Documentary Critiques Generative AI's Hype And Shortcomings

Charles Pulliam-Moore reviews The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, a documentary by Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell that opens March 27. The film features interviews with researchers, executives and critics including Sam Altman, Tristan Harris and Daniela Amodei, but the reviewer says it favors hyperbolic doomsday and utopian claims and offers limited technical or industry analysis.
