Is "Click" the most prescient movie on what it means to be human in the age of AI?

What about Dark Star? Humans strapped to an AI bomb that they have to persuade not to kill them all.

"Let there be light".

I encourage those who have never heard of it to at least look it up and know it was John Carpenter's first movie.

Long before this AI hoopla, this has been one of my favorite lines. Short, simple and terrifying:

    Talk to the bomb.

Someone quoted Idiocracy here the other day. "But it's hot electrolytes!"

Possibly! But I vote The Creator.

La Bete (The Beast) by Bertrand Bonello was also quite on point I thought.
