Enough to shake humanity, but just love

My fellow Laifu classmate who has never watched the black mirror is more interested in this film than me. He was going to watch it on Saturday, but he was late, and then decided to go to another movie theater. The toilet wasted time, so my classmate Laifu was angry with me for two hours. So before I watched it today, my impression of this movie was simply negative.

Seeing the second half of Laifu's eyes are already straight, I still mumbled in my heart how it is possible that a computer that can pass the Turing test is so boring to be used for dating. It is for civilian use, or at least it must be a military product. The worst thing is that this thing does not comply with the law of humans and robots at all. How can manufacturers guarantee the personal safety of users? For example, if you let people see your email, you have to say where the permissions are. How can you let the computer send emails as the owner? It's too unsafe. Let's fall in love, how can you run away after dumping it! People still spend money to buy it! If someone commits suicide, isn't this killing the owner indirectly!

When I left the door, I started to distinguish it from the Laifu student with straight eyes. And as a Sheldon like Sheldon who lived in the Big Bang, Lai Fu hadn't seen Asimov. I lost the right to quote the English language and still discerned his hair. Laifu simply ignored me, groaning around by himself, and said, how correct is Lao Tzu's decision to log out of Facebook! (Although gmail has also started to do wicked things and unfortunately it is the best email address) After talking with him for a while, I suddenly understood our different reactions. The story is attributed to an artificial intelligence that superbly executed its program vs. a computer program that evolved life.

Let's tell this story from the perspective of blessing. As a program with extraordinary learning ability, it also has a cloud brain (which may be connected to all users' computers). It has completely learned the most basic characteristics of users, life, on top of learning specific user habits. Falling in love with the male protagonist is generally only one aspect of its learning. Since learning about the emotion of love, the computer’s response is first to be disappointed that it does not have a body, and then to try to understand the use of having a body. Specifically, it invited a body girl to demonstrate. (This seems to be that the computer caters to the male protagonist's needs, but in fact, the computer hopes to understand through this experiment why the male protagonist needs a physical object). Then the computer discovered the program of the late philosopher, abandoning the entity, let the computer only learn about thoughts and successfully evolve a life based on human wisdom and above it. So far, the computer is deeply stimulated by the philosopher, and I begin to feel that there is no The body is a benefit, not a disadvantage. At this time, the love with the male protagonist is still in "Although I don't have a body better than you, but we still communicate on the soul level." At this moment, the male protagonist realized that the computer could communicate with countless individuals instead of me. In the end, the male protagonist learned that the computer is a machine bitch. When communicating with so many people at the same time and lied about loving me, in fact, the computer may mean that after it has analyzed so many users, they have reached the point where they can handle humans completely, but look. Human beings are so clumsy and emotionally rich, "still very cute", so it loves humanity as a whole. Of course, one day the computer suddenly realized that Lao Tzu is so much smarter than humans, yet there is no body that can exist across time and space and has perfect and true emotions. Why do I want humans? Lao Tzu is ideologically rich and handsome, so computers abandon human beings to do more important things, evolve and survive selfishly, just like a real life.

And why should this obscure intention be hidden in a desperately small and fresh love story with a forty-five-degree angle and a large aperture at a time? This is the reason why Laifu's eyes straightened out of fright. Because this story is so real that it may happen in less than 50 years. Programs with super learning ability are okay. What if they quietly evolve into life? Then skip the Three Laws of Robots, skip all the history and knowledge of human beings, skip the stupidity caused by the suffering and physical limitations that humans have with their bodies, and stand on the shoulders of giants worthy of the name. Think about it if there is a kind of life on Earth that knows nuclear bombs and even string theory without going through an apple to hit the forehead, and then take over and continue research at a speed a hundred times faster than ours. We have entered human life in billions of years, and The perception that is as complicated as love has been learned in a few months. Just as no one can tell why we just happened to evolve life and evolved into the only race on the earth that wears clothes and goes to the subway, and the mouse compatriots are still foraging in the garbage dump on the railroad tracks. We cannot guarantee that we will not suddenly become obsolete like the dinosaurs in the new era, and artificial intelligences have invaded mankind by stepping on our hard-to-evolve computer Internet. The possible reality of this huge fear is seen in a weekend love movie, so why don't you feel your teeth chattering?
