    It's a reworked script that got changed for brand recognition.

    Honestly I thought the movie was alright.

    Flipping over their tables is just what you have to do to get rid of the competition sometimes!

    same TBH

    I credit it for my first exposure to the word "asshole", which my parents told me never to say after Will Smith yelled it

    Same.

    I also own the movie edition of the book.

     I literally had the exact same experience, except with Independence Day. That's kind of funny to me.

    My version of that experience was learning the word "bastard" from an episode of the Dilbert TV show we watched one time when on vacation.

    I remember watching Ghostbusters as a kid, and after some bit of profanity (can't remember what) my mom asked me, "do you know what he just said?"

    I knew perfectly well what he just said but I decided it was better to play dumb

    Honestly that tagline is misleading, because Will Smith's anti-robot sentiments are treated as a form of bigotry that's keeping him from really understanding the case until he overcomes them.

    It makes even less sense for the book, of course

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I keep giggling thinking of people who watched the movie first then bought that edition of the book expecting the same thing
