A journey of self-awakening

Thaddeus 2022-03-25 09:01:23

From the birth of tima to knowing kenichi, and kenichi's face when he asked tima "who are you", to being told that it is a robot, it is presupposed that the robot will have self-awareness, and realize the relationship between human and robot. When the awakening of her self-consciousness means the difference in the essence of existence and the rupture of the relationship between her and kenichi, "the question of where did she come from" bothers her, when she asks "who am I?" It means that she has to find herself again; kenichi is building a bridge between people and robots through "love". In the end, the ending means that love is not omnipotent, and the gap between living things and non-living things can never be solved, but still There is hope, and without hope one cannot survive.
