Steven Spielberg made a film
A.I., A.I., O!
And in this film he had some bots
A.I., A.I., O!
With bot-bot here and a bot-bot there,
Here a bot, there a bot, everywhere a bot-bot
Steven Spielberg made a film
A.I., A.I., O!
Steven Spielberg made a film
A.I., A.I., O!
And in this film he had Haley Joel Osment starring as a kid-bot
A.I., A.I., O!
With an act-act here, and an act-act there,
Here an act, there an act, everywhere an act-act
This is getting really dull,
A.I., A.I., O!
Well . . . that didn’t go as planned but we are in fact discussing Spielberg’s film “A.I.”, a film conceived of by Stanley Kubrick dealing with the nature of natural versus artificial intelligence and asking the questions “Can a robot love?” The film also asks if a human could love a robot, so you can tell this film predated 4Chan and some of the more questionable corners of the internet where that question has been emphatically answered in the affirmative. Please don’t confirm this for yourself. I beg you. Anyway, give a listen while Max-o-tron and Mike-bot discuss. A.I., A.I. . . . oh.

One could write a book to answer this question! I’ll stick to only a few examples! 2001:A Space Oddessy had video chat and flat portable tablets, Metropolis had I think the first really humanoid looking android/robot and though it didn’t interest me, Her predicted how crazy people get over anything that even only seems like it’s talking to you!
I dunno, Vince; “2001” featured a powerful A.I. that controlled everything and eventually decided that it could do the job better without the annoying humans. I mean, that’s just crazy, right?………. Right?
OK this is really dumb… I forgot about HAL! At the very least, I forgot it was AI and just another character!
