I am an AI Researcher so it's interesting to write about something that combines my passion for movies with my daily work. The movie does a great job interviewing very prominent AI figures, ranging from the most pessimistic doomist to the unreasonable naive optimistic ones, in an engaging and clear way to the general public. Their discourse in the movie is very compatible with what they say in academic conferences, so no sneaky editing there, and the movie should be very informative on what some of the people that know the technical details of how AI is trained are thinking. Perhaps a bit overly dramatic - the director cries over anxiety about AI (?) - still the movie is a great way to learn a bit about the history of the economic uptick of AI and the current societal impact it's having. From an insider's point of view, I definely recomend watching it if you are interested about AI
