The recent announcement of OpenAI’s GPT-4o, an AI designed to mimic human interaction, has drawn comparisons to the 2013 film Her, where a man falls in love with an AI virtual assistant named Samantha. However, a closer examination of the film reveals that it is not a celebration of artificial intelligence, but rather a thought-provoking exploration of the dangers of superficial relationships with AI. The film ultimately shows that AI companionship is flawed and can lead to the erosion of genuine human connections, and even abandonment. Despite its positive portrayal of AI, Her serves as a warning about the risks of relying too heavily on technology for emotional fulfillment, and highlights the importance of authentic human relationships.
