What you see may not be real

A good movie will make you unforgettable and thinking.

After watching the movie "Upgrade", my brain is wide open. Isn't this what the future world will look like? The emergence of the new crown has provided a larger platform for the development of artificial intelligence. All kinds of conjectures about the future world are reflected in every detail of life in the movie. The meaning of this film will be better and better presented in the future.

Everyone has flaws. Weaknesses make people imperfect. Compared with humans, AI has no emotional awareness, which is an advantage. But this is also a fatal flaw. No one knows where AI with such advantages will develop the world. Will AI that replaces human governance really be better than humans in dealing with the earth? Be kinder to the planet? We don't have an answer.

Forget the logic of the screenplay. I pay more attention to what direction our human beings will develop in the future world. 3D machines can print gourmet food, and delicious food can be printed in blocks. The joy of cooking is lost. Cars can drive themselves, so the luxury brand cars we drive now become antiques, but they have collectible value. After all, rare things are more expensive. After seeing a doctor and eating, a robotic arm can help you diagnose and treat, and go to any hospitals and clinics. Drones are in the sky, monitoring you anytime and anywhere to see if you are committing a crime or breaking the law. Everyone should be a good citizen, and all your information will be monitored all the time. There are many more, all of which are life changes brought about by artificial intelligence. as long as you want. Once the technical barriers are broken, everything is possible.

I'm more concerned about whether the hero really went to heaven at the end of the movie? We always say that people must do good deeds before they can go to heaven. Is that the ultimate goal of a person’s life to go to heaven? At the end of the movie, the male protagonist's mind is free from the flesh, controlled by AI, and he lives completely in the spiritual world of idealism. Is this another kind of actual heaven? My brain can't figure it out.

If AI develops, it will transform human beings in this way and push all human beings into such a kind of paradise. This is the utopia created by AI, without pain and without shortcomings. There is no pain and no shortcomings, which is what human beings instinctively think, pain and shortcomings. This is another deep reading.

What do people really want? Is our existence real?

Upgrade quotes

  • Grey Trace: See, you thought I was a cripple but you didn't know that I'm a ninja.

    Stem: While I am state of the art, I am not a ninja.

  • Stem: It does not make sense that humans deliberately malfunction.

    Grey Trace: Yeah, that's because your memories are filled with ones and zeros, pal, and our memories are filled with every fuck-up we've ever made.
