But couldn't save it from being a monster movie at the end of the day.
Surveillance, manipulation, and isolation are all on trial here... if your a scientist/ inventor/engineer... you can't do anything this scale in isolation, nor would you want to... plus if this was really a Turing test... you wouldn't hand pick your one subject -- almost the exact opposite of an unbiased study. so yea this movie is as meaningful as why some guy made Godzilla in his garage.
Some of its interesting to show the emotions one goes through when lonely and when they are watched and how you can be manipulated by things you want to hear... but the programmer has virtually no self-awareness. Plus this film never goes anywhere near morality and so everyone just ends up being some paranoid and selfish version of a human.
That said we're left watching a game of 3-way chess play out (and only because the programmer decides to become a player too). which can be entertaining, but ultimately ends up not being meaningful at all IMO other than just pointing out we have blindspots.
