I don’t usually complain about movies but rebirth was pretty bad. I can’t think of a single role that was cast well. The convenience store scene was the kitchen scene in the first one all over again, the ventilation shaft scene was right out of alien, and the big bad dinosaur was a rancor from Jedi crossed with that dragon from Willow. The random family thrown in the mix randomly was so tedious I was actually rooting for the two daughters to get eaten so there would be a reason for the R rating. Not a fan.
I gave it more thought in passing and am a bit curious what real, heavy ML might look like. And if there's value in such things.
Example: I often find myself remembering bits of things, and querying Google, and the results are way off or completely irrelevent. Things a human would know in a matter of seconds, generally.
I was for example trying to remember that newish Netflix movie that is very similar to the Michael Douglas movie "The Game." It feels like such a question should be easy for a sufficiently smart system. Something like Watson, I guess?, at the search engine level would be immensely mindblowing to me.
The answer btw for anyone curious was "Rebirth." Nearly every review of said movie makes the comparison.

This is where semantic data would be really handy (admittedly, it's not a great example because the two movies are not linked at the moment):
