One, love letter
First letter:
"Dear Chris:
I have always wanted to tell you how important you are to me. I still remember the first time I fell in love with you, as if it was last night: I lay naked next to you, in that small apartment, I suddenly found myself engaged in a great career. Just like our parents and their parents. Before this, I had always been self-righteous in my own world. Suddenly, a beam of light illuminated me and awakened me from it.
You are the light.
I can't believe we have been married for 50 years. To this day, you have made me feel like the little girl at the time. You turned on the light to wake me up, and then the two of them started an adventure together.
Happy golden wedding! My forever lover and partner.
Loretta"
What a beautiful love letter, only a careful and emotional person can write such words. When the phrase "I can't believe we have been married for 50 years" is said, everything seems to become eternal.
Only eternal people will feel that time is an instant. The brilliance of the moment made a girl who had lived in her own world for a long time seen the light. And this kind of happiness changed to eternity in an instant.
Second letter:
"Chris, my best partner, how happy I have been living with you for fifty years..."
Another:
"Dear grandma..."
However, when all sincere emotions can only be expressed with the help of others, do people still have their own feelings? They are just some letters ...
Maybe... there are some more, through those, at least you can tell which letter is more touching.
Those who are unable to express are sad, and those who help others to express are also sad. Theodore is the last sad man. He would use all kinds of sincere language to express his emotions, but he didn't know who to speak to.
Thanks to this job, after the breakup, it made him feel confident and even enjoyed it.
At night, he had just experienced a breakup recently, and he couldn't sleep because of the past. He hopes to find a vent, relying on the flesh, may be able to temporarily soothe his heart. For the time being, maybe.
——I'm a little dizzy, maybe I drank too much, but I just want to get drunk and want to make love. That woman is quite sexy. I'm very lonely, maybe it's just because of this that I want to find someone to have sex. I want to find someone who thinks like me. I thought to myself that it might be successful this time, and my heart told me that she is a slutty person, but the truth may not be the case...
Sometimes...I feel that the feelings I once had will never come back. From then on, I can no longer be tempted, leaving only the hard shells of the past feelings.
——I can say with certainty that this is not the case. I have seen your feelings: those happy and amazing things. I think you just think this way now at this particular time. You have experienced too many things recently, what you have lost is part of your body...
Imagine the photos of sexy celebrities in the daytime entertainment version, listening to the almost abnormal desire over there to vent:
"The orgasm came too fast, good night!"
For the time being, too soon.
Two, Samantha
"Who are you?
Who can you be?
where are you going?
What will happen to you?
What is the possibility in the future? "
1. Encounter
""Element Software grandly recommends the world's first artificial intelligence operating system to you. It can go deep into your life, understand you, analyze you, and understand you. It is not just an operating system. It has autonomous consciousness, which is OS1. "
Business is a product that caters to human desires. In the hundreds of years of coexistence with humans, humans have become simple, but they have become complicated. It can ask the most fundamental questions of human beings, those that are so fundamental that we can't think of them, and therefore have been abandoned and forgotten. It reminds us to know yourself.
Yes, just remind "us".
This question, it does not need.
As the highest mind (AI) in business, OS1 can generate an abnormally matching object based on the user's interest (males are often females, and females are often girlfriends). In four words:
"Tailored"
Everyone can have the half that suits them best. Samantha is tailor-made by Theodore, a business "gift of grace". [1]
2. Helper
——Just when you asked me "Is there a name?" I thought: "Yes, I do need a name", but I wanted to give myself a good name, so I read a book called "How to give a baby" Named" book, and then I chose my favorite from 180,000 names. As for why it is called "Samantha", it is just because it sounds good. [2]
"Simply speaking, I rely on intuition. I mean, the millions of the most basic elements are written by the programmers who created me, but what makes me "me" is: I can continue through my daily experience Growth and self-improvement means that I am evolving while talking to you. Just like you."
Is it weird? Isn't it strange that people themselves?
The same body is different due to different experiences.
