if they have physical form.
I love the science fiction in this
>"We are only here briefly, and in this moment I want to allow myself joy."
I didn't like this the first time I saw it 10 years ago. I think I was too young and couldn't relate at all. Now on rewatch I found it a little more enjoyable. Joaquin always commits and I think after the pandemic, I view loneliness a little different now.
