Much of that baseline test actually comes from Nabokov's "Pale Fire" - which is also the book Joi picks up when she says "do you want to read to me".

The second baseline test where K fails is such a hard to watch scene. it’s such a short scene but personally the highlight of the movie because of what it means.
He’s becoming human and they need to turn him off.
This got fixed in my brain since watched the movie. Such a powerful wordplay that make sense in the context of fuzzy testing an android for signs of emotions, like the desire to connect with someone.
It was released already into a new age of significant change in cinema values. Everything since is too safe, too clean and reassuring. We need some punk (in blockbuster) movies again.
