"I'm not a person."

I have always been used to watching warm robot movies, but this show gives the audience a different experience. From the initial running-in to the subsequent cooperation, the robot repeatedly emphasized to Frank that he is not a person, but an intelligence created by a program. Frank almost regarded the robot as an indispensable part of his life until the robot narrated the details of Frank's violation of the law.
We all hope that we have such a cooperating partner around us, even if it is a machine, it makes us feel pleasantly surprised and disappointed. It understands me so much, cares about me, takes care of me, and thinks about me... But it is not a person, everything is just the setting of the program. It has no emotions and no self.
When the naked reality appeared before Frank's eyes, the old man finally formatted the robot's memory, walked into the nursing home, and faced the real and cruel reality alone.
