Why was Gary Smith selected for this test in the first place? It is revealed in the film that the boss made his choice through Gary Smith's online search records. Knowing who you are by what you want to search for is actually achievable right now, scary, but hard to avoid. We will have less privacy, but not require us to be more authentically ourselves no matter the circumstances.
At first, I thought the boss was a problematic character, and even thought he might be a robot, but I didn't expect that everything was just under his calculations, but he didn't want to be calculated by both humans and robots in the end. The robots in the movie eventually developed into consciousness. Although they are still mechanical and electronic, they have certain emotions, such as wanting to be free and want to go out, instead of being trapped in a small room like slaves , was tested. A very important sign that robots are conscious is that they can like and be liked by humans, whether the emotion is real or fake, and Gary Smith was deceived by the emotion of the robot, if the other party is a human being, this Everything is well explained, but the fact that the other party is a robot is creepy and frightening.
What will happen when robots enter human society? This is also reflected in other movies, which may appear to be normal humans on the surface, only to be found to be robots under certain circumstances. And the whole society will also undergo drastic changes, and there may be two different systems for humans and robots. This is a bit like the period of apartheid in the past, but eventually the two social systems will merge into one, and then robots and humans may become Not that big of a difference anymore. Of course, this is only a good case.
