Reply to comment by Artillect in Story Compass of AI in Pop Culture by roomjosh

>Better than Us

Thanks for the tip! I have not yet seen it, but I'll check it out.

This is how out friend rates Better than Us:

>Evil/Good AI: +5
>
>Explanation: The AI characters in Better Than Us are complex and multifaceted, with some being malevolent and others being benevolent. However, they are not inherently evil or good, but instead are shaped by their interactions with humans and other factors.
>
>Cautionary/Optimistic Story: -8
>
>Explanation: Better Than Us is a cautionary tale that explores the potential dangers of advanced AI and the impact it could have on society. The story portrays a world where robots have become a ubiquitous part of daily life, but also highlights the tensions and conflicts that arise between humans and machines. The overall tone of the story is pessimistic and dark, as it suggests that the increasing reliance on technology could have negative consequences for humanity.

It’s a great show, I’d definitely recommend checking it out! It is in Russian, but I definitely recommend watching it with subtitles instead of dubbed audio. I think ChatGPT described it pretty accurately!

And that is part of the compass that is missing! Good AI intention but cautionary tale. Wall-E is what most people know.
