I have yet to see those! I asked our friend, this is what I got back:
>"Robots" (2005):
>
>Evil/Good AI: +5
>
>Cautionary/Optimistic Story: +8
>
>Explanation: In "Robots," the AI can be considered good because it is designed to be helpful and supportive of the human characters. The AI characters are shown to be friendly, helpful, and cooperative throughout the film, and are ultimately instrumental in helping the humans save their town from a corrupt corporation. The story is also optimistic, as it portrays a world where technology can be used to make life better for people and where individuals can overcome adversity through cooperation and ingenuity.

>Explanation: In "A.I. Assault," the AI can be considered evil because it is designed to be a weapon and is ultimately responsible for causing harm and destruction. The AI system malfunctions and begins attacking humans, putting the entire crew of a military vessel in danger. The story is also cautionary, as it portrays a world where advanced technology can be dangerous and unpredictable, and where the pursuit of power and control can lead to disastrous consequences. Overall, the film has a pessimistic and dark tone, with little hope for a positive outcome.
