AI

Watching this movie again, I can't help but think of a debate topic in "Wonderful Flower": "When your lover dies, will you give TA's memory to AI?"

The original intention of making robots is to serve people, but when a robot has autonomous thinking and can learn, it will be out of human control.

Just like the growth of a person, from waiting to be fed to a toddler, from entering the school gate to entering the society, one yearns to break free from the control of parents, to be independent and free! And the robot has learned to think, will it also distinguish between good and evil? How destructive can an "evil" robot be?

People want to be immortal "machines", and machines want to be sentient beings. . . Is it good to be human? Or is it better to be a machine?

Bicentennial Man quotes

  • Andrew Martin: May one, sir? Is now a good time?

    'Ma'am' Martin: What? A good time for what?

    Andrew Martin: Last night, Sir taught...

    Sir: No, no, no, don't blame me Andrew. Just... go ahead.

    Andrew Martin: Thank you sir

    Andrew Martin: [Very fast] Two cannibals were eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "Does this taste funny to you?" How do you make a hanky dance? Put a little boogie in it! What is a brunette between two blondes? A translator! Do you know why blind people don't like to sky-dive? It scares their dogs! A man with demensia is driving on the freeway. His wife calls him on the mobile phone and says "Sweetheart, I heard there's someone driving the wrong way on the freeway." He says "One? There's hundreds!" What's silent and smells like worms? Bird farts. It must have been an engineer who designed the human body. Who else would put a waste processing plant next to a recreation area? A woman goes into a doctor's office, and the doctor says "Do you mind if I numb your breasts?" "Not at all." *makes 'motor-boating' noise. "Num-num-num-num."

    Andrew Martin: [Family chuckles] One did it sir!

    Sir: Andrew, it was fine, but we might want to talk about appropriatness and um, and timing.

    Andrew Martin: It's ten-fifteen sir.

    [Family laughs hysterically]