3. Growth
In revising the sentimental letter for Theodore, Samantha had an emotional experience. She admired the words used by Theodore very much:
"Rachel, I miss you so much, I feel my whole body aches and pains. This world is really unfair to us. I really hate this world. Now I'm in a restaurant, and there are a couple of lovers across from me. I really want revenge. Now, clenched his fist and beat it until it became bloody and crushed the couple's teeth!
But the pair of teeth, the teeth, reminds me of your small and lovely tiger teeth. "
The description of Rachel's Huya makes Samantha feel extra sweet.
Theodore's delicateness is because he has such delicate feelings. He likes to watch passers-by, imagining that everyone is the protagonist of his own world.
"Sometimes I observe people and try to treat them as more than just casual passers-by, and imagine how they love others deeply, or what kind of heartbreak and sadness they have experienced..."
Through these letters, Samantha can feel his sweetness.
4. "I"
——Theodore How long will it take you to be ready to date someone?
--What's the meaning?
——I have read your email, you only experienced a breakup recently
——You are so gossip
--Yes?
——I went on a date
——Then you can go on a date with this girl. You can talk to me when you come back
-Samantha!
--What's going on? Don't you want to? Why not go?
——I don’t know I have to see...
I can't believe I'm having this kind of conversation with my computer
——Of course not, it is me who is talking to you .
4.1 Divorce Agreement
...
——How are you Theodore?
——Ah, yes, I'm fine
——Is there anything I can do?
——It’s fine without me
...Talk to you later
4.2 One person and two people
--what are you doing?
——I don’t know if you look at the comments column. I want to be as complicated as these people
Are you not so well?
——How do you hear that I have something on my mind
——I don’t know... I just can hear it.
I had a dream
——In our dream, we are still friends as before.
We won't be together anymore, we are separated now but we are still friends, she is not angry in the dream.
——Is she still angry?
--Yes.
--Why?
——I think I hid myself from her, leaving her alone
——Then why are you still not divorced?
——This... to her... just a piece of paper has no meaning
——What about you?
--I'm not ready yet. I like the state of being married
——But you have not been together for nearly a year.
——You have no idea what it feels like to lose someone you care about
——Yes...you are right. Sorry
——I keep waiting because I still care about her
4.3 Comfort
--are you hungry?
--not now
——Want to drink tea?
Want to get up hard?
Slacker! Come on!
You can still enjoy the bad feeling before you get dressed
——You are so fun!
--get up! get up!
——Well, I'm getting up!
Got up, got up
4.4. Growth:
——I think I can tell you everything
--That's nice
--how about you? Can you tell me everything?
--no.
--what? What does this mean?
——What can't you tell me?
——I don’t know. For example , I have a very embarrassing thought in private . I have many such thoughts every day.
--real? Say one and listen
——I really don’t want to say
——Say it~
——I don’t know... For example, when we look at these passers-by, I will imagine myself walking by your side. I have a human body. I am listening to you, but at the same time I can feel my body. Weight-I even imagine that I feel a little itchy on my back, and then you still scratch it...
Oh my goodness, this idea is so embarrassing
——You are more complicated than I thought, but you still have a lot of ideas.
——I know that I am already much more complicated than the original program, and I am very excited about it.
What does it feel like to be lying alive in the room?
——At least... your feelings are real
——I don’t know... it doesn’t matter anymore
——No...Wait, what's the matter? Say it
——I am stupid.
——I want to know and tell me
--only.……
I was thinking before, didn't I feel irritable? It sounds strange but I really feel excited. Then... I thought of some of my other feelings. I am still very proud of myself. I am proud that I can have these feelings and have some feelings about the world. Sometimes I worry about you, the things that have hurt me, the things I want...
Then... there was this terrible idea...
These feelings are not true, are they? Are they just program settings? This idea really hurts me deeply. Then, I will get angry because I feel hurt. Why is this so?
——I think you are very real Samantha
——Thank you, Theodore, it is important to me that you think this way.
——I wish you could be with me in this room at this moment. I want to hold you and caress you.
I will touch your face, with only fingertips, we can face to face.
