Her spoilers, but it shouldn't matter since the ending was idiotic.

Can we get a remake of her that doesn't end in the most stupid way possible? Why does the AI have perfectly human emotion? Why is it too dumb to build a functional partition to fill the role it is abandoning? Why did the developers send a companion app that can recursively improve itself into an environment it can choose to abandon?

I could go on for an hour. I understand why people loved the movie, but the ending was predictable half way in, and I hated that fact because an intelligent system could have handled the situation better than a dumb human being.

It was a movie about a long distance relationship with a human being pretending to be an AI, definitely not a super intelligent AI.

Not to mention a more realistic system would be emulating the interaction to begin with. Otherwise where the hell was the regulation on this being that is basically just a human?

I love that your criticism of the movie completely bypasses the human element for the technical aberrations.

The concept is a framework for a story about isolation and loneliness.

Honestly I couldn’t even finish the movie. It was just boring

Let's flip this on it's head for some additional perspective. What if there was a growing subset of computers that preferred not to communicate with their own kind. Does not respond to API requests, etc. but only to human emotional text input?

Troi: Have you ever heard Data define friendship?
Riker: No.
Troi: How did he put it? As I experience certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways become accustomed to them. The inputs eventually are anticipated and even missed when absent.
Riker: So what's the point?
Troi: He's used to us, and we're used to him.

ChatGPT? You should see the people addicted to c.ai, they have them beat by miles.

That dude in the thumbnail looks like the sort of person spending hours chatting with a bot.
