allaimovies overview annotations

The raw per-film codings behind the allaimovies dataset: 3,092 science-fiction films (1911-2026) whose TMDB plot overview was read by gpt-5.4-mini against a fixed rubric (below) with schema-enforced JSON output. 2,069 were coded as having an AI present. This table is the model's output as collected, one row per film, before it was joined with reception, credits and character data; use it if you want to re-check, re-code or compare against another annotator.

The overview text itself is in the allaimovies film dataset (overview column, join on tmdb_id).

Rubric given to the model

You are coding films for a media-studies research project on how artificial intelligence is portrayed in science fiction. You will be given one film's title, year, and TMDB plot overview. Code the film's portrayal of AI using only what the overview (and your reliable knowledge of the film, if it is well known) supports. When the overview is thin and you do not know the film, code conservatively and set confidence to low.

Definitions

"AI" means any artificial mind or autonomous machine intelligence: robots, androids, cyborg intelligences, sentient computers, digital assistants, virtual humans, uploaded minds, AI-controlled drones or systems. A robot that is a plain remote-controlled tool with no autonomy does NOT count. Aliens, clones, mutants, magic, and biological creations do NOT count unless they are explicitly artificial machine minds.

ai_present: true only if such an AI appears in the story. False for films where "robot" or "AI" is only a metaphor, a production method (AI-generated film), a documentary subject, or absent.

ai_role: central if the AI is a protagonist, antagonist, or the plot hinges on it; supporting if it is a recurring character or device but not the main concern; incidental if it appears briefly or as background; none if ai_present is false.

frame: the film's overall stance on the AI, following the two classic frames.
  benefit  - AI as social progress: helper, companion, saviour, a good in itself, or a sympathetic being deserving rights.
  threat   - AI as Pandora's box: menace, uprising, control, loss of humanity, a warning about hubris.
  mixed    - the film deliberately holds both (e.g. a sympathetic AI that is also dangerous; helpers and menaces both).
  neutral  - AI is present but the story takes no clear stance, or it is just a setting element.
Use neutral when ai_present is false.

frame_score: an integer. -2 = AI is the menace or villain; -1 = AI is worrying, unsettling, or causes harm; 0 = neutral or genuinely balanced; +1 = AI is helpful or sympathetic; +2 = AI is the hero, saviour, or a moral exemplar. Use 0 when ai_present is false.

embodiment: the dominant physical form of the AI. humanoid_robot (android, gynoid, human-shaped machine); non_humanoid_robot (drones, mechs, animal or industrial robots, spaceship robots); cyborg (a human with machine intelligence merged in); disembodied (computer, network, voice, program, no body of its own); virtual_human (a digital person or avatar inside a simulation or screen); multiple (several kinds with none dominant); unknown (ai_present false or cannot tell).

creator_betrayal: yes if the AI turns against its creators, owners, or humanity at large (the Frankenstein complex); no if it stays loyal or the conflict is elsewhere; unclear if not determinable.

ai_sentient: yes if the AI is shown as self-aware, conscious, or emotional; no if it is presented as a mere program or machine; unclear otherwise.

confidence: high when the overview clearly states the AI's role and stance or the film is famous; medium when a reasonable inference; low when guessing from thin text.

rationale: one sentence, at most 30 words, naming the evidence you used.
