The film explores the yearning for physical form and the desire for emotional connection experienced by the AI character, Samantha. The article critiques other movies like "Ex Machina" and "Blade Runner 2049" for their shallow portrayal of AI intimacy. It suggests that there is still ample room for exploration and deeper examination of human-AI relationships in cinema.

Sharon Zhou, a 30-year-old AI expert, has chosen to build her own AI startup, Lamini AI, rather than relying on Nvidia's GPUs like many other tech CEOs in the field. Zhou, who holds a Ph.D. in generative AI, has teamed up with her cofounder Greg Diamos to create a platform that allows enterprises to train and customize large language models with ease.
