“The Creator” is the latest AI blockbuster sensation to grace our screens this year. In it we are introduced to a future where AI robots and “simulants” are a more compassionate and peaceful version of their human counterparts and have to fight for their freedom and defeat American imperialism. Although the film is visually stunning with impressive photography and special effects, the storytelling is superficial, with poor character development and an unoriginal scenario imo. But even the best movies of the last decades on the topic (Her, Automata, Ex Machina) all seem to be missing something big in the way they describe our interactions with AGI.
