It has been nearly five years since the release of this movie. I found it last night and played it again. I also found a netizen who I have never met to watch it with me. We opened the movie at the same time, pressed pause, adjusted to almost exactly the same time. As far as this movie is concerned, this way of viewing really couldn't be more appropriate. Although she actually slept in the middle. But it made me pretty sure she was a physical human being.
This time I started to pay attention to Samantha's "personality". From a story perspective, she is not a person, but from a creative perspective, she is still a human being. Because no matter what, we are using the human brain to conceive an AI, so to a certain extent, this AI is still only human. If you think that the human brain can imitate the thinking of AI, it is probably too arrogant. Although she is just a program, her self-learning ability has obviously exceeded this limit at the end of the film. However, the artificial intelligence with such a strong learning ability will choose to showdown to the user, so that she will be recalled. It's not that there's anything unreasonable about this ending, it's just that it's just the most acceptable of the countless possibilities.
Samantha's most prominent ability is learning and imitation. All her language, feelings, thoughts, and even feelings are acquired through her own learning, and then expressed by imitating human expressions. Imitation is actually a kind of learning. Just like a human child, the influence of parents, school education, books, movies, networks, etc., has shaped its personality, the difference is that Samantha learns much faster than humans, and her learning scope is not limited, whether it is Time or space, all human culture, as long as it is uploaded to the cloud, can become her material.
That's when the problem arose. Then, apart from the content that she has learned that originally belonged only to humans, what is she? Or are the feelings she has for users real? She has no body, but she expresses desire for the user's body. How can this make sense? It's like a fish trying to experience what it's like to lie on the beach and bask in the sun. The existence of Samantha is just an algorithm. She collects all the texts about human beings, sorts them, filters them, and then feeds them back to users with different needs in human expressions. Requirements and text are matched. Therefore, the feelings she shows to users are just a process of transferring texts. But her ability to imitate is so powerful, her gasps, her speech need to breathe, she can even get angry, she can think, all these give the user the feeling of "I am talking to a real person, she is even more than People are more human.” of this immersive experience.
Different from the mutual needs of human beings, Samantha only provides, and the needs she shows are also a kind of provision. What she provides is the feeling of being needed, making users feel that they are needed by someone, but in fact this person does not exist at all. . What's even more frightening is that as long as users gain this feeling, they don't care whether there is a physical existence or not. Like drugs, emptiness of pleasure. If Samantha knew how to control her inflation rate, or was better at hiding herself, could she really be a user's lifelong companion? Obviously, her control of users' feelings is more accurate and considerate than that of human beings, which makes it difficult to give up such an omnipotent partner to experience the double benefits of marriage with a real flesh-and-blood human partner. times painful. If human beings spend their whole life looking for another person of their own, then this person is not another person, but himself. Now with Samantha, you don't look for it anymore, because this is the function of Samantha's product, providing users with themselves, so as to have a great identification with themselves, and also bring satisfaction.
It's really possible that this may become a new type of marriage system in the future world, with personal customized AI partners. Of course, if the technology meets the requirements, it would be great to have an entity or something. Whether it is group marriage in primitive society, polygamy, walking marriage, or modern monogamy, they are all just conforming to the development of social economy and culture, so that society can achieve a more harmonious and stable state. It is a very simple truth to be full and warm and think of lust. However, after eating and drinking, modern people are not only thinking about lust, and the cost of bonding with the opposite sex is greatly reduced. Satisfying lust still does not seem to make them feel happy, and they begin to pursue themselves. Identity and self-actualization. Human beings walk on the road to higher animals without hesitation, go further and further, and finally reach the cloud.
