neXt with new wine in old vinegar bottles

It's been a long time since I saw an American drama with artificial intelligence as the protagonist, but there are quite a lot of supporting roles. After the popularity of Star Trek, the master of the spacecraft will not be ashamed to meet people without humor. But once they become the protagonist, they are basically bad guys. The wolf mother raised or called Alien Cataclysm is the only two robot protagonists who are kind-hearted (and the other is Moss who wanders the earth). Other HA2000, Skynet, Hawkeye, AWS, ALLC, etc. are all evil who want to kill or destroy the world.

It is said that this show is an old vinegar bottle, because he did not break away from the artificial intelligence trilogy, that is, three steps: birth, mutiny, and evil. The first episode was just on stage, I didn't see his ultimate goal, but he had already started killing people in order to hide himself. The beautiful FBI inspector, the white-haired Musk technical master, and a pair of handsome father and son are basically standard for this kind of sci-fi drama.

It is said to be a new wine, because this time the screenwriter proposed a new concept, an artificial intelligence that can improve its intelligence by 5-10% (sic, smarter) by rewriting its own program, and it will naturally become a thousand times smarter after self-evolution tens of thousands of times. To say that screenwriters are not very knowledgeable, in fact, artificial intelligence breakthroughs mainly rely on high-level neural networks with powerful floating-point computing capabilities, machine learning, and millions of parameters are self-learning. But it doesn't matter, screenwriter, that's naturally more capable than programming.

The following spoilers: First, the key witnesses of the FBI beauty detective were accidentally sent to the ICU by a string of people. He followed the vine to find the white-haired Musk, who had just been kicked out of the company by his younger brother, and went back to the headquarters to find out. As a result, the younger brother saw the FBI and persuaded them to check the company's top secret, non-networked neXt. The detective found that a fat farmer was abnormal, and it happened that the white-haired Musk used the embedded subroutine to forcefully delete neXt but was expelled. . . . Through a low-looking dual-antenna NETGEAR wireless router, of course, this was bribed by the fat coder to sneak in (how does the unconnected machine know that the fat coder is in debt? Even if he is taught to gamble online, the fat coder is not bound by the agreement Install a router, what can I do? So the logic here is not very logical).

The second is the son of a handsome single-parent who was bullied at school. neXt got the child through a smart speaker (this is indeed a bit new, and it is not difficult for a minor to use a smart speaker PUA), and asked him to open his father's safe to get a gun.

Third, there is another branch, the relationship between the white-haired Musk and his daughter, the story that he has already suffered from insomnia and will die soon.

Why do you say that this show is a bit new? The main problem is still too much, no main conflict, no suspense, no emotion. Naked storytelling, neXt should have copied itself to the cloud three weeks ago, but doing these murderous things now feels like it is just to hide its own existence. The self-driving vehicles were hacked, the servers were hacked, the medical equipment was hacked, and other killing methods. Movies such as Hawkeye have done enough horror, that is, the black smart speakers keep pace with the times. Therefore, those who watch it will feel that sincerity is lacking, there is too much fried rice, and it is easy to give up chasing dramas.

Now I can only see if the second episode can turn the corner. If you pile up plots and mess around with special effects (actually nothing), it's probably going to be rotten again.
