Hulu's new horror movie about an AI companion gets chatbots uncomfortably right
Hulu’s Soulm8te follows David (David Rysdahl), who starts using an AI chatbot after his wife’s death. When his company introduces him to a physical companion robot designed to house the program, he signs up to test it. David eventually gives the android stronger emotional capabilities, hoping to make their connection feel more human. But as it becomes increasingly independent, he discovers that his ideal companion might not be so easy to live with.
