Watching it right now. Looks like transhumanist propaganda meant to soften us up for the singularity.

Attributing human intelligence and emotions to nonhuman entities is called anthropomorphism.

The beginning may make it seem that way. But I think it’s more about telling the story of the life’s work of many, who naturally become emotionally involved in the trials and tribulations.

…and people have been treating beloved machines like, well, people for millennia. Why else were ancient sailing ships referred to as “she”. It’s even common for people to give their cars names, like some pet.
