The "New Ash" in the play, that is, the robot behind Ash, obviously cannot pass the Turing test in the heroine (that is to say, he is still a robot in Martha's view), and what the screenwriter Charlie Brooker envisioned should be In the near future, according to the "new Ash" shown in the play, it should be:
1. Based on the past data, through data mining technology plus face recognition and cloud technology, etc. to realize the copy and imitation of Ash's past (advanced version) The feeling of a little yellow chicken...), but the learning ability is pitiful (not breathing details when sleeping, not arguing with the heroine Martha). Sure enough, it's the same as the show, it's just a beta version.
But what if it is the official version with enhanced learning ability? Sleeping is the same as falling asleep, breathing deeply and evenly, moving softly like a real human, and will learn how to fight and then come back to coax people, what will happen? (And if you change to a female robot, like "Chobits", it is estimated that many otaku will be bloodied every day by their cute attributes... (¯﹃¯))
2. Network-based data, that is The boyfriend who was "reborn" with electronic data ultimately lost in some details that would not appear on social networks. Those private information, whether it is a private habit, petty or subconscious reaction in certain scenarios, these cannot be synchronized to the memory of "New Ash". Eventually led to a variety of subtle strangeness. From the beginning to the end, the heroine felt these subtle differences and subconsciously felt uncomfortable (of course, it has already been explained that this project is in the experimental stage). At the beginning, she wanted to adapt, but in the end she was This reconstructed "new boyfriend" was overwhelmed by the lack of emotional expression (feminine delicate feeling?). The name of the protagonist in the play is Ash (ash), which is also suggestive. In the end, it becomes a cloud of the past together with the memories in the attic.
But if we go further and imagine that most of your life data is electronic, even as imagined in many sci-fi works, your life is electronic, like "Final Edit", "Ghost in the Shell", " As described in "Real Name, Real Surname", people's memories, feelings and even thoughts are accurately stored as electronic data. Can you create a complete you?
In related works in Japan, most of the stories discussed are stories after the above questions have been answered in the affirmative. Like "Eve's Time", the subtitles at the beginning have shown that the background of the story is an era when humanoid robots are widely used. Of course, the focus is different from "Black Mirror", it can be regarded as the story after the robot Ash in "Black Mirror" matures.
It is actually about half a century since the birth of the first modern electronic computer. The processing power of our smartphones has exceeded that of ENIAC, which occupied a few rooms in the past, by many times. And now there has been some light in the research and development of the practical application of quantum computers, but what does quantum computers mean? A quantum computer may be able to exceed the combined processing power of all existing computers. If quantum computers are successfully developed and popularized in another half a century, the emotional personification of robots will certainly be more real.
So what do we have now?
To sort out some information that I know personally: In terms of data mining, such as IBM’s Smart Earth project, one of the cases is the establishment of a model in a city with a high crime rate in Brazil. Which areas are most likely to have crimes, and the police can stand by and wait in the predicted areas. As for the flexible screen used by Martha as an illustration, many manufacturers have launched prototype mobile phones based on flexible screens at the recent CES Electronics Show, such as Samsung. In other respects, IBM has manufactured flexible wafers in the laboratory, and LG has demonstrated flexible electronic paper.
The current and future trend is ubiquitous small embedded devices (various electronic screens) or wearable devices (like Google glasses), on the street, at home, anywhere, all kinds of data (similar to Google Now now in Do) like a torrent, far exceeding the magnitude of the current data, and finally processed by mature cloud technology...
Then it may be a matter of time to pass the Turing test.
Fifty years later, the same beginning, but facing such a near-perfect Ash, who can create new memories and possibilities with her, will Martha eventually put "him" in the attic?
