I would expect an AI movie would be far more interesting if the AI were much more human-like by being radically human. This would lead to characters of the crazy-genius persuasion. Perhaps this type of AI having not been introduced is due to public discrimination toward what artificial computation can do and look like. But, obviously one needs to recognize to look toward movies when they want entertainment instead of when they want predictions.
