Someone gives you a friend, but you don’t feel the friendship;

Someone gives you a lover, but you don’t feel love;

Someone gives you a house, but you don’t feel the family;

Someone gives you money, but you don’t feel rich;

【story】

In the future New York, an old man who is forgetful, thievery, and has a weird temper will live alone in a detached house in the suburbs. The room is messy and looks like he has no love. He is the protagonist Frank.

Frank has a daughter who travels around and a son who is very busy. In leisure time, go to the library in the center of the town to tease girls. But you will forget what you are doing...

The sister half left the library and wanted to go to Harry's shop... Life can be said to be a mess and no one takes care of it. Her son hurried back from the outside and gave Frank a robot, VGC-60L (small V), to take care of the elderly. Frank doesn't think he needs this ghost thing

The son told him that he should either accept the robot’s care or send it to the elderly center. Frank had no choice but to accept the robot, but he was cold-eyed.

Frank suffered in the days when he disliked Little V, until one day when they came to the soap shop, Frank could not change his little habit of stealing, and sneaked a piece of soap and was discovered by the shop owner...

Frank quietly put back the little thing he had just stolen and escaped...

Who knows, on the way home, Frank found the small soap that was put back today in his bag. It turned out that Little V helped Frank "take" back what Frank wanted to take...

Knowing that Little V will not be bound by "laws", Frank tested the strength of Little V by teaching unlocking. Little V is talented...

At the same time, Frank also revealed his previous identity, a powerful professional thief. But he only steals the wealth of the rich (very professional and principled)...

Knowing V's talent for stealing and its unscrupulous ability to cooperate with him, Frank decided to take V to try the water and steal the classic paper books in the library. Step on, plan, implement, all in one go...

After the first successful theft, Frank seemed to have found a new motivation in his life, and soon he planned a new theft plan. Little V stopped him, but Frank succeeded in persuading Little V to continue...

It seems that Frank's new goal of regaining a new life points to the upper echelons who were about to close the old library. Frank planned carefully and enjoyed it. He was even so excited that he could play with the little V...

However, Frank's daughter came unexpectedly. She thought that her father was very lonely with the robot, so she came to accompany her personally and shut down the little V...

Frank’s daughter shared with her father her interesting experience of traveling abroad, and Frank also found it very “interesting”

What did I do wrong in my last life...

With the company of his closest relatives and shutting down the boring machine that he wanted to shut down this morning, what will Frank experience next? Do you live a happy life with your daughter? Still ignoring the daughter's opposition to restarting the small V? Can the second theft plan be implemented successfully? ...

[Butterfly Wants Funtasee]

AI artificial intelligence is a topic that will never get bored, just like all stories eventually return to "people", AI is just another carrier that embodies humanity in the story.

In the biblical story, God created man in his image; in reality, man has been searching for his own appearance and trying to create artificial intelligence like human beings according to his own image.

In October 2017, Sofia became a citizen of Saudi Arabia. This is the world's first robot to obtain citizenship.

The day when AI enters our lives is getting closer. Regardless of the devastating impact that AI will have on human society after it awakens, at least at the beginning, AI will only be a tool for humans.

Science fiction love released in the United States on December 13, 1999

Film, adapted from the novel by well-known science fiction writer Isaac Asimov

What is this tool used for? Serving tea and water, running on the road, carrying bags...all physical labor seems to be able to be done for us by intelligent robots.

Thinking deeper, the reason why humans need tools is essentially because things that are not easy to do themselves can be done relatively easily with the help of tools.

"Machine Butler"

What else do humans need besides tools to share physical labor? Satisfaction, sense of accomplishment, self-esteem, feeling of being cared for, feeling of being cared for...may come from a look in eyes, an applause, a scream, the emotions these other people give to you require your continuous efforts to benefit the people at the time and place. Only in the case of peace, it is possible to realize these visions. So if there is a tool for you to get it quickly, would you use this tool?

An American sci-fi romance film written and directed by Spike Jones in 2013. It tells the romantic relationship between a man and a female voice developed by artificial intelligence. It is Jones’s first solo screenwriter.

"HER"

When most of the "emotions" can also be obtained through tools, then people and people

The distance may really be farther and farther; and the design of AI will naturally be designed to be more and more "human", giving people more and more intimacy.

The sequel to the 1982 movie "Blade Runner", its director Ridley Scott served as the executive producer in the film

How can people truly connect with each other? How to really care about a person instead of just talking about "love"?

"Blade Runner 2049"

The future will be realized by human hands. What the world lacks, someone will naturally invent something.

However, if there is a machine like a small V to accompany you, it would be quite interesting, isn't it?
