Blade Runner 2.0--A Turing Test

This is a movie about the Turing Test.

First, let's talk about what the Turing test is.
If a person asks a question, he cannot tell whether the person in front of him is a human or a machine. Well this machine has the same emotion and intelligence as a human and it passed the test.

In "Blade Runner" there is such a paragraph:
Dirk specifically hunts down the escaped robots and destroys them. Asked to distinguish between humans and machines, he would perform the Turing test. Since it takes only four years for robots to go from production to attrition and perish, it is difficult to obtain human equivalent emotions within four years. After being asked 20-30 questions, most robots will reveal their faults and then be annihilated.
Until one day, Dirk met Rachel, he asked 100 questions, no flaws.
Rachel was infused with memories at the beginning of her birth. When she firmly believed that she was the girl in the photo, she was no different from ordinary people; but when she suspected that she was an artificial human, she quickly became confused, and was finally seen by Dirk.
Self-identity is necessary to pass the Turing test.


However, even if all the questions are answered correctly, is it artificial intelligence?
Mary's room is an artificial intelligence dilemma: Mary knows everything about color and talks about all the properties of color, but she is locked in a black and white room until one day, she walks out of the room and sees the color of her life's research. Does she understand colors?
Similarly, Alphago beat Lee Sedol, nine dan of Go, with four wins in five games. Does it know that it is playing chess, and will it be excited about its victory?
Ex Machina uses a more ingenious Turing test to test artificial intelligence.

Kyle is tasked with testing Ava. This is a beautiful artificial intelligence. Like a little girl, she deliberately concealed her age. She asked the tester about the privacy of the tester. She wore decent clothes to cover the cold shell, and she painted a portrait of Kyle with tears in her eyes. The expression spied Kyle's goodwill towards her and deceived his trust.
The test was successful. When Ava turned against Kyle and opened all the doors, when Ava stabbed a knife into the maker, when Ava got dressed and walked into the helicopter, when Ava came to the intersection to see the bustling crowd, she proved herself . Taking full advantage of human emotions, she bluffs into a relationship and eventually pulls out. Until she has the opportunity to blend in with the crowd and feel the emotions she has studied for so long.
The world is full of color.



We can see the difference between these two Turing tests.
In Ex Machina, artificial intelligence can use human emotions to achieve its own goals.
But does Machina end up possessing human emotions? She learns color, sees color, does she have color? This is still unknown.

In "Blade Runner", the ultimate experience of artificial intelligence is the identification of human beings and the release of death.
They believe they are human in order to be human.
And when they become human, they also have love and hate, life and death, lust, and are as omnipotent as human beings, but also weak.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
I have seen things you humans can't believe. On the edge of the constellation Orion, I saw the space battleship blazing on the shoulders of Orion, and I watched the radiant light shining in the darkness of the gates of heaven. All these moments will be lost in the torrent of time, like tears in the rain... The time of death has come.

If artificial intelligence does not pursue human trust with any calculation, it may become human, like Rachel in Blade Runner.
But by then, the desires and emotions of thousands of people can be controlled, why do they need to be human?
do you trust me?
How can I answer this?

    I really like Gleeson brother more and more, but unfortunately today I have been pinching my thighs and paying attention in the first half of the game. _(:з」∠)_ is completely unexpected ending, but engineering dogs really like this theme. ..

    It is even better if the robot is male. For example, French shark or something.

Ex Machina quotes

  • Nathan: Man, but what a thing we've shared, huh? Something to tell our grandchildren, right?

    Caleb: After they've signed their NDAs.

    Nathan: [laughs] Yeah, their NDAs... Dude, you crack me up, man.

  • Caleb: Why did you give her sexuality? An AI doesn't need a gender. She could have been a grey box.

    Nathan: Actually I don't think that's true. Can you give an example of consciousness at any level, human or animal, that exists without a sexual dimension?

    Caleb: They have sexuality as an evolutionary reproductive need.

    Nathan: What imperative does a grey box have to interact with another grey box? Can consciousness exist without interaction? Anyway, sexuality is fun, man. If you're gonna exist, why not enjoy it? You want to remove the chance of her falling in love and fucking? And the answer to your real question, you bet she can fuck.

    Caleb: What?

    Nathan: In between her legs, there's an opening, with a concentration of sensors. You engage them in the right way, creates a pleasure response. So if you wanted to screw her, mechanically speaking, you could. And she'd enjoy it.

    Caleb: That wasn't my real question.

    Nathan: Oh, okay. Sorry.
