As if that weren’t enough to draw viewers to the box office, the movie is receiving rave reviews, proving that it more than lives up to its memeable hype. Keep reading to see what Allison says are M3GAN’s redeeming qualities, what she learned about AI while prepping for this role, and who would win in a three-way battle of the evilest dolls: Chucky, Annabelle, or M3GAN. The other thing I learned is the ethics conversation around AI. It’s much deeper and prevalent in the AI community, I would say. One of the things they talk about a lot, that the rest of us don’t really, is what is our responsibility to anything that we create that has artificial intelligence, rather than what is their responsibility to serve us? What is our responsibility having brought them online? Anything that risks sentience, or self-awareness, that is something that people [in the AI community] think and talk about a lot, which is an idea that kind of makes my brain hurt, but it’s one that we should all think about." And then just all of the iterations of M3GAN’s dance have been hilarious. The flip is so challenging, and people have gotten around it in ways that have made me laugh so, so hard. Mostly it’s like very clumsy cartwheels or just some kind of like rolling like a bug on the ground. Either way, no matter how you do it, it’s funny to me."
