Why must we impose emotional drama on AI?

I'm sick and have a low fever, I almost finished watching it, because this film is brain-free type :)

Except for some slightly procrastinated sections, I feel that the rhythm of most plots is not badly controlled, and it often happens one after another. The best part is the survival part. The one that left a deep impression was the "bonfire" built by all the survivors and the chariot where Robinson and his wife escaped and buried in the tar ground. It is precisely because of these thrilling but logical and plausibility clips that I plan to give this film four stars, and all the props are still in place in the eyes of a pseudo-science fiction fan like me, which has a taste of future interstellar immigrants.

There are indeed a lot of slots in this film. I don't want to vomit, vomiting is just a kind of venting, and it doesn't make much sense. In fact, I don't think I like a movie without watching it. There is no need to vomit. After all, as the age increases, the effective time is so little. Since it takes time to watch it, it is better to think about the part that is worth thinking about.

When I was watching, I thought there were two things that made me feel unpleasant. The first is that the main line plot is driven bluntly, and I always feel that it is to deliberately create a certain process in order to require a certain result. The character of Dr. Smith, a bad woman, is a bit weird, and it feels like something is born out of nothing, but in my conscience, I think the actor has interpreted it well. She is a little crazy, but she has a muddle-headed feeling, and then suddenly she has a sharp stare in a few moments, so I think the actor plays well. Her existence is nothing more than the plot needs a villain, and the interesting thing about this setting is that this villain is always in the "good guy" pile. She always seems to be planning something, but you don't know what she will do next. what. But even if you admit this persona, all the plots seem to happen too coincidentally and too convenient. For example, when she gave Angela some so-called psychotherapy, Angela immediately went to find the Robinson family. In fact, she just fired a few shots at the invincible robot (and she happened to find the gun). The robot just demonstrated to her. Will told him to stop and listened immediately, but Will felt that he was responsible for him and made him jump off the cliff... The process she got the robot felt like everyone was "cooperating."

In fact, as a hard science fiction film, I think it would be better to set it up as a camp that is in a crisis of survival. In order to save people, Will must choose to let the robot plunge into the cliff, so the robot is sacrificed. Because there are only ten episodes, there can't be too many things to talk about. If you want to explore human nature, such as digging out the various psychological crises and psychological contradictions of survivors due to survival problems, then you must sacrifice a lot of hard science fiction survival plots. In fact, in this extreme environment, it is normal for humans to breed a variety of emotions, and there is a lot of material to dig out in terms of human nature. The reverse is also true. If you want to focus on survival, then the human nature is not as simple and clear as the setting. One of the strange things about this film is that all the other survivors are exceptionally brave and just, causing Dr. Smith to appear particularly out of place among this group of people-how is it actually possible? How could all the survivors be able to do so with one heart and one mind? So I think the key issue is that in order to portray the human nature and the development of the villain, the plot must cooperate with this villain, which leads to the rigidity that many viewers feel.

The second one is also my most dissatisfied. It is such an awesome AI. Why must it impose human feelings on him? Whether AI has emotions and knows people, this issue has been discussed in many sci-fi works, and I believe that many people must be in favor of it. But I am a member of the opposition camp, because I think the beauty of AI, or the beauty of programs, lies in its coldness, impersonal, pure, and absolute. Given a kind of input to a program, it will inevitably produce a kind of output, and this output will not change no matter how many tries. The so-called machine learning is to allow the machine to give answers that are getting closer and closer to the correct answer through training when the correct output is determined. The program is just like this, because its logic is so simple and absolutely so beautiful. A higher level of beauty is embodied in efficiency, simplicity, optimization, etc., but I never believe that a machine must have "human emotions" to be beautiful, and it should not have a human-like shape.

The robots in this film come from a civilization much higher than the people on earth. In such a civilization, how can they create a humanoid robot? I'm always puzzled at this point. The reason why we humans evolve into our present form is because our form fits our planet, and this planet is carbon-based. The aliens in the film may not be a similar carbon-based creature from the point of view of the robot alone, so the humanoid may not make much sense to them. In fact, I have always been YY. If it is the era of interstellar aviation, the human structure is actually not suitable, it may be a very low-level structure (of course, this is only YY). First, we need oxygen, and secondly, we have unusually high requirements for the environment such as temperature and humidity, which makes it difficult for us to adapt to other environments. Moreover, our communication is through the vocal cords. The range and speed of this wave transmission are much slower than many other waves, let alone we have to eat and drink, so I always think human beings are...weak on the interstellar scale. Yes, so what is good about humanoid? If the alien civilization is so developed, then their robot must be a geometric structure that cannot be imagined with human current knowledge. So every time I see the robot striding along, I feel that the picture is very embarrassing...

In addition, I think that imposing emotional drama on AI is more of an obsession for the author. And as far as the film is concerned, the bond between the robot and Will, the child is the deepest, so this setting is more hypocritical and cheesy, as if only a young and pure heart can be intimacy with the robot. This is similar to, for example, works involving animal themes often have the deepest bond between children and animals, and fantasy themes are often the young and pure heart that finally drew mystery. In the last stage of the fight, the robot suddenly thought of Will, and died with his partner in order to save him. For a nerd like me, I really need technical explanations related to this behavior of robots. Alas, まあ, at a higher level, in fact, science explains what is magical horses, whatever they do. As an audience, I can accept some pseudo-science to a certain extent, but what I don’t like is this kind of wishful thinking-this kind of thinking. Anthropocentrism is at the core, praising the situation of all things like human beings. We humans often only like things that are close to ourselves, similar and can be used for ourselves. For example, human animals are easily considered superior to other animals because they can communicate more with people. In the field of robot development, humans have been committed to manufacturing. Out of the same thing as yourself. So from this perspective, a good robot must be a humanoid robot that is close to humans (and preferably the purest good people). I think this situation reflects human selfishness and egocentricity, and it is a cunning act to cover up this fact through artistic rendering. So I am opposed to this kind of science fiction film, and I am opposed to imposing emotional drama on AI.

Well, it seemed a bit high-pitched at the end, it seems that I rarely have such a clear point of view. But I still want to thank this film for accompanying me through the days I can’t use my brain:) And I will still watch the second season and look forward to it!
