The AI protagonist Ava of this film has the emotional ability that surpasses the male protagonist in the film from the beginning. Correspondingly, Ava's physical ability is very poor, which is no different from ordinary weak women. . So this kind of alternative created my initial illusion of Ava - she is a harmless AI, she came into this world without knowing good and evil, and every word of her is sincere and from the heart. Of course in the end we found out that she was a very scheming woman, yes woman, and when I saw her as a human like us, the whole story became very simple. A woman with great skills seduces an inexperienced interrogator to get her freedom, kills the warden and runs away.
It doesn't make much sense to discuss ethical issues here, because Ava's dual identity as an AI and at the same time as a fully human emotion will inevitably lead to some contradictions. It doesn't make sense to take sides after the movie and think who's right.
=================================================
Here I think Let's talk about the plot.
In order for Ava to finally achieve her goal, the director can be said to have deliberately arranged such two opponents with extremely weak emotional abilities. A technical otaku has zero resistance to showing affection to a girl; another technical otaku, immersed in arrogance, thinks he has everything in his hands. Come to think of it, if Nathen hired two Chinese aunts to be babysitters, she wouldn't have to kill Ava for a minute.
