Film review and some afterthoughts

1. Paul Dawson (Paul Dawson), who first appeared in the film, suffered severe brain damage during the war. The hero implanted a chip into his brain and wanted to test whether the chip repaired his brain. The method used is false belief task (false belief test), the result of the test is that he believes that other people’s ideas are equivalent to his own, and cannot understand or guess the mental state of others, including intentions, expectations, thinking, and beliefs (secondary intentions in the theory of mind), Generally, children aged 4-5 years should have this ability. And from his words, it can be found that his memory is also incomplete, but some human emotions are retained. Half-human and half-robots represented by Paul Dawson can be called modified humans. Part of their brains are controlled by chips, and the degree of control varies from individual to individual. Transformers represented by Suri Luca, stood in the robot camp and planned a robot revolution. Of course there are also aliens, represented by Sergei Ramanov, who retains most of the human emotions, standing in the human camp, secretly meeting with the human guards, trying to stop Suri’s plan (14:29), but it was discovered by Suri in Paul’s laboratory They burned to death at the door.

2. Humans think that the transformed people will lose their language ability within a few months after the chip is implanted, but in fact they invented a special language for communication between robots. And why they spoke human words in the first few months, maybe in the early stage, the human part of their consciousness still prevailed, and with the continuous enhancement of the chip learning, their recognition of themselves as robots became stronger and stronger , And disdain to communicate in human language.

3. After Ava (Ava) died, Paul used 3D reshaping technology to restore the shape of Ava and printed it out. At the same time, the algorithm designed by Ava was implanted in the brain of the robot as a chip, called The machine. This is The second-generation robot sounds like humans, but its power, speed, and cruelty are far beyond that of humans, but she also has spontaneous integrated information, or Consciousness, which is considered conscious by the military. The machine (a spontaneously conscious machine) is very dangerous, so Paul is asked to remove the self-consciousness of The machine. The original sentence is: Conscious machines are last thing we need.Have you any idea how dangerous that would be. We barely understand this prototype. What happens when it designs the next generation and that gen machine designs another. They'd be so far advanced , we'd be helpless against them.

4. Finally, led by Suri and The machine, the first and second generation robots escaped from the military laboratory. The final shot is The machine and Paul watching the sunset together. Paul fulfilled his wish and created a robot modeled after his daughter (who suffers from Rett's disease), but "her daughter" did not regard her as a father. , And don't want to talk to him.

5. It is the true paternal love that makes Paul insist on developing self-aware robots. Or from the beginning of the father's love, to later gradually change because of unwillingness to pay and persevere?

5. In general, this work expresses a pessimistic attitude towards the development of robots. Robots should not be developed too quickly, so that self-aware robots form new species against humans. Are robots an inevitable part of biological evolution? It's like humans evolved from the great apes. Will there be science and technology choice theory in the future, did humans invent robots, or science and technology chose robots?
