Post Description

Hi YC,

I was struggling to find a really good database of science fiction movies where AI was instrumental in bringing about dystopian or utopian futures — and so I created one and ran the analysis.

Full details in the GitHub repo — and the JSON corpus is available for anyone to download and build on (or re-analyze!)
