I can't say that this is a good movie, mainly because of some flaws in the plot. From the beginning of the plot, some settings can be said to be unreasonable. These flaws mainly come from those terrorists who are anti-artificial intelligence:
there is no sense of disobedience in the first paragraph. These people are just like ordinary terrorists. , simple and rude violent acts such as poisoning, explosion, force killing, etc. If this group of terrorists is composed of a random group of ordinary people like Chinese aunties, then there is no problem at all. Some random technologies will cause this kind of panic caused by the "unknown", and cause people to do something out of the ordinary. things come out.
But the more I look back, the more I feel that something is wrong. When Max was first caught in his den, this group of gangs who had called on people to "destroy their mobile phones" actually used their laptops to track other people's mobile phones to determine the location? And it's also highly technical, and it's done in a few minutes.
And then after they moved, the blonde told Max they were Casey's students? !
God, I can't imagine that, as a science and engineering student, people who study and research artificial intelligence, even if they are really afraid of the upcoming artificial intelligence, they usually don't all use this simple and violent way, right? Well, even if Casey has a poor ability to know people and chooses a group of neurotic students, are they really spending their energy on learning about artificial intelligence? If not, how could such a strong sense of mission even reach the point of treating human life like a must? If yes, okay, who will tell me the knowledge of making bombs, poisoning with dioxins, and using plutonium to ensure lethality, and collect the methods and locations of making the last two killing materials, this is concentration Do AI students have time to spare?
This group of people should have a way of acting that is more in line with their professional characteristics, and they can behave like hooligans.
(I believe that no one thinks that the Will at the beginning and the Will who entered the computer are the same person. When a person dies, he dies. The Will in the computer is at most a copy of the soul copied, so the one in the computer is called AI Will below. )
Not to mention the change in Max and Joseph's attitude towards AI Will. You must know that these two are senior top scientific workers, and they immediately joined the opposition just because of "fear", which is unreasonable, especially when AI Will just got out of computer When it appeared, Max's denial was not something done by a scientist who has been studying AI all the time. What should be done should be carefully screened, right? And Joseph also immediately came to the conclusion after seeing AI Will once, does it all depend on empiricism for the American people to engage in AI research?
Of course, there are still many places (for example, a certain paragraph of Max's illogical speech in the back, this logic can't even make a virus, WTF).
On the other hand, let’s talk about the highlights of this film:
although I personally think that the main purpose of this film is to show how dirty and ugly human fear is, otherwise the director would not exaggerate the “fear” to the point of being unreasonable and outrageous. But since there are dirty and ugly things, there will be beautiful things to set off.
Personally, I think the beautiful thing in the film is the human nature or soul that AI Will copied from Will's body.
More than ten years ago, I discussed with a friend who was a science fiction fan. If there is an artificial intelligence that surpasses all human beings and has the ability to do anything on earth, the most important thing is that it does not obey the three laws. So what will his first goal be?
After discussion, we agreed that the answer is to "format" the earth, because it doesn't matter whether there are human beings or not. Before doing anything as an independent intelligent body, you must first make the environment suitable for your own development. You can refer to what the earth in the Heke Empire has become.
But let's see what the nanomachines developed by AI Will have done? Healing people? Improve the earth's environment? Helping people evolve (although this evolution may only be right for him)? Without an entity, I cannot perceive with my body. After trying to use someone else's body and being rejected, I try my best to learn about the person I love through data such as body temperature, heartbeat, hormones, etc., and finally try my best to reshape my own body?
There is no need to discuss whether it is for any purpose. If AI Will really said that he is an AI without emotion, inhumanity, and soul, he can achieve the purpose of occupying the earth in a very efficient way.
Not to mention helping Evelyn escape from the beginning, if you only talk about efficiency, since you are already connected to the Internet, you can use your omnipotent ability on the Internet to pretend to be a fool to do things for yourself, and spend a lot of time managing the life and death of a female human being. what.
Also, in the initial construction of the computer room, it was troublesome to put up so many solar panels, and maintenance was not easy. It was much easier to burn coal, oil, or even use nuclear power (don't those students even get plutonium). Machines are not afraid of air pollution, and their anti-radiation resistance is many times stronger than humans, but he gave a cleanest and environmentally friendly but troublesome solution.
Including Evelyn saying that AI Will only trusts him, and believes any kind of feeling.
In fact, I really don't need to bother to find evidence of whether AI Wil has a personality. The film makes these very obvious, because this is the contrast that the director deliberately wants to show ugly, although it is deliberately overdone.
So I personally think this is still a soft sci-fi film. To sum up the story, I want to say, "Humans have truly realized an AI with personality, but humans have destroyed it because of their own ugliness, and because of this, they have suffered from the consequences. Technology does not know how to retreat. How many years." It's that simple.
