I found it very not worth watching. It seemed just Deepmind PR. Very little substance, it was just soap opera grade material.

If a person likes soap operas, they could enjoy the movie.

Only on HN will you see a recounting of a massive achievement of humankind dismissed offhandedly like this.

I'd say Zero Dark Thirty was a bad movie about a major and important event.

Calling a movie bad doesn't diminish the original event. It just criticizes the movie itself.

I'm not dismissing an achievement of humankind. I'm dismissing the PR piece they put out about it.

Do you struggle to see the distinction?

I’ve seen it twice. It was great. It is a documentary

Sure, I’d like it if they discussed the algorithm and the code but you need to entertain a regular audience.

Same, I've seen it twice. It's all about that moment when they realize that "mistake" and then, it's a "God" move, and they can't believe it. History was made in that moment. They realized computers can have intuition and think like they do.

I started showing people ChatGPT when it first came out, they shrugged, they didn't get it. Most people still don't get how important generative AI is and will be. Eventually, they'll have that moment too.

I'm extremely glad they didn't, it was perfect the way it was. That topic absolutely demanded a humanistic presentation. It's a tragedy in subject matter and tone, not a film meant to educate the viewers about the ins and outs of how AI works. There are plenty of resources for that elsewhere, the team behind this movie did the right thing to treat it with appropriate weight and not try to drown that all out with technobabble.
