May 16May 16 In recent few years, Hollywood is capitalizing on the AI Genre to release films exploring everything from out-of-control rogue algorithms and sentimental (man-machine) love stories to terrifying smart-home thrillers. Earlier this week, I searched for (free) "AI Movies" on Amazon/Prime Video, and the following two came up 1st and 2nd in the results:Home Safe (2022) [Marketed as "Suspense/Psychological/Dark"]MERCY (2026) [Marketed as "Suspense/Drama/Science Fiction"]Watch if you can.I watched both these films...decently gripping films with unpredictable endings (aka: Who is the villain...🙂...?). The villain of "Home Safe" was predicted correctly by my better-half after viewing barely 2-3 minutes of it, while myself, though watching continuously from the beginning was hung-up on the wrong character.In MERCY, I liked the closing bit of dialog following a ~20-minute-long chase scene that might rival James Bond. That final dialog went as follows:Judge Maddox (a robot and the presiding Judge of the AI Court system): "Chris... What have we done?"Chris Raven (a human detective of LAPD; who (correctly) claims to have a gut feeling, that Maddox, the robot, cannot have): "We just did what we're programmed to do. Human or AI, we all make mistakes...and we learn."Judge Maddox: "Yes, we do." Edited May 16May 16 by P_7878
