Will Smith and Bridget Moynahan in âI, Robotâ
(20th Century Studios)
Directed by Alex Proyas and starring Smith, Bridget Moynahan, Alan Tudyk and Bruce Greenwood, the movie is set in 2035 amid a world filled with highly intelligent robots in public service positions designed to keep humans safe. However, after the death of the companyâs founder, itâs suspected that he was actually murdered by one of the robots.
Smith plays a robo-skeptic detective investigating the murder.
âDuring the whole Tesla event all I could think about is I, Robot! Everything Tesla announced is almost identical to the movie,â one person tweeted.
âGrowing up on I, Robot, makes today hit different,â a second said, with a third writing: âIdk. This is 40% cool, 60% slightly terrifying. 100% straight from the movie I, Robot.â
âMan yaâll ainât watch I, Robot??? Literally unfolding right before our eyes,â a fourth noted, while someone added: âAfter seeing what Musk revealed last night I think itâs clear heâs seen I, Robot too many times.â
Many others expressed their fear about what the robots would mean for the future of human-run industries.
âAnyone else wondering how our job landscape will look with Optimus rolling around?â one questioned, with another adding: âSo what happens to the workers that this thing displaces?â
