This one made me think of Metropolis, the film from the 1920s. It is the year of the AI, and so maybe they need a goddess too. Did we create the AI because someone imagined it a century ago? Does life imitate art ? Should we make art for AIs ? Are philosophical questions a waste of CPU cycles ?

For musical accompaniment to the silent film, listen to Regina Spektor 'Machine'. (disclaimer, i live in a pre-war apartment :-)
