Artificial Intelligence Movies That Get It Right
We all know Artificial intelligence (AI) is the hottest thing in tech right now, with new stuff popping up all the time. But how do the coolest AI movies stack up against where the real deal might be going? This recent buzz about AI is all thanks to ChatGPT, a chatbot made by a company called OpenAI. It is pretty amazing that how good it is at writing like a human, well, this happens most of the time.
Moreover, Hollywood has been all about AI for ages, digging into the whole idea of smart machines, robots taking over the world, machines corrupted, computers becoming human-like etcetera. Now in many movies, AI tech like ChatGPT are moving at lightning speed, especially in the sci-fi genre. And it is no surprise that these movies are getting even more popular day by day.
Well, sci-fi has been a ground for us to take a look at uncertainties about the future. But watching these movies gives us all the answers about where AI is headed and we might not get too far with the AI. There is no doubt that movies can get us thinking about what smart machines will mean for us, but they also tend to go to extremes – either AI saves the day or the world will end because of it.
So, today, in this guide, we have listed down movies, according to us, which have felt creepy in the weirdest way. The underlying fear that technology might wipe us out or robots might take us over leaves us thinking if technology is the good guy or the bad guy.
