In the dialogue between the computer and David at the end of the film, the computer said "I am very happy to continue working together" and said "Did I complete the task?" David replied, "Very good." Several problems are reflected here. 1. After the computer creator restarted the computer, he asked the computer that the performance of the computer was completely devoid of any previous memory, and claimed that he did not know who David was, so why did it panic? 2. After the computer has been acting stupid and cooperating with humans, it still "completes the task very well", then what is the task David gave the computer? 3. What is the purpose of the last message that David asked the computer to send to the earth, "You can go except Callisto"? Why did he say this at the last moment? 4. David mentioned that he was "authorized" to inform them to leave early, which means that David is no longer just a "person". When David sent a message to the actor through the computer, the computer answered that he did not know who the other party was, and finally The conversation between David and the computer showed that the computer knew about David. At this time, did the computer still cooperate and obey him to complete the task when it knew that the other party was not the real "David". If so, how does the computer understand all this.
