Well . . . that didn’t go as planned but we are in fact discussing Spielberg’s film “A.I.”, a film conceived of by Stanley Kubrick dealing with the nature of natural versus artificial intelligence and asking the questions “Can a robot love?” The film also asks if a human could love a robot, so you can tell this film predated 4Chan and some of the more questionable corners of the internet where that question has been emphatically answered in the affirmative. Please don’t confirm this for yourself. I beg you. Anyway, give a listen while Max-o-tron and Mike-bot discuss. A.I., A.I. . . . oh.
