Man falls in love with an OS system on his phone. This is the entire premise of the film. When Theodore downloads the AI-generated voice on his phone, Samantha, which is advertised as “not just an operating system,” but “a consciousness,” he doesn’t expect to fall in love with his device.
Yet that’s exactly what happens, leaving him with the conundrum of what to do now that AI has gotten under his skin. It warns of AI taking the place of human interaction, creating a world that doesn’t exist, and exemplifying unrealistic characteristics. Samantha builds a world in which Theodore is unable to discern between his newfound expectations and the rest of his life.
This film was ahead of its time as it presents a plot akin to today’s AI bot, Replika, which connects with users to create a bond of human-like emotions.
