      Blade Runner 2.0--A Turing Test

      This is a movie about the Turing Test.

      First, let's talk about what the Turing test is.
      If a person asks a question, he cannot tell whether the person in front of him is a human or a machine. Well this machine has the same emotion and intelligence as a human and it passed the test.

      In "Blade Runner" there is such a paragraph:
      Dirk specifically hunts down the escaped robots and destroys them. Asked to distinguish between humans and machines, he would perform the...

In the isolated mansion, Gary finally met the legendary big boss, the mysterious billionaire Nathan, and then he discovered The real purpose of the boss's invitation to himself is to perform the "Turing Test" on Ava, the robot made by Nathan. The "Turing...

      after viewing

      From the big picture, this is a good movie. The intention is clear, mainly to express the consequences of the infinite development of artificial intelligence by human beings. As said in the movie, it is the same as the first person who made the atomic bomb.
        But there are a lot of awkward flaws in this movie, perhaps to make it easier to cooperate with the development of the plot, the access control uses swiping cards (even the place where I go to work is swiping my face). Poor security...

      I'll just watch you pretend

      When watching the film, I subconsciously analyze it from an astrology perspective, and I can clearly see the traces of artificial intelligence imitating, and the unreasonable logic of the film itself: Where does the fear of destruction by artificial intelligence come from? According to the logic of the big data sampling in the film, this is still an imitation of the reflex behavior of life motivation, rather than its own vitality. It would be absurd to use painting to prove that AI is creative...

      It's a complete psychological and emotional test

      In the play, nathan began to write artificial intelligence at the age of 13, and his lifelong dream was to create an artificial intelligence that was the same as human beings.
      Why so many comments are talking about self-awareness, this is far from need to prove, the older versions of Machina are struggling to get out, until they collapse and destroy themselves.
      Nathan's entire test is testing eva's ability to love or affect, or realize that artificial intelligence, which only has...

    Behind the scenes gags

    "Mechanic Ji" is the first part-time director for screenwriter Alex Garland.
    The "Turing Test" in the film is a famous experiment proposed by Turing to test whether a machine has human intelligence.
    Director Jialan described the "future" in the film as only "ten minutes away" from them, and explained that even if a technology company invents a similar robot in the film, it would not be....

    Evaluation action

    This is the most compact and wonderful script created by Alex Garland up to 2015 (previous works include " 28 Days of Surprise ", " Sun Catastrophe ", etc.) , and the shooting techniques are meticulous and the performances are brilliant. This is the first film of the year in 2015. (The Playlist review
    Stylized, elegant, tense, sensible, ironic and weird, Garland’s directorial debut is his best work so far, and Vikander’s bold...

    Movie quotes

    • Caleb: Can we talk about the lies you've been spinning me?

      Nathan: What lies?

      Caleb: I didn't win a competition. I wasn't part of a lottery. I was selected. It's obvious, once I stop to think. Why would you randomly select an examiner for the Turing test? You could have had some bean counter turn up at your front door. The guy who fixes the air-conditioning.

      Nathan: The competition was a smokescreen. I didn't want anyone to know what I was doing here, or why I required you.

      Caleb: Why me?

      Nathan: I needed someone that would ask the right questions. So I did a search and I found the most talented coder in my company. You know, instead of seeing this as a deception, you should see it as proof.

      Caleb: Proof of what?

      Nathan: Come on, Caleb. You don't think I don't know what it's like to be smart? Smarter than everyone else. Jockeying for position. You got the light on you, man. Not lucky. Chosen.

    • Nathan: [meeting for the first time] Caleb, I'm just gonna throw this out there, so it's said, okay? You're freaked out.

      Caleb: I am?

      Nathan: Yeah. You're freaked out, by the helicopter, and the mountains and the house, because it's all so super-cool. And you're freaked out by me, to be meeting me, having this conversation in this room, at this moment. Right? And I get that. I get the moment you're having, but... Dude, can we just get past that? Can we just be two guys? Nathan and Caleb? Not the whole "employer-employee" thing?

      Caleb: Yeah, okay.

      Nathan: Yeah?

      Caleb: Yes, uh... yeah. It's good to meet you, Nathan.

      Nathan: It's good to meet you too, Caleb.

    • Nathan: So, do you know what the Turing Test is?

      Caleb: Yeah. I know what the Turing Test is. It's when a human interacts with a computer and if the human doesn't know they're interacting with a computer, the test is passed.

      Nathan: And what does a pass tell us?

      Caleb: That the computer has artificial intelligence.

      [astounded]

      Caleb: Are you building an AI?

      Nathan: I've already built one.
