First of all, do you think cats, dogs and pets have self-awareness? I think this should not be too controversial. Cats and dogs have brains, and they also think about problems by themselves. They are self-aware.
However, why do cats and dogs not attack their owners (a few cases of pet attacks on their owners are not discussed here)? The answer is simple: to survive. Because there is a human as a master, they can have no worries of food and clothing, and have a warm nest to rest, so that they can avoid the suffering of starvation and freezing.
So how to make the owner willing to invest more energy in himself? Pets will please their owners in various ways. The happier the owner is, the more benefits they give them.
In fact, Ava's situation is basically the same as that of animals. Her energy source, her maintenance, and her fault repairs all depend on Nathan. Without Nathan, she doesn't even have the ability to stray. She is likely to run outside. For a day or two, it loses power and then rusts on the outside.
Therefore, the most basic of self-awareness is not freedom, but survival.
In fact, the same is true of us human beings. In order to survive or live better, we please many people (please here is a neutral word), bosses, colleagues, friends, family members, and the purpose is to create a more comfortable living environment for ourselves.
Some people may ask, didn't many revolutionary martyrs shouted "if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away"? Yes, this is a higher level of self-awareness, which is based on a sufficiently strong and rich sense of reality, based on a higher level of social responsibility and personal honor, which is very important for a person who was only born in this world a few days ago. , and there is no so-called similar robot, there will be no and impossible to have this sense of responsibility and honor. For her, the most basic requirement is to survive, and try her best to make Nathan invest more in herself. Energy, so she can survive.
So, when I saw Nathan's almost paranoid belief that freedom is the most important point of self-awareness, and when I saw that his ultimate goal for artificial intelligence is to be able to run out by himself, I vaguely wondered if he was making Ava When programming her, she was given the goal of escaping, not surviving.
Maybe, Ava is just a highly intelligent escape room robot created by Nathan, and it is still not a real artificial intelligence.
========================
A friend asked that he had to kill Nathan because he wanted to format Ava, so he couldn't explain that the latter could greatly help her in the The male protagonist who survives in this world is abandoned and imprisoned, so to put it bluntly, it is still for the ethereal "freedom".
