A couple of not so great and yet thought provoking movies have been made in the past few years that feature AIs as the next step in the evolution of man. It is the extinction of humans as biological organisms, and the continuation of their legacy as machines. I can't remember the names of those movies, even though I saw them fairly recently. One scene sticks in my mind, in which an AI is asking a man why he is crying. The man has come to the realization that humans are on the verge of extinction, and that there won't be another generation of humans. But the AIs are far more adaptable and are going to thrive. It was a very memorable scene, even though the story itself was a blatant retelling of the exodus from Egypt with the AIs being the Israelites.
Sounds like the movie Automata starring Antonio Banderas.
That's the one! Thank you. Funny, I didn't remember that the actor was Antonio Bandaras at all.
