Like, I could be misremembering, but in the stadium scene, the crowd only turns against the idea of destroying him when he starts showing shockingly realistic child-like fear and emotion, thus causing them to think he's a real child.


I was going to bring that exact scene up yeah. To me that implies that there probably were robots that looked like children at a basic level.

how is that different from "it's not plausible that nobody would have thought to make childlike AI"?


The movie establishes that he's special

Hyperspeed ramming is only special to the audience because "wow that looks cool." There's actually no elaboration or anything in the plot for why that's not more often done, why it can be done while normal hyperspeed must have some sort of intangibility aspect or something otherwise space debris would be killing everyone making jumps.

The difference is you have to jump through the hoops as a viewer to rationalize hyperspeed ramming-- AI gives you the hoops to jump through to accept that this situation is the state of androids in the world, but guffguy doesn't want to jump through them. That's ultimately on him, not the movie.
