Does The Matrix still influence how you think about AI? Help with thesis research! (5-7 min survey)

Question

Hey r/movies!

Quick question: When you think about artificial intelligence, do images from The Matrix (or other sci-fi) pop into your head?

I'm researching exactly this for my MA thesis at NYFA—how dystopian sci-fi shapes our real-world tech attitudes. Whether you're a hardcore Matrix fan or barely remember it, your perspective matters!

The survey takes 5-7 minutes and covers:

  • Your sci-fi watching habits
  • How you feel about AI, VR, and tech companies
  • Whether films influence your tech opinions

Completely anonymous. No tech knowledge needed. Just honest opinions about movies and technology.

Bonus: If you're interested in a deeper conversation about this topic, there's an option to volunteer for a 20-min follow-up interview at the end!

Thanks in advance—your input genuinely helps! 🎥🤖
