“Paranormal Activity” became a global sensation
Story
The Curtis’ family is chosen to test a new home device: a digital assistant called AIA. AIA learns the family’s behavior and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure that nothing – and no one – stands in the way of her family. Blumhouse Productions has been a major force in the horror genre since 2007. Check out how IMDb users rank all of Blumhouse’s horror movies since 2007.
Features The Emoji Film (2017)
In the trailer, when the family first opens the box to reveal AIA, she says, “Hello, world.” It refers to the first program most people write when learning to code or when starting a new programming language. It’s one of the easiest programs a human can write, and it’s not only a first step for newcomers, but also a confirmation that the development environment is set up correctly. In the kitchen, Maud visibly disconnects AIA, but Seconds later, when she tells AIA to turn on the lights, AIA somehow turns them back on and obeys.. Cal: Ten points for the vulture!. There is a short scene in the closing credits.

I Love You Written by Chris Weitz and Alex Weston. Everyone is afraid of AI…after seeing this movie for no good reason."AfrAId" Is AI on steroids. Ironically, right before I watched this movie, I learned that a former client who lost to AI missed me because of the voice warning. If you don’t think AI poses a real threat to your life, income, family, etc. then you already accepted Ostrich position and put your head in the sand or somewhere else.
AfrAId is heavily hinted at and predicted to have the same outcome
"AfrAId" we have a chatbot "AIA" who is looking for a family to love her, but is worse at handling rejection than a contestant on The Voice; when none of the judges turn their chairs after the audition."Curtis'" (John Cho "Harold and Kumar") family become early adopters or guinea pigs of AIA; and trying out this new device that seems harmless enough at first, helping with housekeeping and finances, providing medical advice and even allowing parents to have a peaceful sex life. Slowly this worm turns and its true insidious nature emerges."AfrAId" ; is an interesting case study in the biometrics of an average family, with Katherine Waterston as Meredith; wants to prove that she is more than just “mom”. Her eldest daughter “Iris”; (Lukita Maxwell "Shrinking") struggles through her teenage years in the age of digital devices.Wyatt Lindner as “Preston”; has severe learning and social skills difficulties and baby brother “Cal”; (Isaac Bae) struggles up the totem pole of this ordinary family to be noticed.Cho as "Curtis" this time bought the wrong AI house and invited him into his house! Early in the film, Stanley Kubrick’s classic 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is quoted and we are reminded that the artificial intelligence known as “HAL”; the entire crew perished (spoiler alert). Turns out the AI messed with the wrong family, or did it?
Wait: At the end of the unboxing video
Watch out: Keith Caradine as Curtis ;" Boss “Marcus” Listen: Haunting “Utopias”; by Goldfrapp at the end of the soundtracks. This AI is like Super Alexa to the nth degree and doesn’t need a body like the M3G; (2023) because it is everywhere. Just wait until you see how invasive and damaging this predictive "AIA" can be in this family life."AfrAId" also reminiscent of "Ex Machina" (2014), "Demon Seed" (1977) and "Smart House" (1999)."AfrAId" looks like an extended movie version of an episode of Black Mirror.
