👀 The Movie "Her": Is the Future Already Here?

Spike Jonze's sci-fi drama "Her," where Joaquin Phoenix's character has an affair with an artificial intelligence-based operating system with Scarlett Johansson's voice, came out in 2013 and is set in 2025.

So the future has already arrived! Did the film director's predictions come true?

➡️ About 1 billion people use AI-powered chatbots. About 50% do so for flirting. Some people are already marrying AI partners.

➡️ Joaquin Phoenix's character interacts with AI through a small camera-powered wearable. Such devices are already available, and this market is expanding fast. For example, the Friend pendant or Casio's "AI pet" that has emotions and can bond with its owner.

➡️ AI companions can communicate by voice in different languages, message or call the users themselves, and send them links to interesting articles. Systems with empathy are emerging, too, with the ability to remember conversations and make jokes.

➡️ Today, you can talk to almost any celebrity bot or create an AI friend through the Character AI app. The company Replika AI also allows you to "communicate" with digital copies of deceased loved ones.

The creators of the most successful chatbots—Anthropic, OpenAI, Perplexity, and others—are launching autonomous AI agents capable of performing complex tasks independently.

And it's not only AI companions that have already become a reality but also other movie plots that seemed science fiction 20-30 years ago ⤴️
