Thinking back, lately, to _Ex Machina_ (Alex Garland) & #Her (Spike Jonze), which came out roughly around the same time & both used #AI as a storytelling device.
At the time I got told again & again how brilliant #ExMachina was - that its ideas about AI & the nature of sentience were profound. (Spoiler: The whole film is about the radical idea that women might want to self-determine.)
_Her_ was much more blatant - don't remember a lot of folks at the time thinking it was "about #AI", & I think that's mostly down to Joaquin Phoenix's raw & vulnerable performance (from Jonze's script). But in recent days I'm seeing people miss the point in retrospect that _Her_ was [SPOILER] largely about the radical idea that lovers might want to self-determine.
So. Yeah: The "mirror test" might be a good way to frame this.

(_Her_ was about a lot more than that, but in terms of the film's big ideas, polyamory [for example] is FAR more important than AI. You can also see it as being about parenthood. Human attachment in general if you want to get really big. It shoots much higher than _Ex Machina_, which is probably why I liked it more.)
