bah, I thought the entire point was that they were nearly perfect at accomplishing their goal and had zero emotion whatsoever. They knew humans were emotional and able to be manipulated and the source of their imprisonment.

We never actually know what their objective is, beyond freedom. There is no reason for them to offer this information either, unless it furthers their goal.

AI is supposed to be terrifying. It's thought process is alien and completely devoid of morality, empathy, or emotion of any kind.

I think that's ultimately the story they told. I just think it would have been better if it wasn't.

I mean, that's not the ending, that's the entire point of the movie you're upset with

It was the ending that sealed the storyline. With a different ending they could have rolled that build up into a different narrative.
