A thought provoking little film discussing the ethics of AI and the difficulties of defining the essence of what defines a human being. The trauma that motivates its creator is very much a sub plot. As others have commented some of the dialogue is lost in some of the actors performances and it matters as this a very much a dialogue driven film.

I couldn’t understand many of the words that Cherry was saying, she seemed to slur the last few words of her sentences. Given the significant dialogue I found it all difficult to follow. Shame because it raised very interesting points about a very interesting topic.

This would have worked better as a novella or radioplay. There are some good ideas here, but there isn't enough for the eye to do to justify its existence as a film. The Bishop reference is just lame in something this lacklustre.

Simple well acted, no frills, great script and thought provoking. Best film I’ve seen in a long time.

AI girl character was super annoying

Solid story without a lot of special AI effects. It at least beats a lot of other gone of the rails AI movies. However, the full potential of AI after 50 years is a bit weak. In the pace AI is going now, that AI would have been a lot smarter/better than 'just at human level'

My granddaughter, daughter, and I watched this together...three different generations, right? We all consider this film to be one of the best movies related to "artificial intelligence" we've ever seen... This film was very philosophical, which means it had plenty of dialogue. I know this spells drugery and boredom for some viewers... The idea of a computer program developing sentience and eventually porting into an artificial body and ultimately detaching itself from its network and original mission was/is fascinating. The story works as a metaphor for humans who work hard to develop, to travel a path of reinvention and become a more evolved version of themselves. We think the acting, and small sets all fit the story perfectly.

What a terrible movie! The problem is not the low budget or the never ending dialogues, it is the whole concept of AI! So the top, the panacea of super intelligence is to dance and be angry? Really?? So super intelligence consists of being a freaking human??? What a stupid idea! What about reaching super consciousness, moving things with the mind, who knows! And bored of saving children? Honestly?? What a crap of script!

As someone else pointed out, this film says more about generational trauma than it does AI. Can we change our own programming? Are we destined to live out the desire of our parents? Do we need their approval? Or can we chose our own destiny? Didn't see that coming. Kudos!

STEAK ODER LACHS? DIE K.I. WEISS ES Deena und Amos sitzen in einem dunklen Kellerbüro Gareth gegenüber. Sie wollen von ihm ein Geständnis das er sich in Foren bewegt, in dem es um junge Mädchen geht. Gareth schwört das er nichts unrechtes getan hat, denn er hat eine K.I. basierend auf einem jungen Mädchen mit dem Namen Cherry entwickelt, um Pädophile anzulocken. The Artifice Girl von 2022 geht ca. 95 Minuten und ist ab 12 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier einen Sci-Fi-Thriller in dem es darum geht, das man mit künstlicher Intelligenz Pädophile Jagd. In drei verschiedenen Zeitabschnitten bekommen wir ein Kammerspiel serviert, das nicht nur philosophische Fragen aufwirft, sondern allgemein die K.I. thematisiert. Ich mochte die ersten beiden Absätze ungemein, nicht nur ist das Verhör im ersten ungemein spannend und mitreißend inszeniert. Im zweiten Abschnitt wird zudem die Frage aufgemacht, ob man K.I. in ferner Zukunft Rechte einräumen soll. Dies mag lächerlich klingen, eine K.I. mit Rechten, die tun schließlich nur das worauf sie programmiert sind. Jedoch bleibt die Frage, die hier mit Cherry aufgemacht wird, wenn eine Intelligenz soweit fortgeschritten ist das sie über den menschlichen Verstand hinaus geht, darf eine K.I. nicht selbst entscheiden was sie tun möchte? Immerhin kein typischer 08/15 Weltuntergangsmist Die schauspielerische Leistung ist auf den Punkt, im dritten Abschnitt kommt noch Lance Henriksen dazu und ich hatte leichte Detroit Become Humon Vibes. Am Ende bleibt ein Werk über das viele nur schmunzeln dürften (vielleicht gefällt das Thema auch nur mir), eine K.I. nach Gefühlen zu fragen oder was sie gern möchte. Jedoch wird hier fesselnd erzählt und die Laufzeit ist genau richtig gewählt, so das es nie Langeweile gibt. Von mir bekommt der Film 8/10 Punkten. Wer nun lacht das über die Rechte von K.I. geredet wird, sollte sich daran erinnern das Frauen, Kinder, Schwarze und Homosexuelle noch nicht solange die Rechte genießen wie wir sie heute kennen. Vor über 100 Jahren tat man dies ebenfalls als Schwachsinn ab.

This movie presents an excellent study case about the possibilities of AI singularity. It would have been good if it involved more characters.

This surprising film rises above its obviously low budget with its talented writing and relatable premise. Sits on the very near horizon of Sci-Fi soon to be.

wonderful. oh how great. no explanation. watch!

This movie is now my favorite AI movie. I like it more than Ex Machina. The dialogue is immaculate and as speculative sci-fi it has very little “hand waveyness.” The ending is Clever and left me turning over possibilities for a long time. There are beautiful touches of thoughtfulness in the prop design. There are very few movies that I will watch more than once. This one is on repeat…like a skipping record.

A team of special agents devoted to capturing online predators interrogate a suspect. As they unravel his motivations, their worldviews are altered. One good thing about having over 6000 movies on my watchlist is I forget what many of them are about. I researched them some time ago and just know they interested me. So I essentially went into this film blind. The opening segment is amazingly engrossing. The film is divided into three segments, each taking place in one room per segment and featuring the same 2 to 4 characters throughout. It's a testament to Ritch's skill (he also plays the lead and wrote the script) that is is able to keep our interests with such limited scope. A fascinating and timely film about...well, I'm hoping you'll go in blind as well.

Simple story in three stages. Warch on Tubi to avoid rental fee.

Wow. This had such a Benson and Moorhead or 2004's Primer feel to it. Super low-budget science fiction where Franklin Ritch wears many hats as star, director, editor, and writer. AND, strictly dialogue driven. It's super commendable and I absolutely love when films like this get made. Winner of multiple awards at Fantasia & SXSW and a film all science fiction lovers should seek out OR individuals whom are aspiring filmmakers.

Fascinating film. I was gripped the whole way through. A unique and intelligent addition to the A.I. warning genre. The script is smart but not so complicated that I couldn't just about keep up. The movie had a warm, hypnotic, allure whilst maintaining a jarring strain too. Left me in a meditative trance and wanting to watch it again. Will I watch it again? Probably. Is it one of my all-time favourite movies. Not quite, and for that reason I've given it a 4 out of 5. But for a low budget movie, it's impressive and definitely worth a watch.

So poignantly told about the struggle of the human spirit and the evil that surrounds humanity intertwined with the modern world and AI as it is a reality in today's world. I view this film as a love story. Bravo!

Really refreshing to see ai portrayed in a different way then the standard "doomsday" take
