I didn't like the ending.
So the kid tried to help her out and she ends up killing him? I'm assuming she locked down the house for good cuz they didn't show him getting out of there. That's F'd up lol

Yea I get that she's a robot and doesn't even have any feelings or emotions spit makes sense that she would let him die. I just felt from a movie or writers standpoint their could of been a better ending. He was a good kid. He did absolutely nothing wrong. I mean besides going behind his boss's back but the boss seemed crazy too and he just used the kid. Idk maybe I just like happy endings lol I guess this will teach you to not trust a machine. ¯\_(?)_/¯
shareHis own fault, he didn't get out of the room when he could have. She had the key, he should have known that when she left, it would be locked.
Problem is, when she asked if it was his intention to stay,
"Will you stay here?"
He thought she was asking him to stay there while she got dressed or whatever, when in fact she was asking what his plans were. When he didn't leave with her, she assumed it was in fact his intention to stay.
It teaches that idiot a lesson he got a person killed because he grew feelings for a machine and then didn't listen to its creator
shareI think the point was to show that she really did have true AI, in that she thought ahead to how the outcome of the situation would affect her future. Caleb was the only person (now alive) in the world that knew she existed. If she let him leave with her, there was every chance he would tell the press about her, which would expose her and prevent her from leading a normal life. With him locked inside, she was free to live as a human being in the real world.
Also, the ending was significant to the structure of the story as it showed, with him being trapped inside a room and her being on the outside looking in, that he had replaced her as the subject of a test. We assume Caleb was testing her throughout the film, but perhaps (it seems very likely) she was testing Caleb all along?
See I don't think she did have AI.
I heard that is what the filmmakers take, but the movie to me shows the opposite.
Every one of her moves was chess like to get out of their including sacrificing an arm, and a pond in the other AI. Think of the guy as just a queen, or some other important chess piece.
Vs to have real AI I think there would be more compassion, and she would not have locked him down there to die. There would be another plan for him. The punishment didn't fit the crime, and just made her a murder in the process. Sure she killed Nate already, but he had killed other hers already. Murder for murder is the standard punishment.
Just my 2Cents.
