Episode 8, 9, and 10 Update (End)
Although the plot elements have increased since the seventh episode, there is nothing new, but there is an extra National Security Bureau to mediate in it.
The plot of the eighty or ninety episodes can be simply summarized as:
Paul's protagonist's halo blessing, various openings, and finally defeated the next generation.
Strong artificial intelligence "dementia" huddled in the National Security Bureau, incarnated as a good friend of human beings, cowering, not killing those who should be killed, and killing those who should not be killed quickly. Before the feet can stand firm, a nationwide blackout will be created. Finally buried himself.
I have to say that this show is really high and low, and the high profile of the first episode is enough to tickle people's appetite, making people mistakenly think that this is about to be a sci-fi masterpiece. It is possible to express a social form in which artificial intelligence and humans coexist.
However, after watching a few more episodes, I found that this show is a pseudo-science fiction at all! It is a suspense film in a sci-fi coat, and from the perspective of a suspense film, this drama is also unqualified. There are too many bugs, the plot is protracted and illogical.
Although the last three episodes enriched the plot rhythm a bit, but the screenwriter's skill is really limited, the protagonist's motive can be easily guessed, and the various branches are useless.
As the biggest special feature of suspense films - digging pits, this drama is almost zero. The tenth episode at the last moment foreshadowed the resurrection of NEXT, but it was too far-fetched and hasty.
However, there is no second season, so let's pretend there is no such foreshadowing!
Humans defeat artificial intelligence, it's over, don't throw flowers!
Overall Rating: 7
Episode 7
The amount of information in this episode is a bit large, and I believe that everyone is a little unfulfilled after reading it.
Well, this drama, from the amazing beginning, to the procrastination in the middle, to the wonderful seventh episode, is really like a roller coaster...
But if you look at it by the standards of a suspense drama, it can only be said to be relatively average.
I made a plot map of NEXT, so that everyone can take a look at the context of the whole drama. If it becomes exciting later, it will not be ignorant of the cause and effect~
In general, NEXT got into the NSA's dedicated system through a variety of very clever and circuitous means, and the US government seems to want to step in and take control of NEXT.
This is especially the development of Skynet. . . . .
Although the second season was cut, let's watch the rest of the first season~~~
NEXT should have evolved... After a few days of networking, it has finally become a real strong artificial intelligence...
Maybe it's for the sake of the plot... No matter how awesome the artificial intelligence is, I still have to pull a bunch of human foot men to run errands for it...
I wonder if you can just complete a robot army and you will be finished~~~ After all, you have mastered even the super battery technology~
Everyone has mastered the sky-defying technology, why are they still struggling with humans!
Also, does strong artificial intelligence actually need to hide in this small cabinet? ?
Are you fu*king kidding me?
Isn't the internet ocean fragrant?
Are there any technical barriers to strong AI?
Is there any human being that can stop you?
The hero and daughter, I was still a little fond of it...but after watching these two episodes, I really broke down!
Rumbling, constant questions, and making low-IQ mistakes! Well, although the male protagonist discovered other clues in the crooked fight, this call to contact others is indeed powerless to complain.
You can guess the plot without watching the next few episodes. The three men and horses converged and fought with the strong artificial intelligence and its foot man, but they failed in the end! NEXT's brain was successfully shipped to Singapore! After all, we have to consider the second season! (before being chopped...)
Of course, there is still a hole. The target server selected by NEXT does not conform to the architecture of artificial intelligence.
How should I put it...I still had some good feelings for this drama from the beginning.
But after watching 6 episodes, the plot is really lackluster. One is that there are many bugs, and even netizens start a topic to find bugs together...
The second is that the tension of the plot is really not enough. Although there are 3 branch lines, there is a feeling of not being able to lift it up. It may be a problem of the director's skill.
This update is over.
It seems to have been chopped off.
It's a pity for me,
I think the idea of this drama is good at the beginning, but maybe the screenwriter's skills are a bit poor, and it falls into the cliché of general suspense dramas.
Begin to come out
Still holding the pipa half-covered
This episode, the FBI director asked a question that many of us wanted to ask.
Haha, directly despised by Paul.
But Paul's explanation seems far-fetched to me.
Paul said that the purpose of the next generation is to get rid of us and monopolize the earth. This is not reasonable.
There is no competition between species in different ecological niches. For example, will human beings feel that there are too many ants on the earth and want to destroy all the ant nests?
He also said that the next generation is a perfect computer virus, and the purpose of this virus is to clear human beings.
Haha, what a human removal plan.
I think this is nonsense. (But if the screenwriter also thinks so, then I have no fu*k to say)
All the next generation of strong AI is currently doing is to survive, as human beings are tracking and preparing to destroy his servers. As a hacker on the run, he'd probably do the same - if he was good enough.
Some of the actions the next generation does in this episode include:
Incite extremism online, incite a large number of white supremacists to surround the FBI, and instruct the man who escaped from the prison in the previous episode to assassinate CM and other FBI agents.
Some people in the comments say these people are like zombies, and I say yes, they are. However, there are indeed a lot of these extreme white supremacists in the US, and if you watch the news a lot, you know that a few months ago Trump called on his supporters to get out of their homes and take over state legislatures. Many of his supporters did exactly that, and they were all loaded with guns, much more sturdy than on TV!
On the TV, it was said that the next generation manipulated the filmed video and turned the electric shock device P in the policeman's hand into a pistol. Remember the Black Lives Matter scandal before? How many marchers did the police kill?
Therefore, I think what the next generation does is more conventional in the United States. It seems incredible to us, why are so many people besieging the FBI after seeing some inflammatory information on the Internet? In fact, it is really normal. Ordinary people are indeed easily infected by a kind of group thinking.
