Well, Wifelike looks as sketchy as Hell:
More from Coming Soon: “A grieving detective in the near-future hunts down criminals who trade artificial humans on the black market,” reads the film’s synopsis. “In the fight to end AI exploitation, an underground resistance attempts to infiltrate him by sabotaging the programming of the artificial human assigned as his companion to behave like his late wife. She begins to question her reality as memories of a past life begin to surface in a world where nothing is as it seems.”
I’m not saying it can’t be a good movie, mind you. Just that the premise is off-putting. You make something sapient, you better have the citizenship papers signed and notarized when it opens its eyes for the first time. I mean, crap, we fought a war over the issue – and my side won. If this guy is the protagonist, he better get his head right, right away…
So, basically, the guy bought a really advanced sex doll. Because that’s essentially what she is. And somebody messed up the code. Which means she is probably going to say things like “are you going to wear that?” and “If you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you,” before adding a little Drano to his coffee.
Worse, she’ll get headaches.
An advanced sex doll that gets headaches. I think we just fixed the movie.
