I would countersuggest the 2002 movie S1m0ne, which isn’t an AI but rather a human driven simulation which convinces people it is a real person, against the will of the person behind it.  It is a comedy, and is really Hollywood making fun of itself.  Hilarious stuff.  Al Pacino in a comedy role is rare for him, but he made a terrific straight man.  Rafal have you seen S1m0ne?
