The point of the film „Her”? Pretty sure you can look that up or watch the movie on your own.

My point being, that it’s like someone reading Frankenstein and then thinking it would be a good idea to make a monster of their own.

"Well did it work for those people?" "No. It never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... but it might work for us."

Samantha from that movie was the opposite of a monster. She was a metaphor for a human relationship and even though she betrays Theo in the end, Theo has learned "how to love".

I didn't find this that difficult to parse.

I watched the movie. To me it was many thngs, and a cautionary tale was one of the weaker impressions.
