Yeah, Her is the exception. Frankly, when I saw it in the cinemas I hated it precisely because I thought the premise was completely absurd [1]. I used to joke about it- come on, these people have an AGI in their phones and yet people still have a job? How's that possible? I couldn't imagine that it would be a consumer tech before being a business one (and a scientific/ military one before that).
