I wouldn't characterize "Her" as dystopian at all. The future shown in the film is, quite frankly, probably in the top quintile of outcomes we can hope for when it comes to AI. The only truly horrifying thing it depicts is the return of high waisted pants in men's fashion

I wouldn't call Her dystopian per se, as it's more an individual story instead of applying to a society as a whole. Dunno what a sequel would look like though.

And also, it's no longer science fiction; there's people having relationships with chatbots which can easily be made to do voice transcription / synthesis, and r/characterai melts down whenever they have an outage.

This isn't limited to OpenAI, Silicon Valley as a whole behaves like that (see Zuck wanting to make the metaverse a reality)

Huh. I guess I'm old now, but my first thought was obviously the interstellar transportation device with a big honkin' rotary dial to select your destination.
