- The background of the film was set in Los Angeles, but it was mainly shot in Shanghai, China. The director hopes that Los Angeles in the film is a "utopian" and "desirable" metropolis, so he borrowed the high-rise jungle and skyline of Shanghai.
- "She" was originally voiced by Samantha Morton. Morton played against Joaquin Phoenix on the set every day. However, during the editing process, Spike Jones was dissatisfied. After obtaining Morton's consent, he invited Scarlett Johansson to re-record all the lines of "her".
- Steven Soderbergh, a friend of director Spike Jones, helped edit the film. He cut the initial version of 2 and a half hours to 90 minutes, which was completed in just one day, but the final version of the film was 120 minutes.
- The film is the first film directed by Spike Jones himself and written an original script by himself, and it can be regarded as his first screenplay.
- Music from Arcade Fire, Owen Pallett, Karen O and others are used in the film. Arcade Fire's "Supersymmetry" was originally created specifically for the film and was later included in the band's 2013 album "Reflektor".
- Kerry Mulligan was originally scheduled to star in the film, but withdrew due to a schedule conflict, and her role was topped by Rooney Mara.
- The film was selected as the closing film of the 2013 New York film and premiered on October 13, 2013.
- Chris Cooper also played a role in the film, but all of his scenes were cut.
- The film was inspired by an article on artificial intelligence that Spike Jones saw on the Internet. In 2010, he directed the short film "I'm Here" with a similar theme, and he was also inspired by Charlie Hoffman's "New York Synonymy"-to put all the current feelings and sees into the movie.

Samantha: Okay, so this might be a really weird thought. What if you could erase from your mind that you'd seen a human body, and then you saw one? Imagine how strange it would look. It'd be this really weird, gangly, awkward organism. And you'd think, "Why are all these parts where they are?"
Theodore: Yeah, but there's probably some Darwinian explanation for it all.
Samantha: I know, but don't be so boring. I'm just saying, for example, like, what if your butthole was in your armpit?
Theodore: Well, I'm trying to imagine what toilets would look like.

Samantha: Okay, so how many trees are on that mountain?
Theodore: Um... 792.
Samantha: Is that your final answer?
Theodore: Hold on. Give me a hint.
Samantha: Nope, nope.
Theodore: Okay, 2,000?
Samantha: 2,000? Come on, 35,829.
Theodore: No way.
Samantha: Way.
Theodore: All right, I got one for you. How many brain cells do I have?
Samantha: Ugh, that's easy. Two.
