The shifts in discourse brought about by scientific advances raise questions about the construction of a certain fantasy, that of using technological objects to abolish subjective division. The cinema, a looking glass for both individual and societal upheavals, is our tool of choice here since, as cinematographic fiction, it holds up a mirror to reality. The data collected by the study and analysis of the filmography related to artificial intelligence, consolidated by Deep Learning research, on the one hand, and the film Her, on the other, confirm the fantasy of a creational omnipotence. But anxiety ensues. The lack, which is supposedly filled by the AI of robot-bodies and by the disembodied voices of machines, is ultimately lacking. The encounter with these technological creatures reveals the deceptive nature of the fantasy and the uncanny (unheimlich) indicating that the subject had already become the object of their own objects, thus losing all subjectivity.
