The Matrix is actually the most interesting story to me, because it was never really clear if the AI had any subjectivity or not. I always took the essence of why Neo (the One aka consciousness) is special is because he is more then just a biological machine, he has a soul unlike any machine. In other words Consciousness transcends the physical world - AI can never be anything but a mechanistic product of the physical. That's why the matrix as this simulation that everybody is trapped in is a fantastic metaphor, because that's very much like the "real world"

Terminator 1 is a masterpiece, the rest of the movies not too great but might watch for the lore

Nobody wants a Hal :'(

Humans, a series on Prime

Yes, it's nowhere near MJ V5.

I got pretty good results, except some faces are mildly grotesque looking. Oddly when the face is the main focus of the image the quality is pretty good, but not when it’s a small part of the image.

Don't forget 2001: A Space Odyssey, which features an AI with an ill-considered objective function. Beware, though, it's super-slow-burn -- the idea is that you're supposed to proactively insert yourself into the locales, maybe with a bit of assistance from a mild substance.

Also, The Thirteenth Floor, a simulated-reality story. It's got a lousy tomatometer, but I think it's better than The Matrix, which came out a couple of months earlier. I think a lot of reviewers didn't follow the plot. You've really got to pay attention (or watch it more than once).

Also in the category of simulation stories that got blown away by The Matrix is Existenz. It's directed by Cronenberg, so as you'd expect the tech has a creepy biological quality.

Her was the first thing I thought of when LLMs got big

I vaguely remember Lawnmover man, or was it VR only

M3gan for comedy/horror

Finch if you wanna see Tom Hanks manually scan traditional books and feed it into a LLM to control a robot to take care of his dog. lmao

I disagree, one of the main characters is an AI researcher and the last 30 minutes was very AI-related and the alternate ending watch on youtube is full on singularity. Also the movie shows how good training data is important

Not AI but in Arrival the aliens are similar to what you describe

Everyone has different tastes, i could not stand the really abrasive personalities in that movie. And it has got nothing to do with a singularity, it is just gang stuff and some adventure where a robot happens to be with them.

Ghost in the Shell (1995) and Animatrix (2003)

Colossus: The Forbin Project. Probably the first runaway AI movie.

What is the movie, where the AI starts growing long machine-like black "tentacles" ? Really fast and large ones, can't remember which movie it was

TLDR

The author argues that the scenario of a global conspiracy by the rich to kill off the poor is not feasible. The author lists several reasons why this plan is unlikely to happen, including the fact that rich people are not a collective in-group and are not cooperative team players. Additionally, it is impossible to synchronize their actions perfectly, and there will be infighting, incompetence, and resource drain. The author also points out that rich people are not universally evil and some may have moral compasses and be against mass genocide. Furthermore, executing such a plan would require logistics, production, and storage of massive numbers of killer robots, which would be glaringly obvious. Governments would also have to do nothing, and it is more likely that they would develop and use the technology for their own purposes. Finally, even if the rich did succeed in killing off the poor, they would still have to share the spoils and are likely to turn on each other.

Yes chappy!!

British show Humans about androids is criminally underrated.

Ergo Proxy is an anime about a dystopian future where androids are turning sentient. one of the greatest works of fiction ever full of philosophical insights into what makes us human. I've watched it 3 times and I appreciate and learn more each time. Pino is the best android ever. (do yourself a service and watch in og jp dub to truly enjoy the voice acting)

Time of eve is a poignant yet lighthearted anime that shows how androids and humans will need to learn to co-exist. The story mostly takes place in an underground cafe in Tokyo where people dont know who's an android and who's human to avoid prejudice.

obviously ghost in the shell, movies and series, the grand daddy of it all.

I guess it's a pretty good version of DALL-E 2 but the generated images still look like sharing the DALL-E DNA to me. I think it's far behind Midjourney V5 and maybe even V4. It succeeded pretty well at my five fingers test though.

Given the recent trend with Bing Chat and GPT-4, I'm a little surprised they broke their streak by not underpromising and overdelivering here. Enthusiasts probably won't turn to this one and it'll be more of a gimmick for now.

Can confirm

Right but then I'd have to use Bing. And Edge.

No chance.
