Anyone else completely misread 'The Stepford Wives' (1975) for decades?! 🤯🎬

So, I watched the original Stepford Wives again last night. I've seen it a few times over the decades, but last night was the first time the actual "robot" concept fully connected for me!

Before this, I always just thought the wives were heavily brainwashed or psychologically altered. But watching it through today's AI lens, it hit me—they were literally being replaced by cold, compliant animatronics. 😱

It's wild how looking at an old film with today's tech mindset completely changes the perspective. Instead of making technology warm, creative, and collaborative like we aim to do now, the horror back in 1975 was taking vibrant human energy and replacing it with something mechanical.

How have classic films like this shaped your own views on AI or emerging technology? Do you think these early cinematic warnings influenced how we approach tech collaboration today?
