Like Blade Runner, the film focuses on the identities and emotions of robots. (Strictly speaking, the ones in Blade Runner are not called robots) It is interesting to have the following questions.
1. What was Lu Sheng's understanding of Sami at the beginning? How will a human android that is indistinguishable from a female body in appearance make people get along with it?
Lu Sheng is worried that he will surpass himself by learning the piano (the matter of learning the piano will be discussed later), and he does not like her to carry out activities behind his back, but he obviously uses her as a subject similar to human beings to communicate with him. Words and actions respond.
In fact, if robots can generate emotions and emotions like the setting in the film, does desire also have correspondingly? The copying of consciousness must not be just one aspect, only a complete plan can restore some things.
Then a robot that has emotions and human desires and obeys human commands can very well meet human needs for partners. It's a pity that such films generally don't discuss the generation mechanism, anyway, it generally tells you that the author believes that androids have feelings. But here is a question, is it possible for an android with human desires and emotions to follow the three laws of robots at the same time? How can a setting with such low-level importance not affect the development of android's emotions and desires? They should not develop the "same" emotional and desire experience as human beings, and it is impossible for human beings to obtain the same experience as them. I think this can be called "difference", which cannot be erased nor avoided. This is just like we still like to talk about cultural diversity, clearly shouting for diversity, but also pretending to treat everyone equally, claiming that all we see are people, it seems that people are stripped of various layers of people. After being human's attributes and identity, there is an essential "human nature" in general. We also want to play this trick when we talk about the relationship between android and people. In fact, if this difference is stripped away, there will be no "humanity" or "robot nature" that can be shared. Compassion should not overshadow discussions of possibility.
2. About the emotion of talking about the piano. Lu Sheng said that he gave up on himself after listening to the robot's emotions, and he was also afraid that Sammy would learn the piano and make himself useless. The focus of the film is more like the so-called human beings afraid of being captured by robots, which seems to be completely replaceable. But I think there are some questions that need to be answered here first.
First of all, how do we perceive these emotional activities that we think are unique to human, and how do we judge whether a performance contains emotions? Are we substituting repertoire to imagine playing? But most people have no playing experience at all, so in fact, most people don't "really know" to judge whether they have feelings? Here, I think most of the layman's experience is to capture the "feeling" of the performer through the physical and psychological reactions that are stimulated by the performance itself. That is, we project the emotions that we have because of the music on the performer. As for the performance that gives us a certain emotional experience, I don't think it necessarily corresponds to the emotion given by the performer himself. But there are so many things I'm not sure about in this question, things are hard to deal with and have to be left alone.
Secondly, we can all accept the way of cd, mp3 to restore performance without feeling that it is "not a human performance", but we are very concerned about a robot on the scene instead of restoring "human performance" through other media. Is there just no analogy here or is there some difference I'm overlooking?
