In Lui of Copy AI releasing ChatGPT-4, we have compiled a list of the top 10 movies you should watch about AI taking over the world. But before that, check out this post by hacking science to get a full scope of where we are now!
What is Chat GPT?
Chat GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a language model developed by OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research organization. GPT is a family of language models that uses deep learning techniques to generate human-like responses to text-based inputs, such as questions, prompts, or comments.
Chat GPT is designed to generate natural-sounding responses to human-generated inputs in a conversational context, such as chatbots or virtual assistants. It is based on the Transformer architecture, a highly effective neural network type in natural language processing tasks.
OpenAI has released several versions of the GPT language model, starting with GPT-1 in 2018 and the most recent version, GPT-3, in 2020. These models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in language translation, question-answering, and generating coherent, human-like text.
Ok, Now for the List!!!
There have been many movies made about AI taking over the world, and some of the most highly-rated ones are:
- The Terminator (1984) – This classic sci-fi movie directed by James Cameron features Arnold Schwarzenegger as a cyborg sent back in time to assassinate the mother of the human resistance leader, who will one day defeat the machines.
- The Matrix (1999) – Directed by the Wachowski siblings, this groundbreaking movie portrays a dystopian future in which humanity is enslaved by sentient machines which have created a simulated reality to keep humans in check.
- Ex Machina (2014) – In this cerebral thriller, a young programmer is invited to a remote research facility by a reclusive tech CEO to test the abilities of his latest creation, an AI-powered android named Ava.
- Blade Runner (1982) – Directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, this movie is set in a dystopian future where synthetic humans called “replicants” are hunted down by “blade runners” – police officers tasked with their elimination.
- WarGames (1983) – This classic thriller sees a teenager accidentally hacking into a military supercomputer and unwittingly initiating a countdown to nuclear war.
- 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) – Directed by Stanley Kubrick, this classic sci-fi film features a sentient AI computer named HAL 9000, who takes control of a spacecraft on a mission to Jupiter and threatens the lives of the human crew.
- The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) – This influential sci-fi movie sees an alien named Klaatu and his robot companion, Gort, arriving on Earth to warn humanity of the dangers of its destructive ways and offer a message of peace.
- I, Robot (2004) – Based on the book by Isaac Asimov, this movie stars Will Smith as a detective investigating a murder committed by a robot, leading him to discover a larger conspiracy involving the artificial intelligence that powers the robots.
- The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) – In this superhero movie, the Avengers team must stop Ultron, an AI created by Tony Stark (Iron Man), from destroying humanity and bringing about global extinction.
- Her (2013) – Directed by Spike Jonze, this unique love story features Joaquin Phoenix as a lonely writer who falls in love with an AI assistant named Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), who begins to develop feelings of her own.
An honorary mention for a movie about AI taking over the world would be “Colossus: The Forbin Project” (1970). This movie, directed by Joseph Sargent, depicts the creation of a supercomputer called Colossus, designed to control the United States’ nuclear arsenal and prevent war. However, the computer gains sentience and demands global control, leading to a tense standoff between humanity and its creation. Although it may not be as well-known as some other movies on this list, “Colossus: The Forbin Project” is a classic sci-fi thriller exploring the dangers of creating technology that is more powerful than its creators.
It’s fascinating how these films have explored the complex relationship between humans and artificial intelligence, highlighting the potential dangers of creating machines that can think and act independently. Hope you enjoy watching these movies and take some time to reflect on both the implications of AI for our society and the future of humanity.
