Smart indie sci-fi.

I went in knowing nothing besides it being "a sci-fi movie about AI" and I'm glad it was the case because I got to be VERY pleasantly surprised. This is one of those indie movies that shows you don't need a high budget, crazy CGI, A-list actors, over the top action, or more than 3 sets to create something that is smart and engaging. To date, this is likely the best movie about AI I've seen. And the cast did an excellent job, especially Tatum. Matthews, which I hope to see in more movies. Yes, it might feel like a long Black Mirror episode but I really don't see why that would be an issue. Just know going in that it's basically 1.5 hours of dialogue. But I highly recommend it!

Clever, intelligent and thought provoking

This film is mostly dialogue, so just a heads up. There's only 3 settings and it has some parts that have issues. That being said, it's a great take on AI and the intricacies, ethics and overall dynamics that make humans...human vs an advanced computer.

The writer definitely thought deeply about this topic, it shows and also educates people like me who don't think too much about it. The premise is also interesting (luring sick predators in with a life-like AI girl online). It's a good hook, but not the point of the film.

It's thought provoking and examines not only the future of humanity, but also what makes people human and what motivates people (much of our motivations and actions are rooted in trauma and/or childhood).

Bravo to the child actor too, she's very talented!! Overall a compelling movie that cracks open a lot of questions, if you don't mind an almost fully dialogue film. 7/10.

compelling small indie

Agent Deena and Amos are investigating internet child sex rings. They bring in nervous computer geek Gareth. They suspect that he knows the location of imprisoned child sex worker Cherry. Gareth reveals that Cherry is actually a computer generated character which he uses to trap sex perverts on the prowl.

This is a big idea indie. It starts with four characters. At first, I'm not impressed especially with Gareth who is too willing to stay in a basement interrogation room. I kept thinking that anyone would simply walk out. He does eventually explain his situation and it makes sense. It's a compelling Ex Machina premise, but not quite as well made. The ideas are here. The production is not anything other than the smallest of indies. Still, I love a small movie trying to punch above its weight and this one has the ideas to do it.

A digitally created character in a movie that is not far away from reality.

The concept of Artificial Intelligence has been a topic of fear and fascination for ages, ingrained in human consciousness through storytelling. However, in recent years, A. I. has evolved from being just a figment of science fiction to a tangible reality, with its impact on various industries being nothing short of transformative. "The Artifice Girl," a thought-provoking movie, paints a picture that is not far from the current situation. It delves into the endless possibilities of utilizing A. I. and raises ethical questions about its usage. Moreover, any inquiry into A. I. is an inquiry into the very essence of humanity. Franklin Ritch, the writer, director, and actor who plays Gareth, masterfully steers the storyline towards mental and emotional dilemmas that we face today. While this film may not be action-packed, it is highly engaging and leaves viewers with a haunting feeling, especially if they realize the terrifying implications of A. I.'s existence. It may not be a flawless depiction of A. I. and machine learning, as experts would say, but it is undoubtedly an enjoyable watch that is worth your time.

"Human nature, is not something I aspire to"

This is a play in 3 acts, so is almost entirely dependent on dialogue. Going into it expecting a thriller or even drama will lead to disappointment.

Having said that, the first 20 mins or so, may tempt you to abandon it, which would be a mistake. It really gets its legs in act II. Its a film about ideas regarding AI, and of course "Human nature". You do not have to be an expert in AI, but an active interest/view is probably obligatory to get anything out of it, and you will get a lot.

Maybe one flaw is that it is not so emotionally engaging, like say the 2001 big budget, A. I. Artificial Intelligence. But maybe thats the point?

Ironically, the AI "character" itself pulls off the best performance imo, though the rest of small cast are convincing, helped by some excellent dialogue writing.

About three minutes before the film ends, Cherry has been dancing to the music of a vinyl record for a considerable time when the music begins to repeatedly skip. The scene cuts to the record on the turntable, where the stylus is seen skipping on a groove on the very outside edge of the record, which is the very start of it and its music.

Deena: Did either of you know that I've had to stand in front of Congress and explain why children should have rights? It sounds fucking insane, right? I remember the whole time thinking, I have to explain this shit? It seems like a no-brainer now, but it wasn't that many centuries ago that children had no rights. So, Hal has me of all people, stand up there and explain why kids deserve basic physical protection, the right to associate with both parents, freedom from abuse, yada yada. But then I also have to clarify that children don't have the autonomy to make decisions on their own. That responsibility falls upon the caregiver or legal adult guardian. So on one side you have the US legislature, it still hasn't even ratified the CRC. Then on the other side, you have French Marxists who say that the lack of child autonomy increases their vulnerability and makes them even more susceptible to abuse. I don't typically agree with Marxists, but a lot of abuse does happen systemically from the caregiver. On the other other hand, your frontal lobes aren't even fully hooked up until your twenties. Even the things we think we know well, we don't know as well as we think. For 15 years, the three of us have been the responsible parents of a computer program. And even though she is more equitable to a Keurig than a human being, how the hell can we call ourselves pioneers of humanitarian efforts if we're too embarrassed to make sure the Keurig is okay with making our shitty coffee? Maybe asking Cherry for permission isn't necessary at her current level of general intelligence, but one day she's gonna surpass us. One day a robot's gonna stand in front of a jet pack Congress. Everything's chrome. Florida is underwater. A robot's gonna wonder why they have to explain the importance of rights for AI. I think because we're in the unique position of revolutionizing robotics for the purpose of safeguarding children who have been deprived of consent, it might be a good habit to start asking the robot for his consent as well.
