Her
A film about a romantic relationship with an AI. A romantic drama about how technology and human relationships are changing.
What you get out of it
Think about how human relationships change in the age of AI
The question is not whether the machine understands you, but what you are willing to confide in it.
Why I recommend it
A man falls in love with his voice assistant. In 2013, that was science fiction. Now that millions of people chat with chatbots every evening, it is almost a documentary.
What the film does better than any essay: it shows the tenderness and ambiguity of the human-machine relationship without judging it. Watch it before you design any conversational product, and watch it again after.
Still true. Released in 2013, nine years before ChatGPT launched (late 2022): talking with an AI every day has since become common.
Affiliate link: it pays for keeping the library up to date, at no extra cost to you.
