I’m not sure I’d say the characters behave rationally. Indeed the interesting human element is the varied ways in which they react to their creation, which basically shows juvenile emotional response and lack of foresight. They’re very good at planning, plotting, and scheming, but utterly fail at the “rationalists win” part.
EDIT: Still, upvoted because it’s a great rationalist’s movie. You should watch it (and re-watch it until you finally understand it) as it presents a great hypothetical and philosophically interesting what-if. Just not a model to emulate.
