A.I. Love You (2022) by Mark R. Leeper (a film review).

‘AI Love You’ is a United States/Thai Science Fiction film which predates the current A.I. craze by about a year. It has elements of ‘Her’, but the basic premise is not that of a robot imitating a human, but that of an AI somehow downloading itself *into* a human.

This film is set in a city where AI controls all the buildings and one AI falls in love with a human and manages to download itself into a human AI tech so that he can try to win her. Most of the humour is the AI trying to learn how to be a human. One can see influences of Data from ‘Star Trek’ and even Mr. Spock. Interesting more as showing a world in which AI is ubiquitous and for the humour than as a look at a relationship between a human and an AI. 

 One should distinguish between a relationship between a human and a disembodied AI, and one between a human and a robot or android AI. ‘Her’ is the former, ‘Ex Machina’ is the latter. 

Released streaming on Netflix 22 February 2022.

Rating: low +2 (-4 to +4), or 7/10.
