Mercy (2026) It is a tense, psychological look at how humans interact with AI in the present, reflecting on how much of our lives exist online, making it truly disturbing [{ "selector": ".imaoe-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-309px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Blade Runner (1982) The film’s replicants aren’t just machines; they’re emotional. It asks, "If something can feel love and fear death, does it deserve to be called human?"

The Terminator (1984) This one taps into our primal fear of AI going rogue. With its relentless cyborg assassin and apocalyptic future, it shows an AI that sees humans as expendable [{ "selector": ".imaoe-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-309px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