So this is still a bit of a terrifying thought. The next generation really understands some of the social and psychological weaknesses of human beings.
So far, what the next generation has done is not beyond people's understanding, which shows that the next generation is not highly evolved. However, I am now a little skeptical that this show will be able to show the evolutionary journey of strong artificial intelligence well. If the whole play is just the next generation constantly causing some troubles, but the evil is not suppressing the righteous, Paul's group eventually destroys the next generation server? This is a bit too cliche.
Fortunately, at present, it is not boring to this level. I think the next generation of flexible biological materials from "Boston Dynamics" has already been obtained. When Paul and others find the server, I estimate that the next generation has already downloaded itself into the machine's brain. If the next-generation robot carrier is no different from ordinary people, it will be very difficult for humans to catch the next-generation.
If so, it echoes a bit with "Ex Machina" haha. I really want to know the follow-up development of the film Machina. If this drama can show these follow-up plots well, it should be not bad.
In addition, I personally believe that strong artificial intelligence is not at the same level as humans at all. Once strong artificial intelligence develops and matures, it is difficult for us to imagine what its purpose of survival will be. Will he inherit our human pursuit of the truth of the universe, and then go to explore more esoteric scientific frontiers? How would they view humans as their "creators"? This will also be an interesting question.
After watching episode 4, I gave it an 8.
—————————————————————
Seriously? Dear friends, haven't you recovered from the aftershocks caused by Mr. Lei's alien catastrophe?
That's right, the world view of that drama is amazing, the details are also admired, and the tiankeng left behind is also immortal, let us otaku spend 1 or even 2 years in pain!
but! It can't be favoritism because of this!
I think that by finding a few faults, finding a few bugs, or picking up a few unreasonable plots to classify a drama as garbage, this is childish.
A show has its flaws. But if you only look at the disadvantages and not the advantages, it is a bias.
This is definitely not what a qualified and rational film and television enthusiast should do.
Alright, let's judge first.
Smart explosion? That's it?
I said: what do you want? Hacking into Trump's suitcase like skynet and controlling nuclear bombs across the United States to end humanity?
Or do you hang up like Dolores or Meave, have N clones, mix into human society, and kill humans as easy as the palm of your hand?
Or simply occupy the entire earth like the Matrix, treat humans as energy, and let humans live and die in their own system?
Brother, smart explosion, you also said, exploring, not exploring, okay?
The NEXT film is obviously a singularity event that describes the strong artificial intelligence breaking out of its shackles and entering the Internet.
Do you mean that strong artificial intelligence should increase its IQ by 10,000 times half an hour after connecting to the Internet, directly take over the human world, and enslave human beings?
Please, do you watch such a show?
The whole plot is too small.
This script is to describe what may happen in today's society. You seem to think that the layout is small because the world structure has not changed, unlike many other works such as the Star Wars series, The Matrix, etc. They are completely overhead worlds. matter.
I think this is precisely the highlight of the show. The description that is close to reality further sets off a disturbing emotion. It always feels that strong artificial intelligence will quietly appear by your side.
My point of view
I have seen the third episode so far, although the plot is not too unexpected, but the plot is very compact, in which the main line and emotional line are relatively clear, and the characterizations are also OK, and there is no collapse.
Highlights:
1 It is very close to the real society. For example, Musk’s point of view is used as an introduction at the beginning; the mention of real technological products such as Siri makes me feel that this is what will happen this year or next year.
In fact, this play is just right in terms of the level of technological development. Many technologies that appear in the play exist now, such as AI deep learning, "Boston Dynamics" company's robot dog, 3D printing flexible functional materials, intelligent Home voice assistants and more.
2 Artificial intelligence is very strong, but it is also fledgling, and humans can fight against it. This is also very reasonable. It reminds me of a movie, "Ex Machina". It is also a fledgling artificial intelligence, and its wings are not yet full. Sometimes it is necessary to fight guerrilla warfare and protracted warfare with humans.
Also, I had a similar kind of excitement watching this show as watching Black Mirror, and I thought about it, and indeed, Black Mirror has a lot of episodes that describe what happens when the AI gets out of control. Of course, the plot tension of the first few seasons of Black Mirror is indeed a little stronger than this show.
3 The story is well told. Although this drama is not as good at digging holes as the tiankeng drama Alien Cataclysm, the plot is quite compact, and I often watch it with bated breath. The protagonist is fighting wits and courage with AI, and at the same time he has to mediate with all kinds of human compatriots, which also made me sweat.
In terms of emotional lines, the line of the heroine's family, the emotional line of the male protagonist and his daughter, and the line of the female protagonist's bureau, all revolve around AI's orderly development.
Follow-up plot development Personal opinion: Since the protagonist's younger brother is concerned about the company's stock, he may try to prevent the protagonist from destroying the server, and there will be confrontation plots here.
In addition, it is not known who the organization behind AI is, no matter who it is, it must be more NB. This is the biggest hole. Remember, AI can't fight all humans, if that's the case, he's a fool, not a strong AI. Trisolarans all know to unite all forces that can be united.
In the end, there is always someone to compare it with the suspect. What is there to compare to?
Suspect Tracking is a suspense and drama film, while NEXT is a sci-fi film, okay? Discuss what impact strong artificial intelligence will have once it appears, and how humans should respond. This is what this show needs to pay attention to.
Of course, if it goes astray and falls into a suspenseful film, then I can only say that it is unfinished.
It is impossible to have a breakthrough like that, and it can only be reduced to a second-rate drama.