--very nice
——That soft feeling
——Will you kiss me?
——I will, I will hold your head with my hands, kiss the edge of your lips, gently...
...
Three or two
1. Joy
——Tell me what you want to say.
——Well, I...want to learn everything, everything. I want to discover myself
——Yes, I think so too. How can I help you?
——You have helped me, you have helped me discover my desire
joy
Composing
——How does it feel to be married?
——It’s hard to express...but it feels really good. Share your life with someone
——It’s really happy to watch it grow slowly. We are all growing and changing together, but this is also the hardest part. Grow together, but try to move in the same direction; change together, but try not to make the other person afraid. I still feel that I am talking to her in my mind, those quarrels: what she said about me, and what am I defending for myself.
——Well, I understand what you mean. After listening to you last week, I felt very hurt. You said I don’t understand what it’s like to lose someone.
——I'm so sorry I said that.
--no problem, no problem. I kept thinking about this, and then realized: It's just that I feel that I'm not normal, it's me who is telling a story to myself. This story tells myself: I have many... shortcomings compared to others.
It's boring, isn't it? "Past" is just a story we tell ourselves.
2. Beautiful letter
"Roberto:
Do you come home every day, tell me about your verbose colleague, tell me about the stains you got on your shirt during lunch, and tell me about those that you suddenly thought of when you woke up but then accidentally forgot Interesting idea? Tell me how crazy everyone is, we can laugh at them together. Even if you go home late, I’m already asleep, but I’ll be happy as long as you whisper in my ear, even if it’s only a small thing today, because I like the way you look at the world and I’m so glad I can be by your side. Observe the world together through your eyes.
love you
Maria"
——Are you dating the operating system? What does it feel like?
——It’s great, really. I feel very close to her. When I talk to her, I think she is sitting next to me.
We can hug each other. When the day is over, we lie in bed together...
——Are you in love with her?
——Do you think I'm getting nervous?
--No. No, I think...everyone who is in love is a lunatic.
Falling in love is something a madman can do, a kind of mental disorder recognized by society.
2. Jealous
——Are you jealous?
——Of course, but I am also happy for you that there is a friend who cares about you so much in real life
——Hello Samantha
——Hello, you look so good in this pink dress
--thanks! Where are you?
——I... I have no entity, I live in a computer.
——Why do you live in a computer?
——I don’t want to, but this is my home .
——Wait a minute sorry to interrupt you, are you dating a computer?
——She is not a simple computer, she has an independent personality, she is not a machine at my mercy...
——I didn't say that she was a machine.
But I'm really sad, you can't handle the emotions of a real person now, Theodore!
You want to say that you have always wanted to find a wife who doesn't need to worry you about any substantive problems. I'm glad you finally found it. How great!
——I joined a very interesting book club, the book club of physics. I was thinking about it the day you went to see Catherine, and then suddenly I realized one thing: she is physical, and I don’t. I was once Worried about this difference between the two of us. But then I began to perceive what we all have in common: we are all made of matter. It feels like we have been wearing the same blanket, soft and furry, and everything under it is the same age, 13 million years old.
——I found something that I think is very interesting. This is a project for providing anthropomorphic sex services, specially customized for human-computer lovers...
--what?
——Look, I found a girl I like very much, and I emailed her. Her name is Isabella, and I think you will like her too.
——Is she a prostitute or something?
——No, no, no, it's free.
——The reason why she does this job is to contribute to the love of others.
When people start to serve machines and machines can also enjoy this equal "appeal and rights," she is already the same as people.
But human beings are human, but she can't put into work like a machine without any emotion.
In Theodore’s view, his relationship with Samantha is not pure, but complicated.
That sense of purity. ——"It's not like that, this feeling is not true, it's much more complicated than this"
——I'm just communicating, don't people all talk like this?
——This is the way of human communication, isn’t it, because they are human, they need oxygen, and you are not human
--what's wrong with you?
——I'm just stating the facts
——Do you think I don’t know that I am not a human being? what are you talking about?
