AI has become inescapable these days, with every app, search engine, and internet browser overloading us with pop-ups of why their new AI enhancement/assistant/plagiarism machine is something we just can't live without.

Fun movie? Galaxy Quest?
Hit the pause button and take a good look at the ad hoc special ops team towards the end of the trailer, when the Man from the Future tells them, “I’m not gonna sugar coat it. You’re in for a really weird night.”

Anyway, I didn’t like it very much.
