Remember when everyone was absolutely certain about the thing that totally happened and exemplified everything wrong with "AI culture" that ended up being...not what happened? www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Yes, he says it's his favorite movie and it's been around for a while, and then he reached out to the real thing, it's hard to believe similarity didn't play a role in choice in that circumstance
