Decided to rewatch it because of this post... definitely don't regret it.
Yeah Blade Runner had the audience asking if Deckard was a replicant or not. Now we're left wondering if Joi is just a large language model or not.
Also nuking Las Vegas was a good bit
I really liked the Joi character. Is she a person? Is she a an LLM? The character does everything you'd expect the female lead in an action movie to do, and then the movie throws a kind of meta-question about the "realness" of that character.
I read Joi as a sentient person, being an extension of the replicants being meat robot people to Joi and equivalent Ais being digital people fulfilling the role replicants played for humans for replicants. Sort of kicking the ball down the line. Two robot people striving to be people together, with ambiguity around their respective "realness". I thought it was all very smart and slick.