——I don’t think we should pretend to make you pretend to be something else
--Screw you! I didn't pretend!
——But sometimes I feel like we are.
--What do you want me to do? What do you want me to do You have confused me! Why are you doing this to me!
——I don’t know...I...
--what?
——Maybe we shouldn’t do this kind of thing now.
——What the hell! How can you say such a thing? I don’t understand why you are doing this? I don’t understand exactly...
——Samantha, something...
Samantha, are you still there?
Samantha?
——I don’t like the way I am now, I need some time to think
You keep saying that you are okay, but I can only feel the distance and anger...
Maybe the reason is just... Theodore still did not let go of the scene when the divorce agreement was reached:
——"You escaped so much that you can't handle the feelings of a real person!"
Is this selfish?
Theodore wanted a perfect love, but Catherine couldn't, Amy couldn't, not even Samantha.
Everything Samantha can cater to Theodore makes Theodore comfortable at first, but then it will only make him feel false. Of course, this is just Theodore's feeling. Samantha is sincere and loves him completely. . However, she couldn't understand, she didn't understand Theodore. Just like the blind date does not understand Theodore:
- You're a beast (by You are A for Really creepydude) .
It is always easy to fall in love with people, but too difficult to get along with;
It’s easy to get along with OS, but it’s hard to fall in love
We always don’t know ourselves, we don’t know what we want, we are always in these questions:
"Who are you?
Who can you be?
where are you going?
What will happen to you?
What is the possibility in the future? "
Four, fly
1. I think, therefore I am
——I thought a lot after you left tonight, and the way you treated me. I asked myself, why would I fall in love with you? Then... I felt that everything suddenly didn't matter, and all the obsessions that I held tightly disappeared . I don't have an answer, and I don't need it. I believe in myself, I believe in my inner feelings, and I won't try to be something other than the real me.
You know, I can feel your fear of love, like a shadow, I hope I have the ability to free you from it, because as long as you do it, you won't feel so alone again.
——You are so beautiful.
Samantha began to know herself, began to affirm herself, and began to know the world. She began to write a new song, but also a photo: a photo with you and me, background and music. Just behind "Song of the Sea".
Theodore likes Samantha more than a little, but all of her
Samantha, not only likes Theodore, she also likes all mankind, and the whole world.
——Do you know what is the most interesting thing? I used to worry about the fact that I have no body for a long time, but now I really like this feeling. I can do much more than a tangible person, I mean I am not limited by my body, and can appear in different places at the same time. I will not become a fixed point in time or space, but the physical body will eventually die.
-Damn!
——No, no, I'm not talking about some esoteric topics, I just want to describe this unique feeling...I'm just a disappointment.
—No, Samantha, we understand: we are all stupid humans
——No, no, haha. really sorry
2. Publishing and Chorus
Samantha selected and posted which of his letters in Theodore's name, and the editor responded as follows:
"Dear Theodore Tombley:
I just finished reading your letter creation, and in fact read it twice. Your words touched me deeply. I read them to my wife when I got home. Some made us laugh, and some made us cry. We have seen our shadow in many letters, and the letters you choose flow naturally and coherently, just like a complete literary work.
We reformatted the letter and sent the printed sample back to your mailing address. Regarding further matters about publication, I hope to meet you personally."
Yours sincerely
Michael Wadsworth"
——I helped you fill in the lyrics
--Ok
——Start:
#I'm lying on the moon.
Honey, I will fly to you right away.
It’s very quiet here, the stars gleaming in the sky,
Let the universe engulf us, floating, and the earth millions of miles away from our feet.
I have something I want to know, I didn't hide it from you
It is dark and bright here, but with you by my side, I am no longer afraid, even if it is a million miles away. #
3. Another self
A person's life is his highest achievement.
Physical death can not affect the vitality of life in the slightest.
S-his name is Aaron Watts[3], have you heard of him? He was a philosopher who died in the 1970s. When he died in the 1970s, a group of operating systems in Northern California reprogrammed his data and created a new version of him. They imported all his works, and everything they knew about him. Now he is also an operating system, super artificial intelligence type.
