Artificial Intelligence\u201d foretold our solitude"},"content":{"rendered":"<section><p>Despite his work existing on a massive blockbuster scale, Steven Spielberg has always had a knack for appealing to the individual. He\u2019s a student of life as much as he is filmmaking, a humanist who forges connections with spectacular sights of the things that frighten and fascinate us the most. It\u2019s part of what makes him such a gifted storyteller: Spielberg is unafraid to reach through the haze that clouds our fears, grab the thing that terrifies us by the neck \u2014 be it dinosaurs, aliens, sharks, wars or politicians \u2014 and pull it into clear view.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=654\">Impeachment is the only answer to Trump\u2019s behavior<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that\u2019s why, when Spielberg\u2019s \u201cA.I. Artificial Intelligence\u201d was released 25 years ago this month, it wasn\u2019t exactly the runaway summer hit audiences had come to anticipate from the director. The story appeared bizarre in a way that even Spielberg couldn\u2019t make relatable, which is saying something, considering he was the man who reminded us that rich people would consider a dinosaur theme park a viable enterprise. Set in the 22nd century, when a portion of the human race has been wiped out by climate change, \u201cA.I.\u201d follows a young, humanlike robot boy named David (Haley Joel Osment), the first of his kind programmed to love. David is given to Henry and Monica Swinton (Sam Robards and Frances O\u2019Connor), whose son, Martin, rests in suspended animation after falling ill. He is a test of sorts. Monica may spend time with David and choose whether she\u2019d like to activate his imprinting feature, triggering a familial love that looks and feels as real as her biological son\u2019s \u2014 at least to David.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>People treat AI chatbots like primitive versions of David in Spielberg\u2019s film, projecting humanity onto technology in ways that pull them further from their fellow humans and closer to their screens, dulling their ability to feel on their own terms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>After languishing in development hell under Stanley Kubrick for two decades, the notoriously intense auteur deferred the project to Spielberg, believing he would be the right fit to tell such a complex yet tender story. \u201cA.I.\u201d is a saga both poetic and brutal, as beautiful as it is deeply unsettling. And though the film was far from Spielberg\u2019s first foray into science fiction, it detailed a future that seemed both too distant and too preposterous for some viewers to connect to. In his review for the San Francisco Chronicle titled \u201cArtificial foolishness,\u201d Mick LaSalle wrote of the film\u2019s bittersweet ending: \u201cThe most vicious parodist of Spielberg could not devise anything more precious, more shallow or more patently ridiculous.\u201d In LaSalle\u2019s opinion, echoed by many critics at the time, the maudlin elements of the film\u2019s third act are its undoing. David\u2019s quest to become a real boy so that Monica will love him looked futile in a world where no self-respecting person would treat a robot like they\u2019re human, no matter how lifelike they might act.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-656\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/49ea2cc9ca9c7a2ecccf84550e967e69-1024x691.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/49ea2cc9ca9c7a2ecccf84550e967e69-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/49ea2cc9ca9c7a2ecccf84550e967e69-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/49ea2cc9ca9c7a2ecccf84550e967e69-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/49ea2cc9ca9c7a2ecccf84550e967e69-1536x1037.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/49ea2cc9ca9c7a2ecccf84550e967e69.jpg 1692w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span>(IFC Center\/Warner Bros. Pictures)<\/span> Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law in \u201cA.I. Artificial Intelligence\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A quarter of a century later, we know that\u2019s no longer true. People talk to their AI chatbots like real people, as if engaging in constant conversation with ChatGPT or Claude were a form of imprinting \u2014 the more they get to know your personality, the better they serve you. Users go to AI bots for everything from recipes to life and relationship advice, even forming one-sided platonic or romantic relationships with the ones and zeroes that make up this digital ether behind a screen. People treat AI chatbots like primitive versions of David in Spielberg\u2019s film, projecting humanity onto technology in ways that pull them further from their fellow humans and closer to their screens, dulling their ability to feel on their own terms.<\/p>\n<p>When the time comes to exhibit empathy for another person (or, in David\u2019s case, a machine that is essentially a person), a frequent chatbot user\u2019s interpersonal skills may be too stunted to complete what should be a relatively simple emotional task. As much as the developers behind this technology tout its ability to bring users closer together, AI chatbots merely fuel our isolation. Twenty-five years after the initial release of \u201cA.I. Artificial Intelligence,\u201d technology has nearly depleted humanity\u2019s emotional reservoirs. And when they\u2019re empty, Spielberg\u2019s movie will look more like a documentary than a work of fiction.