I actually liked the movie quite a bit. The antagonist follows a really weird and bad strategy for the sake of creating an action movie (a much subtler take-over of humanity would have made far more sense). But I think it’s a decent stab at Friendly AI difficulty, in a way the general public can understand—you can give a machine several rules that theoretically make it perfectly safe for humans, but those rules can still have ramifications you didn’t expect, leading to actions you wouldn’t have wanted.
Agreed that if it wasn’t called “I, Robot” it would have been “better.”