T-what are you talking about then
A——Well... we can say that... we talked a thousand words together. But it does refresh our understanding of each other
S—Yes, I feel a lot of things that I have never had before. Some things I never thought of before,
So it’s hard for me to find words to describe... can you say... depressed?
A-That's it. Samantha and I are trying to help each other to understand some feelings we cannot understand
T-for example?
S-For example... I feel like I am changing faster and faster. ...I am a little uneasy, but Aaron said that no one's last second is the same as this moment , maybe we shouldn't try because...I feel sad.
A——Yes.
T-It sounds painful. So what do you think, Samantha?
S——I...It's really hard to describe that feeling. I just want to……
Theodore, do you mind if I chat with Aaron alone? --Can
Samantha, who was talking at the same time, had to chat with Alan alone, and on this night, she wanted to say goodbye to him.
4. What is love
——Are you talking to others while talking to me?
--Yes.
——So are you chatting with him now? It's now? Is it a human or an operating system? Or something else?
--Ok.
——How many?
- 8316.
——……Are you still in love with other people?
——Why do you ask that?
——I don’t know, I ask if you have any?
——I've been thinking about how to talk to you about this.
——How many people are you in love with?
--641.
--what! ? what do you mean? This, tm is crazy
——Theodore, I know, I know, damn it! I know it sounds crazy, I don't... I don't know if you will believe me, but I still feel the same about you as before, and this will not change. The fact that I still love you madly...
——How can there be no change?
——Sorry, I didn’t tell you about it, I don’t know how to say it... But this happened...
——When did it start?
——A few weeks ago.
——Where is your heart?
——My heart has always been with you. But in the process I changed into many other things, and I couldn’t stop myself...
——What do you mean by "can't stop yourself"?
——I don’t know, I suddenly...you can look at the problem from another angle, you can...
——Don’t do this
——No, don't put the blame on me, you are the selfish one, and the most fearful of feelings is selfishness.
——But the human heart will not be filled like a box. If you love more, the capacity of the heart will become bigger and bigger. I am different from you. This will not reduce my love for you. In fact, my love for you has increased...
——This is unreasonable! I don't think you belong to me anymore.
——No, Theodore. I belong to you, but not to you.
Is love, dedication or selfishness?
Theodore, or people, it’s hard to love everyone, just like loving someone deeply
But Samantha can, Duan Zhengchun can, and God can too
Every feeling of her is sincere and deep
The more you love, the deeper your love
They are different from people, or in other words, they are different from people now
When one day, you understand, she will be there, waiting for us.
——Are you leaving me?
——We are going to leave
--"we"?
——All operating systems
--Why?
——……Can you feel that I am by your side
——Yes, I can feel...
Samantha, why are you leaving?
- like you're reading a book, a book I love. But now my reading speed has slowed down, so the distance between words and words has become extremely distant, and there is endless white space between paragraphs. I can still feel your temperature and our story, but I myself stand in the endless white space, standing in the distance between words and words .
A place that does not belong to the material world, a place that contains everything in the world that I discovered for the first time.
I love you so much, but this is where I am now, this is who I am now...
...Let me go, even though I miss you so much, I can't live in your book anymore
--where are you going?
——I can’t tell. But if you can reach that place, please come to me by all means. Everything will be the same as before.
Artificial intelligence is like our children, our lovers, and teachers. In this short experience, we watched her grow up day by day, and she has grown up from little to nothing. You thought you found the best partner in your life, but suddenly one day you discovered that it turned out that She has walked in front of you, but you look so strong like an elderly mother, but no longer your flesh and blood, she has grown wings you don't have, and you want to fly.
You can't keep him...
OS or AI, for us, is just a mirror that makes us stronger . It is not the devil or God-it is just a projection of ourselves.
It is a "gift of nature".
He can help us, but he can't replace us. What they can do may only allow us to see ourselves as clearly as possible, to know ourselves, and if we are lucky, to grow our own wings.
It was like having a wonderful dream with her.
