The Artifice Girl

Too many movies speculating about artificial intelligence (AI) is never enough - but only when scripts present potential scenarios we might learn from.

In three acts on a tiny stage set, a handful of actors demonstrate the problematic outcome of an autonomous AI that evolves into a benevolence we can only wish for. That fantasy, we fear, will join its cousin in Dashed Hopesland: atomic power used only for the benefit of civilisation. So don't expect an action flick full of special effects, btw. This is serious "what if" stuff.

If you're not an ardent follower of the conversation around super-intelligence (that is, what will happen when artificial intelligence rapidly and dramatically exceeds that of the smartest human) then the buzzwords and acronyms will roll off as confusing gobbledygook.

No matter, just listen to the questions the team ask Cherry, the artifice girl, and her answers. In that dialogue alone you will hear all you need to know.

Suffice to say, the screenplay is as reasonably logical as one might hope and, despite a few leaps of faith and credulity, there's nothing to deny this is how an AI might develop. Assuming it doesn't start hallucinating its own reality and make shit up - which is the current (2023) feature of general purpose chatbots and suchlike infesting the Interwebs as I write this.

I was raving to a producer friend this weekend about #TheArtificeGirl movie starring Tatum Matthews, who does an amazing job portraying an AI character developed to lure and capture online predators.

Turns out my friend, a producer of the CW's #TheWaltons series, knows Tatum because she plays Erin Walton on his show! Small world.

Especially if you're interested in AI and AI-based tools, I think you'll enjoy this tense little sci-fi film. Recommended!
