I want to watch it, but at the same time, it’s basically going to be an advert for Google. I’m not sure if I can put up with the uncritical fluff.

I would love to see a real (ie outsider) filmmaker do this - eg an updated ‘Lo and behold’ by Werner Herzog

It was directed by Greg Kohs, who is a real filmmaker and does not work for Google.

Yeah I don’t mean to say they’re not a real filmmaker or untalented etc, I mean more the context they’re doing it. That they’ve chosen to cover this topic themselves, and that they would show critical angles of it and not just promo + hagiography

Are you saying this movie production wasn't paid for by Google? If it was, surely he did?

Like 99.99% probability, sure. Greg's previous big feature was on Deepmind's AlphaGo, three years after its Google acquisition.

It's an advert for Demis Hassabis, not Google.