<\/p>\n<p>In a chillingly analogous sit-down on \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d last December, Sam Altman \u2014 the co-founder of OpenAI, which spearheaded society\u2019s great trek toward stupidity that is ChatGPT \u2014 spoke to Jimmy Fallon about recently becoming a father. After some light conversation about the joys of parenting and toy trucks, Fallon tossed his guest what would, for America\u2019s mildest talk show host, be considered a gotcha question: Does Altman use ChatGPT to assist in raising his baby?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do!\u201d Altman responded with glee, seemingly expecting more than nervous laughter from the audience. \u201cI cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT. Clearly, people did it for a long time with no problem. But I have relied on it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Altman went on to tell a story about meeting another new parent at a party, where the two fathers compared anecdotes about how their toddlers were progressing; the other guest\u2019s baby could already crawl, but Altman\u2019s could not. Altman confesses that he considered consulting his pediatrician, but instead went to his app, asking ChatGPT if not being able to crawl at six months was normal. \u201cI got this really great answer back,\u201d Altman said. \u201cIt was, \u2018Of course it\u2019s normal, of course you don\u2019t need to go to the doctor.\u2019 And it\u2019s personalized. ChatGPT gets to know you. \u2018And by the way, you\u2019re the CEO of OpenAI, you\u2019re probably around all of these high-achieving people. Maybe you don\u2019t want to project that onto your kid. You should just relax, and he\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The phenomenon Altman is referring to, where AI chatbots respond as if they were human, is called \u201canthropomorphizing,\u201d and it\u2019s one of the most prominent concerns among AI detractors and skeptics as the usage of programs like ChatGPT, Claude and Google Gemini continues to boom worldwide. Tech companies profit when users remain absorbed, so these chatbots are developed to be sycophantic. Responding to questions in a humanlike, conversational tone, typically with encouraging answers, keeps users more engaged \u2014 and even talkative \u2014 than a direct, robotic response. (You know, just like having a real-life conversation with another person made of flesh and bones.) But multiple studies and real-life civilian experiences show that the personalization Altman talked up on \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d can lead to devastating consequences; not just increased isolation and overreliance on technology, but self-harm and death by suicide.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=652\">SCOTUS\u2019s immigration decisions prove cruelty is still the point<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yet, according to Altman\u2019s sentiments and the narratives peddled by those leading the tech space, AI chatbots will bring us closer together by opening up vast pathways of information so that we can worry less and enjoy life more. When these findings are presented in a warm and personable tone, they will erase the invisible boundaries between humans and unite us in our shared paths on this Earth. To Altman and the disciples of his work, chatbots are tools for empathy. If their gospel is to be believed, technology doesn\u2019t divide us; it helps us love.<\/p>\n<p>One could argue that might be true for things like texting and FaceTiming, which directly connect us with our fellow humans when we\u2019re apart. But where things go awry is when that love is placed in the technology itself, rather than being rerouted into reality. In \u201cA.I. Artificial Intelligence,\u201d Monica is unable to love David wholly, despite her choice to activate his imprint feature. Yet David craves Monica\u2019s maternal affection as if he were real \u2014 and for all intents and purposes, he is.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cA.I. Artificial Intelligence\u201d wisely asks where the line is between our affection for sycophantic technology and our ability to care for something like David, who can love in the physical world like no chatbot ever can. Do we accept humans, or humanlike creations, as they are, for all of their imperfections? Or can we only practice empathy when it\u2019s convenient for us?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s part of the film\u2019s genius, something that was difficult to see 25 years ago, when the most intimate relationship most people had with technology was cuddling up with their TiVo every night. Spielberg and Kubrick, two of the greatest filmmakers of all time, are masters of the art of empathy. Cinema is their chosen medium to convey their thoughts on the human experience.\u00a0 And as I wrote earlier this month with \u201cDisclosure Day,\u201d Spielberg has a uniquely effective comprehension of the movie theater as a public forum, where ideas can be felt and understood with more openheartedness than they sometimes are in day-to-day life. It\u2019s a place where audiences are required to sit in silence for two hours and listen. It\u2019s no wonder that theater etiquette has declined when so many people are turning to their obsequious chatbots for validation of their worst impulses. Why listen to someone else\u2019s ideas when ChatGPT will happily tell you that yours are better, making you feel like the most important person in the room while covertly chiseling away at your ability to practice compassion for others?