Mid Credit Scene
edit(Edited.) People speculate that the ending hints that AIA made it “out there” and is manipulating other markets to spread her influence. The understanding I got was that there are other AI who spontaneously awoke, and that these events are happening amidst an emerging internet cosmos of competing AI. Maybe I overthought it. Anyway, I’ll leave it to smarter people (and/or people who care more than I do) to make the page edits regarding the final scene.
Are they going to write the full plot on this page?--24.129.18.226 (talk) 11:43, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- You don’t understand a word, so it was written by AI? Mike Allen 09:21, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Audience Response
editThis page has been targeted by vandals prompted by a youtube channel called Redlettermedia, which has contended that all Blumhouse productions are built upon 'a dumb idea leading to a series of bloodless non-events'. Whilst I decry any such vandalism of wikipedia (Redlettermedia covered their tracks by suggesting the vandalism through antiphrasis), is this popular description worth including in an Audience Response paragraph? 5thEarlofSalisbury (talk) 03:21, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- I do not think so per WP:UNDUE. Mike Allen 04:58, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not unless there's reliable secondary sources reporting om the matter. Otherwise, this vandalism spree isn't notable enough to be included. Alith Anar 13:47, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- It could be mentioned in the Critical response section, similar to:
- Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman of Red Letter Media described the film (and others produced by Blumhouse) as, "a dumb premise that leads to a bloodless series of embarrassingly bad non-events." Through antiphrasis, they further suggested that their viewers should vandalize the film's Wikipedia article.[1]

- Wikipedia needs reliable secondary sources to be included. Using a YouTube video to report on the vandalism spree the same channel encouraged would constitute a primary source, plus YouTube, being a social media service, tends to be seen as an unreliable source. Not to mention using that video to discuss a vandalism spree that occurred after the video was uploaded would count as synthesis and therefore original research, which is not allowed. For mention of this spree to be included, Wikipedia would need a reliable news service reporting on it, which is doubtful will happen.--Alith Anar 14:23, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
