Carol Peters (Melissa McCarthy) devotes her time to working for non-profit organizations and dreams of changing the world for the better. She is one of the most mediocre representatives of humanity. One day one of her household appliances reported to Carol. It seems to the heroine that this is the prank, but the Superintelligence turns to her, who chose her for research. Now she has three days to explain to the Superintelligent how human relationships work. If he does not like the result of Carol's efforts, he will enslave or destroy the whole world.
AI becomes the heroine's assistant, adjusting her financial, work, and personal affairs.
The film was directed by Ben Falcone, the husband of the leading actress Melissa McCarthy. This fact explains many moments in the film. Superintelligence is not the couple's first film together; they filmed together in the comedies Tammy, The Boss, and Life of the Party.
Actually, for the fourth film together, the concept of combining bad jokes and Melissa McCarthy did not change, only this time Ben Falcone added AI with human emotions, which is torn between the desire to help people and the urge to destroy the Earth.
