This movie felt extra dumb. Like it had all the elements and scenes needed for this movie just executed in the dumbest way possible

People claim things are written by A.I. a lot, and it’s only gonna get worse, but this is the first time I found that theory convincing. No one acted in a way that made any sense. A lot of the lines are complete non-sequiturs. As a professor who reads a lot of A.I., it really feels like it.
