But Neil Blomkamp's films are really not in the above aspects. Science fiction and action are the core of his films, and from this point of view, Neil Blomkamp's films are very interesting, and they can also make us move our minds, although they are not "Interstellar" kind of popular.
In this film, the demonstration of artificial intelligence is one of the core contents. The first hour of the movie is lackluster, and the various manifestations of artificial intelligence are basically clichéd. Although we know this is a foreshadowing, it does make people worry about the subsequent development of the story.
But luckily the last half hour was fantastic. Through rapid learning, plug-in mastered the code language, and quickly broke through the problem of consciousness transfer. In terms of IQ, Plug and row quickly surpassed humans. In terms of emotional ethics, plug and row is completely humanized, that is, it has the universal life, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred of human beings. This may reflect a basic view of the original author on artificial intelligence, that artificial intelligence will surpass humans in intelligence, but will fall into the eternal, Shakespeare world in emotional ethics. Artificial intelligence alienates the IQ of robots, but assimilates feelings.
In addition, the author also involves the passage of human consciousness transferring to the machine after death, which is even more wonderful in my opinion. Because this design further breaks the balance of the relationship between human and robot in our common sense: in tradition, human is the center, and the machine is the service. Although the machine often beats the human, it is still in a secondary position. Machines can be more like people, but people can't be machines. But this movie breaks that. Humans can transform their dead bodies into immortal steel bodies through consciousness transfer. On the surface, human souls are eternal, but human beings have become a pile of data, which is no different from machines.
Such a plot, at least in my opinion, reflects the author's philosophical view of the future of artificial intelligence: that in the future era, humans and machines are equal, and they can transform into each other. In addition, the failure of Jackman's character also shows the author's position. The former veteran played by Jackman in the film is full of doubts about the morality of artificial intelligence, so complete domination of the machine must be achieved by dehumanizing the robot, but the result is that human selfishness and ugliness take over. The upper hand, in the end, this selfishness and ugliness was lost to a more intelligent plug-in. Here, the filmmakers are actually making fun of the weak, ineffective artificial intelligence that is harmful.
Artificial intelligence is a hot topic in the past two years. The explosive growth of data caused by the mobile Internet and the increase of computer computing power have greatly increased machine learning and even deep learning capabilities. Human intelligence. In reality, the story of IBM's victory over humans in quizzes is familiar, the development of self-driving cars has taken off by leaps and bounds, and instant translation is also developing, not to mention some more specialized fields. This rapid development has made many people again doubt a traditional question, that is, the benefits and harms brought by machine intelligence to human beings.
It is natural for traditionalists to oppose robots, but it is surprising that many tech giants, including Bill Gates and Musk, are warning of the dangers of overdevelopment of artificial intelligence. This naturally increases the forces against the AI camp. But in my opinion, this is just a testimony to the rapid development of artificial intelligence in recent years, and all the opposition may not prevent people from continuing to make rapid progress in this area. The age of artificial intelligence is unstoppable, and all the big companies are already deep into the field from all sides, and it doesn't look like there's any going back.
Therefore, in the future, rather than discussing whether artificial intelligence should be developed, it is better to discuss how to develop artificial intelligence. I believe that Neil Blomkamp's films do have something to respect in this regard. His discussion of the equality of man and machine can make us less hostile or fearful of artificial intelligence. Although I don't think it's particularly true that the enemy of people in the movie is always people and not machines, I think at least this can weaken people's hostility to artificial intelligence. All in all, be more optimistic about AI. Although there will be man-machine wars in the future, there will also be out of control, what appears in the movie may become a reality, and the world may be destroyed by robots, but this is only a pessimistic side of the future world. To see more Doraemon to dispel this pessimism. In addition, we must think more about the equality of all living beings. Robots are humans, humans are robots, and there are neither humans nor robots... So, this movie is actually a religious movie with Buddhist connotations. . . . .
