Even forgiving plot holes like the rest of the world not catching up to the same level of AI development, and looking the other way the plot does not give a simple reason why this AI became sentient, this is a mess of a movie.
It tries to explore AI problems, basically AGI. But it makes the most human-like AI possible which makes it full of emotional drama with no meaning or exploration of anything we've seen before.
This is nothing like Alex Garland's work. This is just guilt and blame and human gotcha plot twists.
And it just picks an explotative subject to bring in more interest. And it's for nothing. Why couldn't they explore it a bit more? Like getting into why the abusers get into that mindset or international child trafficking. But no, it's just a black box barely touched and only used as a dumb plot device.
Speaking of AI, I'm rooting for AIs to replace all these dumb writers.
Only giving it 2 stars just for the passable acting of one of the main characters. The rest are pretty wooden.
