If humans were god's toys

In fact, every child is the god of his own toys.

So whose toys are human beings and who are human gods? In this film, the relationship between human beings and toys can reflect the relationship between many human worlds in real life. How is man related to God who created himself? How is man related to artificial intelligence?

Let’s start with the first point. Man is God’s creation, but it is only man himself who truly degrades man as a toy. It is only between people that trampling and abuse can be seen, and each other degrades each other. Some people become others to achieve their goals. Tools, some people put themselves above others, and treat the poor people at the bottom as toys. But God's original intention is that man should be an end in itself, and man should not be a means.

The second point is that people and toys in movies are actually highly similar, but the material of the body is different. The reason why people are human is that they have morality, reason, and free will. With these three points, its essence is already human, or in other words, it already has a soul inside. The film discusses the relationship between man and toys, which to a certain extent mirrors the relationship between man and God. Is the meaning of all the existence of toys only for people? That is, do toys exist only for people? Do they have value in themselves? When people, as the creator, do not need toys one day, how should they face their own? What about life? These all reflect some problems at the level of people's own beliefs. If it is said that man comes from God, does all the meaning of man's existence exist only for God? Does man have value in himself? If one day man finds out that all this is just an illusion, how should he face the world? ?

I think the answer is yes. Once toys have free will, reason, and morality, they are no longer toys, and their value is not limited to their owners, because at this time toys are no longer toys, but living people. . Whether it is a god or a human being, a subject with autonomous consciousness has no right to talk about possession, and no one belongs to another.

The same is true for artificial intelligence. Either you don't give it life, or you learn to respect his life.
