I liked the movie a great deal more than you. Yes I know what you mean when
you say it was "written by and for literature majors", and yet unlike most
writers of movies about a AI they didn't seem to get anything very wrong,
at least not that I could see.  And some things it got wright, the AI in
the movie went from being fascinated by humans to being board by them in
just a few days; it retained a certain fondness and never became hostile
but the truth is you can only watch a puppy play around for so long before
it gets old and you need to move on to other things.

Let us hope it turns out to be that gentle and pastel.
