Honestly you could make an argument against my previous comment saying that the clanker in the original saying “can you?” is just a dumb LLM repeating snarky reddit comments from its training data. Then the accurate reaction would really be “omg what a fucking dumb piece of trash”. In the movie this robot was actually truly intelligent tho iirc. Been a long time since i watched it.
The book was better, and completely unrelated. The movie is fun, but kind of a dumb action flick. It ignores most of the nuance Asimov would have had to make a movie you don’t have to think about. There’s nothing wrong with that, I just don’t prefer that, unless it’s what I signed up for, like with John Wick or something else obviously just action.
Better to read the short story collection it’s allegedly based on. Yet another case of a movie studio paying for the rights to something beloved so that they can slap the title on something generic and unrelated.
i should… prolli watch irobot…

It was entertaining enough for my tastes. I wouldnt call it good, but i just generally dont call action movies good.
