Are We Getting the Main Point of this Thriller Wrong?

In the few pieces I've read about this thriller, the main plot seems to focus on a woman trying to save her child when confronted with an apocalyptic event. Granted, that is what we see on the screen.

But could we be getting the main plot wrong? I believe so. This is some really narly creative writing.

Not a day goes by that I don't read an article or headline, or hear a podcast about the upcoming world we live in with AI. We definitely are living in the age of the AI dominance race. There seem to be two messages. One, that AI will dominate the human landscape when it comes to jobs. Second, that AI can't replace humans because of our emotional intelligence and ability to connect.

But what if AI could be taught emotional intelligence and the ability to connect at a human level?

I think what we're seeing on the screen in this movie is an AI simulation performed over and over again so AI can learn and develop a strong emotional connection. I say this as we kept seeing scenes done over and over again, and notice how they kept focusing on her shirt with the number increasing. What a brilliant storyline and commentary on the question as to whether AI can truly replace human beings.

Loved the special effects, and loved Kim Da Mi. What a grueling role she had to play, but as usual, she was superb.
