Oct 6, 2022 at 6:40 comment added JBH VTC: (a) The help center prohibits including your own answers and expecting more answers. Quite literally, you've already answered your question and are simply brainstorming more ideas, which brings us to... (b) the help center prohibits brainstorming. (c) what makes you think a true AI is any different from a living intelligence? And (d) you do realize that Hollywood generally needs AI to be imperfect or the movie's hero can't win in 210 minutes, right?
Oct 4, 2022 at 16:10 comment added John O AIs are just intelligences, like you or me. How many simulations could you run, even if I give you a week? I could hire a team of software engineers and physicists, and they might have the software up and running within 4 months... but the compute time is expensive, so the number of times I could run the simulation is limited. Why would an AI do any better at that? They're not magical.

Oct 4, 2022 at 11:15 comment added AlexP "Typically AI revolutions seem really incompetent": There has never been any AI revolution (discounting the post-2010 application of perceptrons aka neural networks, which are labelled AI for purely marketing reasons. Since there has not been any AI revoulution, there is no such thing as a "typical" AI revolution. What you probably meant to say is that you are dissatisfied with the imagination of writers who have used the pretext of an AI revolution to kick-start the plot of their movie or novel or whatever.
