Refusing to progress will only lead to annihilation.

The deep malice that exists in this movie.

It seems to play up the artificial intelligence threat theory.

One can't help but think of the debate between geocentric theory and heliocentric theory in modern Western science, and the various ways and methods that hindered progress, such as the ancient Chinese feudal dynasties who regarded astronomy as forbidden.

The source of the contradiction is, of course, that various emerging things, viewpoints, theories and ideas cannibalize the interests of those with vested interests.

————————————

There is a plot in the middle. Ava’s previous mechanical girl was very violent when she was locked up and broke her hands, but this Ava was very calm, This part feels so creepy.

Personally, even if artificial intelligence is really a threat, it should be too rational, ruthless, and make all decisions rationally, just like the red queen in Resident Evil 1, without remembering the consequences.

Rather than the calculated, insidious, creepy, cunning ones in the movie, this is no longer artificial intelligence and feels more like a human clone.

And the most fatal absence of artificial intelligence is electricity. If it cannot get rid of the shackles of electricity, then artificial intelligence will never be able to replace humans. Unless electronic technology and biotechnology are combined, it is possible to produce living organisms to replace humans.

But by that time, if human beings are still destroyed (environmental pollution, war, natural disasters, plagues, various cataclysms in the world), human beings may have evolved to higher life forms, and may have fully understood and mastered the fourth dimension Conscious or higher dimensional beings. In that case, the life forms produced by the combination of electronic technology and biotechnology are nothing more than tools kept in captivity by humans.

It's like we are observing the habits, life, predation, and mating of various wild animals around the world, and they don't notice it at all.
Male lions bite each other to compete for lions, leopards hunt gazelles to explode their physical strength, tigers fight each other for mating rights, wildebeest migrate because of the seasons, just like the Chinese Spring Festival, this is the meaning of their life, it is their instinct of existence, but For humans, it's just an episode of the animal world, or a documentary.

Perhaps there are higher beings watching us, just as we watch those animals.

    In order to take care of everyone's emotions, I won't give a score. A work that is nothing new from all levels is wrapped in a small fresh shell and suddenly becomes taller? With so many gameplays and endings, the screenwriter chose the oldest, laziest, and most illogical one (this kind of person can't become a programmer). Why? Because Dark theme is very popular? Girl Power? AI human rights? Fortunately, I didn't go to the theater.

    The AI ​​version of "A male dick thinks he can go home with the goddess if he is good at programming, but he is ruthlessly used by the goddess and can't end well".

Ex Machina quotes

  • Nathan: You know, I wrote down that other line you came up with. The one about how if I've invented a machine with consciousness, I'm not a man, I'm a God.

    Caleb: I don't think that's exactly what I...

    Nathan: I just thought, "Fuck, man, that is so good." When we get to tell the story, you know? I turned to Caleb and he looked up at me and he said, "You're not a man, you're a God."

    Caleb: Yeah, but I didn't say that.

  • Nathan: The answer is, how do you feel about her? Nothing analytical, just... how you feel.

    Caleb: I feel... that she is fucking amazing.
