Is "No Other Choice" the first major film release that's anti-AI?

Date: April 11th, 2026 12:33 AM Author: TurboGrafx-67 This movie is on a bunch of critics top 10 lists for 2025 but barely anyone saw it, and people who did think it's another kooky Korean comedy about poor people like Parasite
Weird because it's not funny at all, the main characters aren't even poor, and it's literally an accurate prediction about what's going to happen in every major US city within 12-18 months
Probably much sooner
Just kind of surprised that this is the only movie to directly call out AI/singularity being the death knell for modern industrialized society. It won't be a slow burn either, which was the point of the movie that everyone missed

*the name of the datacenter is Magikarpusedfly, which is explicitly an AI reference |

Date: April 11th, 2026 12:57 AM Author: TurboGrafx-67 I found Eddington to be solidly western genre and thematically similar to NCFOM and Hell or High Water. The data center is just the post-modern/dystopian analogue of Chigurh or 2 bank robber bros (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5855972&forum_id=2.#49810016) |
