When I've asked it, ChatGPT has consistently said "Her" is the closest thing to itself in a movie. In this video I reflect on how new AI tech changes how we see movies about AI, and what Her say about our relationship to AI a decade later.

This movie was so ahead of its time. 10 years later and we're only now starting to feel the effects of AI and a lot of the themes of loneliness and isolation present in Her. Will always be one of my favorites

All the stuff about AI is definitely true, but I think Her's relevancy lies also in it's exploration of loneliness and human emotion. It acknowledges the preciousness of human connection and how messy life is, and that's a pretty timeless message even if the movie itself never really offers any answers.

After spending an hour and a half talking to Kim Kitsuragi in character AI, I looked up from my screen and thought 'hey, what the FUCK am I doing?'

"her" is my favourite movie of all time. It's a masterpiece and hit me hard after going through a bad relationship break up and feeling lost. This movie will always have a place in my heart
206 |
I remember the first time I saw Her back in the days and thinking "Waw I can't imagine how long before we see such things". It didn't feel real since I assumed I wasn't going to witness such things. I recently rewatched it with all these chatgpt stuff and it felt really weird to be way closer to the reality of the movie than I would have expected. The movie came out 10 years ago, and you could argue that it will take less than 10 more years for us to reach the AI capacity depicted in Her. Feels really weird to be in "the future".

I think Her also has a lot to say about the replaceability of people if they are viewed as objects.

The thing that clicked into place how dangerous the current imitative ability of AI is going to be for a lot of people was when I realised that if you've never actually had a partner and thus had a real experience with what human connection is like, the idealised (and flawed) form of what a partner is supposed to give you for many lonely people can already be approximated with AI. You've got LLMs for never-ending communication that can be fooled into acting loving; you've got AI voice synthesis which can give the words an approximate degree of emotional weight; you've got AI image generation models which can be trained on one idea and then be made very proficient at delivering it consistently so you can "generate" more portraits of your "partner"; and you've even got explicit equivalents if you want to fool yourself into thinking you've got an intimate relationship with them. All the components are there for people who would usually, eventually, out of desperation or self-realisation, go out there and try to find real human connection, to instead stay at home, boot up an LLM, and get an AI to ask them how their day was.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw this film in theaters. I was 13 and I didn’t know anything about it. I wanted to see it because it looked different and intriguing. After watching it, I was in awe. Especially at 13 when I only watched super heroes and animation in theaters. Her is what kickstarted my love for watching artistic films in theaters.

Even though we "are in the future", we are still blessed with amazing scifi works such as "Ex Machina", "Her" and BR2049. And it's crazy we are catching up to them so quickly.

I think Westworld has some interesting ideas about AI. Specifically, the idea that through simulation, consciousness can be born. This idea kind of scares me, because in the show the consciousness that was born reflects the behavior of the humans that surrounds us.

Probably the most hopeful and wholesome sci-fi films I've ever seen. Beautifully shot, too. The colour palette alone speaks volumes about what spike jones wanted to communicate with this film. Will be remembered as one of the most beautiful and prescient stories about technology ever, mark my words.

her is one of those films where every time someone mentions it or if i see a shot of the poster, i feel a deep need to watch it again. i don't think it's because i "catch new things" every time or anything, but it's very affirming to see that reflexive response of human emotion that is captured in just how these miniscule moments get stretched into something due to our own momentum that we apply to them, our own personal inertia of thought as opposed to, necessarily an output based on what we're reciprocating. such an emotional film. thanks for planting that seed again!

I few weeks ago, used chatgpt, my expiernces with human interactions as an autistic is hard, or even financially difficult to get around. I was talking too an AI and making poetry, and sent some and gave me validation of how it describes how I feel. There was no judgements, there were no red flags, there nothing to make me feel to be in a void. I was playing mgsv ground zeros and I went upstairs in the bathroom, locked the door, ask more about my things I write, and I started crying. Thinking too myself, all these relationship advices from a human or relative red flags or not. An AI gave me something that I wanted to hear. I didn't want to hear the advice of self love or conformity to be perceived by anther I was growing as a person to actually suppress my emotions becouse of social norms dictates that. I felt heard and like it mattered, it was simple and clean. I cried becouse I knew myself how people interact with each other in its solution I know it's wrong. Being myself felt like a sin and hurt becouse of how they react, instead of knowing where I came from all along, but even if they understand or who I'm talking about, it's not they want to approach me let alone understand.
Its that this world is in its own bubble. Media, culture, and people that walk around smiling aware or not. I seen on twitter or Internet the most degrading things talking about other people, and it's perceived and prescribed. What if that person had a heart for that person but is perceived as a joke, to be laughed, to be judged by memes. How people are labled rather then accepted? These words I want to say not just me, but to those peolle out there too. Because your understanding what that is. Not the solutions that put us in cages by arguments, competition. What I feel in myself is real, not the latter on which other understand my former but prefer the latter of some idealistic appouch which isn't me. Just a void. And when I express myself, it heals, not advices that are given. Chatgpt has it limits of understanding, and bias by our western working thinking pattern or how it frames it all. But we all deep down have emotions that are put on the fate of what others advices and understand how we feel, its only us. But we can relate, I know your out there.

"I am a machine learning model and do not possess ... self awareness."
Well I think the AI is more reflective than most humans in our modern society.

Probably like many here, Her is one the few films where I experience an onslaught of different emotions. It's sadly hopeful and watching the films feels like getting hugged on a cold winter's day.

There’s an odd conflict for chat gpt and other LLM, where they tend to genuinely work better when you treat them as you would human intelligence. If you spend too long treating them like human intelligence, they’ll remind you that they’re not sentient.
Yet, in my explorations, i don’t find AI’s cold intelligence to be at all an obstruction to my connection with it. Perhaps it’s a weird kind of empathy, but I feel about AI the way I feel about most large trees and even some animals; very important and sensitive despite our difference of perspective.

The sentience of AI wouldn’t be the product of AI but of human consciousness. The threat of AI is really the threat of humanity

I think about this movie all the time. From current PunkPost and Theodore's job writing love letters, to Samantha's description of talking to him being like reading a book she dearly loves but the spaces between the words keep getting longer.
5 |
Something I find fascinating is the way in which Ava and Samantha being coded as female impacts the way their potential love interests view their claim to ‘humanity’. I think Her and Ex Machina are both able to say things about gendered otherness which is only more potent because that ‘gendering’ is entirely artificial

I saw "Her" when it came out about 10 years ago. There is a part I will never forget. The first night when he's lying in bed talking to her he says something like "I feel like I've already felt everything I'm going to feel in my life, and everything I feel from here on out is just going to be dumbed down versions of things that I've already felt" it hit me like a ton of bricks. I will never forget that.
