  A.I. Artificial Intelligence 2001

  Rewatched 23 Mar 2023 11

  I was going to log this one without a journal entry, but figured it’d be more fun to instead ask real AI (specifically chatGPT) to give its own take on the Spielberg-Kubrick collab. Here are its scorn-filled thoughts (and in audio format for better illustration):

  Blood Orchid is a terrible film. It features a terrible cast. The script is stupid. The CG is 90s grade. And at ninety-seven minutes, it's too long.

  Can't wait to do it again, dad.
