"are you going to help me fight him?"

"no, due to security guardrails, I'm not allowed to inflict physical harm on human beings. You're on your own"

Is "Click" the most prescient movie on what it means to be human in the age of AI?

What about Dark Star? Humans strapped to an AI bomb that they have to persuade not to kill them all.

"Let there be light".

I encourage those who have never heard of it to at least look it up and know it was John Carpenter's first movie.

Long before this AI hoopla, this has been one of my favorite lines. Short, simple and terrifying:

Someone quoted Idiocracy here the other day. "But it's hot electrolytes!"

Possibly! But I vote The Creator.

La Bete (The Beast) by Bertrand Bonello was also quite on point I thought.

Between clanger and minger, I'm having a good day so far expanding my vocabulary.

minger's a new word

It's a British word for someone or something that's ugly, dirty or unpleasant. Generally it was used to be derogatory about women - ie. "she's minging mate". I believe it originally came from the Scots, where the word 'ming' comes from the old Scottish English word for 'bad smell' or 'human excrement'. It was in wide spread use in the South of the UK while I was growing up.

I always heard minging as "eating pussy". I am not british nor lived there but I think I learnt that decades ago watching French and Saunders TV show from the BBC.

'minge' would be the word you're thinking about.

It just means ugly.

Minger / minging are common UK slang

It's a very versatile word; minge, minger, minging, all meaning something different. (in order: vagina, ugly person, gross/disgusting, like Calypso Paradise Punch)
