    I saw a pretty good short sci-fi film a year or so ago about a woman accidentally finding out that she’s a bot.

            I would argue he humanity lasts much longer, only losing it after a lot of generational drift.

              I’m not denying that, but the comment above is talking about a story about a woman discovering she’s a bot,.

                As does Bob. I’m not sure what the specific point you are trying to make here. Do you want longer before the twist is revealed? Because this conversation already let that cat out of the bag.

          That’s a good book, not terribly deep but very much fun to read. I’m sure bots thinking they are human has been done several times. First show that comes to mind is Westworld, which is kind of centered around that idea.

            Only the more recent TV show. The original westworld film was more like Terminator.

            I would pick blade runner as the classic bot / human confusion.

        I wish I could remember. It was definitely on YT. I think it was in German with subtitles. It wasn’t long. Possibly was someone’s film school project.
