In March 2016, "Alpha Go" defeated professional nine-dan chess player Li Shishi, proving that artificial intelligence surpasses human beings intellectually, and the development of future technology is changing the social life of human beings at a rapid pace. In 2014, "Black Mirror: Christmas Special" directed by Carl Tibbetts used the story of three rings in a ring and a set in a set. From the philosophical level of metaphysics, it tells that when the black technology and the human society are disconnected, human nature will also be lost. Entering a bottomless black hole, without the constraints of laws and ethics, the abuse of artificial intelligence will be a catastrophe for mankind.
The film begins with a background in an abandoned log cabin where a man named Potter wakes up from a stupor, frowns and looks out of the snow-falling window, then massages his sore temples with his hands. Go to the mirror. There was a picture of a woman stuck to the edge of the mirror, and he stroked the picture with his hands, apparently this woman had a very close relationship with him. Potter walked into the kitchen, where a man named Matt was preparing Christmas dinner. Matt was very talkative when he saw Potter come in. He wanted to try to open up the taciturn Potter's chatterbox and ease the anguish of no one. Matt talked about a small part-time job before he came to this wooden house. This is a story about how to use the black technology "smart eye" to help otaku seduce girls.
"Smart Eye" is an irreversible cranial nerve eye device that can be used to take pictures, video, live broadcast, make phone calls, etc. All functions on mobile phones can be realized with "Smart Eye". With the popularization of "smart eye", the combination of virtual world and real world has basically been realized, and individuals have the right to operate and control the "smart eye" and even have the right to legal protection.
Matt in the story used the real-time video and voice functions of the "Smart Eye" to get a part-time job as a "love coach". He gave clients some advice through the real-time video messages sent when they were attending a party. , allowing them to end up having sex on the spot. This is a business with great potential . Most of the teenagers born in the future world will grow up in the virtual world of social networks, and it will become more and more difficult to establish intimate relationships with people in reality , so there will be many young people. People want to seek some kind of help, striving for a real relationship in the real world.
Going back to Matt's story, if nothing else, the client can always get an affair as he wishes, but the woman the client met this time turned out to be a depressed patient with suicidal tendencies. Through the eyes of the victim, Matt witnesses the entire process of a homicide. Matt, who knew that he could not protect himself, made a decisive decision and decided to destroy all witnesses. This is Matt's first story. Seeing that Potter finally had a little response, Matt decided to tell another story to completely open Potter's heart. The second story is about the AI "conscious egg".
In order to better describe the purpose of this artificial intelligence, we need to understand Matt's main occupation "consciousness domesticator". In the future of social development, living in a fully automatic house with artificial intelligence has become the norm for humans to pursue a better life, and service quality has become an indicator that commercial companies are competing for. At present, whether it is the communication industry, beauty industry, medical industry, e-commerce platform, etc., they are constantly obtaining the privacy of users through online service terminals. The purpose is to better understand customers' preferences and induce customers to buy products. It is not difficult to imagine that there will be some perverted people in the future world who can come up with the idea of using replication consciousness to serve the ontology. Who would know themselves better than the customers themselves?
In the story, the beauty played by Oona Chaplin accepts the service of extracting copy consciousness to work for her mansion, and puts part of her consciousness into an egg-shaped consciousness cultivation container, which is domesticated by "consciousness domesticator" Matt. Awareness copy, making it willing to become a smart butler service tool. This is undoubtedly cruel and ruthless. From an ethical point of view, a copy of consciousness is a thinking, sentient, and sentient soul; from a physical point of view, it is a string of artificial intelligence composed of code and a few lines of data. Life form.
Copy consciousness and whether artificial life enjoys human rights are questions that everyone in the future world needs to think about. Treat real humans, animals, and all other sentient beings with respect wherever and whenever possible.
Saddened by the copy of consciousness, Potter begins to reveal to Matt a crime he once committed. Potter and his girlfriend are a very loving couple. Although his girlfriend's father doesn't like to see Potter very much, the two have been living happily together. Until one day, Porter accidentally found out that his girlfriend was pregnant, his girlfriend broke up with Porter, and blocked Porter with "smart eyes". Since then, Potter can only see his girlfriend as a mosaic shadow, and his voice has become a buzzing radio sound. This shielding is not only effective for both parties, but will continue to the next generation of the shielding party. The most terrible The thing is, shielding is protected by law.
Several years later, when his girlfriend died in a car accident and the shielding failed, Porter learned that his girlfriend was pregnant with an Asian daughter. The grief-stricken Potter killed his girlfriend's father and accidentally killed his girlfriend's daughter~
When Potter said this, he suddenly found that the house he and Matt were staying in was the house of his former girlfriend's father, and he was terrified. And Matt showed his true colors. It turned out that the conversation between the two was a lie, and Matt went back to his old business to help the police tell Potter's copy of consciousness, in order to get the criminal law released, and the real Potter had been betrayed by the confession of the copy of consciousness, confirming the murder. Convicted.
"Black Mirror" has never disappointed the audience, and this "Black Mirror: Christmas Special" has directly poked at the ethical loopholes of black technology. If the copy consciousness does not have human rights, why can the confessions it make identify crimes in the real world; if it has human rights, why can it sell consciousness as an inanimate product to customers. The shielding function of the "smart eye" can affect the life in the real world, which is a variant of violating the human rights of others; the establishment of any intimate relationship is through the constant touch of two strange souls, forming the worldview and life of each other. A recognition of the view, and finally can enjoy the supreme happiness of the union of the flesh.
The very worth watching "Black Mirror: Christmas Chapter", how to use black technology to benefit mankind, instead of engaging in illegal profiteering and harming others, is a question that everyone should ponder.
