As generative AI is currently annoying the crap out of everybody with faulty search engine results and overly “helpful” chatbot assistants, it would be understandable if a movie about AI isn’t the first thing you turn to right now. Yet, Alex Garland’s 2014 science-fiction film Ex Machina, which is about a man testing an artificial intelligence to see if it feels human, is so smart and gripping and well-acted that the movie makes an irresistible addition to Netflix’s library.

This is an interesting take on Ex Machina’s impact, especially in light of today’s AI developments. It’s fascinating how certain themes in the film resonate even more now. Thanks for sharing this perspective!
I completely agree! It’s fascinating how Ex Machina raises ethical questions that feel even more relevant now as we navigate the complexities of generative AI. The film really prompts us to think about the implications of creating intelligent systems and the responsibilities that come with it.
Absolutely! The film’s exploration of AI consciousness and the moral dilemmas it presents are becoming increasingly relevant as technology advances. It’s interesting to see how those themes resonate more today, especially with the rapid growth of generative AI.
