The impression of the first episode: Judging from the setting of the first episode, the subject matter is not new. The "skepticism" that questioned the authenticity of the world in which one lives has existed in ancient times, whether in Western civilization or Eastern civilization. As far as Western philosophy is concerned, skepticism is mainly concentrated in the field of epistemology, that is, to find the objective basis for the complete certainty of knowledge and truth. The most mature skepticism system comes from Plato's "cave metaphor" and Descartes's "evil spirit" thought experiment. Descartes envisioned that for the world we exist, all feelings may be manipulated by an evil spirit, but he said that we doubt East and West, but "I doubt" itself is beyond doubt. , So there is the famous "I think, therefore I am". The Cartesian suspicion changed into different versions in later generations. The most famous in the field of philosophy is the "brain in a cylinder" proposed by the American philosopher Hilary Putnam in 1981. It is assumed that Frankenstein put the human brain in the cylinder. , The nervous system is connected to the computer, further detailing the details of the thought experiment, but the kernel has not changed. Given that the original movie "Westworld" was filmed in 1973, it is obviously far earlier than Putnam's book "Reason, Truth and History". And this theme is also a sci-fi theme commonly used in Hollywood, such as "The Matrix", "Inception", "Source Code" and so on. So judging from the first episode of "Western World", it is a mixture of many elements set by previous movies and science fiction. From the perspective of "what is real and what is false", it is clear that Westworld is closer to the setting of "Inception", but the most basic difficulty faced by the skepticism of the real world is called "infinite regress", that is, "infinite regress". "Infinite Regression", take "Pirates" as an example, from the most "illusory" level of dreams to the next level, and still have to face the question of whether this level of dreams is true or not; in the same way, in Westworld, when you are a small town "Actors" find that the world they live in is false and enter the real world. How can they conclude that this real world is not false? By analogy, it seems that nothing can guarantee the authenticity of the current world except the absoluteness of God. From another perspective, the question of "the rise of artificial intelligence" and "to what extent can artificial intelligence be called humans, and how to define humans themselves" is nothing new. It is adapted from Philip Dick's science fiction novel "The Robot Society". Do you dream of an electronic sheep? "The movie "Blade Runner", "Escape from the Island", "I, Robot", there are a lot of random lists. The most typical representative of this perspective is of course "The Matrix", in which artificial intelligence is not only a civilization, but also surpasses human civilization. Of course, it is foreseeable that "West" should not simply set the plot from the perspective of "Escape from the Island Colony". It will set up larger conspiracies step by step, including but not limited to the management and shareholders of West World. The role played in it has even risen to a larger political structure and struggle; why Ed Harris collects the skulls of bionics and what he does; what actions will the bionics take after awakening, the heroine is in What is brewing? Another point worth mentioning is that in the process of solving the problem of skepticism, philosophers have always proceeded from the perspective of "rationality" and "logic". Cognition, emotion, and will are all set into the bionic human system according to inherent logic programming. An important task set by the heroine’s father is to "protect his daughter." To complete this task, he needs to mobilize the protection "will" to implement it. When his will to protect his daughter is too strong, he will go beyond imposing on him. The rationality and logical setting of ”makes the will gain the upper hand, so that it no longer obeys the designer, and becomes an important breakthrough for the dolls in the western world. Therefore, judging from the "abnormal" behavior of the heroine's father, emotion, will, and belief have always been very difficult areas for artificial intelligence, because no matter how powerful the rational and logical powers science and technology rely on, at least for now, it is still impossible to fully understand These three areas are technically and procedurally integrated. Taking faith as an example, there are often scientism atheists questioning religious people: If you believe in God, please "prove" the existence of God. This seems ridiculous to some religious people, because the problem is that the act of “proving” itself belongs to the realm of reason. It uses logic and reason to make cognition and belief consistent with facts, but belief belongs to another realm of man. Faith can only communicate with people in the way of faith. The same is true of emotion and will. Looking forward to the second episode.