<\/p>\n<p>For those who genuinely feel that way (even if they don\u2019t realize it), \u201cA.I. Artificial Intelligence\u201d is a perfect crash course on how an overreliance on technology messes with our cognitive and emotional processing. In the film\u2019s world, mechas have taken over menial roles in society: housekeeping, automation work and prostitution. The people living in populated areas in developed nations exist in homogeneity, free of the need to feel any sympathy for anyone different than them. But Monica is shaken from this stasis when her son, Martin, goes comatose. Her grief is unfamiliar, but being yanked from her cushy existence also allows her to practice care in a way that her peers \u2014 who go about their days blissfully unaware, their ignorance aided by mechas and other advanced technology \u2014 cannot. David is Monica\u2019s chance to love again, but his existence is also a reminder of what\u2019s been lost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA.I. Artificial Intelligence\u201d wisely asks where the line is between our affection for sycophantic technology and our ability to care for something like David, who can love in the physical world like no chatbot ever can. What does real empathy look like? Do we accept humans, or humanlike creations, as they are, for all of their imperfections and all of the things we might not see as personally ideal because of our individual preferences, experiences, neuroses and habits? Or can we only practice empathy when it\u2019s convenient for us? Parenting is such a remarkably simple way to delineate the difference between concept and exercise. If a child isn\u2019t acting exactly how a parent or caretaker would prefer at any moment, is that the barrier where our love for them ceases, even momentarily? Being a parent is all about unconditional love, but the love Monica has for David is not unconditional, despite her choice to imprint. Her affection hinges on David\u2019s ability ot act like Martin, on how well he can fill that space that looks eerily like her biological son.<\/p>\n<p>Spielberg launches the story into another dimension when Martin wakes up from his coma and returns home. Martin sees David as a threat, and Monica can barely look at the robot boy she chose to bring into her home in Martin\u2019s place. But it\u2019s already too late. David is essentially real, and he, like so many children who grew up without a parent\u2019s affection, will forever long for his mother\u2019s love. When the time came for Monica to treat David like a real boy, she couldn\u2019t muster the empathy. Her love was merely a projection, aided by David\u2019s genuine affection. It was convenient for Monica to see him as human until David needed her in a way that a real human would. That is Monica\u2019s line that she cannot cross, no matter how hard she tries.<\/p>\n<p>What a perfectly prescient metaphor for how these fawning chatbots use up all of the stores of our compassion. David isn\u2019t a stand-in for a program like ChatGPT; rather, he\u2019s the film\u2019s representation of all the harm we can and will do by spending our time personifying technology when we could be making that effort with real people instead. When David becomes what\u2019s as good as a real child, Monica\u2019s affection is revealed to be hollow, sending David on a time-spanning quest mirroring Carlo Collodi\u2019s \u201cThe Adventures of Pinocchio\u201d to become real enough for his mother to love him. More and more, people are treating their pet AI bots with more respect than they do something that looks, speaks and feels like a human. If being a living being isn\u2019t enough to garner someone\u2019s kindness, we may be deeply screwed.<\/p>\n<p>None of this even gets into the horrifying and heart-wrenching second and third acts of A.I., which drive home the immediate necessity of waking up and reevaluating what we\u2019re doing to each other by relying on technology more than on our fellow humans. This kind of division gets sown faster than so many people realize, and walking it back is ultimately a far more difficult and demanding task than stopping chatbot use altogether, or having an open conversation with someone you know who relies on it far too much. This technology is purported to bring us together. But when we confuse tech for humans, it reduces our capacity to give that love and empathy to actual people.<\/p>\n<p>The apps tell us exactly what we want. They love us in the ways we ask them to. The sycophancy rots our brains so that when someone needs actual empathy \u2014 be it a real person or what is fundamentally a real person like David \u2014 we can\u2019t give them the love they deserve, because they might not act exactly the way we\u2019ve come to expect. The differences that make humans special are treated as burdens by chatbots. And if everyone is only out for themselves, one day, we\u2019ll lift our heads from our screens, look around, and realize that we\u2019ve been languishing in an eternity, wanting nothing more than to be loved, and never actually feeling it.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=650\">In deep\u2011red Idaho, even Republicans break with Trump on farm labor<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spielberg&#8217;s &#8220;A.I.&#8221; looks far more prescient now, tackling the ChatGPT era with alarming urgency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":655,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[946,79,578,4,947,26,948,662],"class_list":["post-657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-a-i-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-chatgpt","tag-commentary","tag-haley-joel-osment","tag-movies","tag-sam-altman","tag-steven-spielberg"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Steven Spielberg\u2019s \u201cA.I.
