Icarus, an important character ignored by the audience

When watching this movie, many friends overlooked an important character. That is Icarus. This Icarus refers to both number one and number two. She is not only a spaceship, but also a very intelligent robot. It can be said that Icarus is another "intelligent creature" on earth after humans. For Icarus, humans are like parasites on the body.
This explains a lot of "plot bugs". In many cases, she knew that human beings were in danger, but deliberately did not call the police - "I won't tell you if you don't ask me; I will tell you if you ask me." Just to be able to kill humans within her own authority.
So what does she do. God created human beings, and after human beings thought they had obtained enough wisdom, they delusionally challenged God. Similarly, when the human creation, the computer, is sufficiently developed, will it also attempt to overtake human beings?
One of the topics of this movie is: in the twilight years, are people struggling with greed for power and love for position, or are they retiring and giving up early.
From a historical and dialectical point of view, Captain No. 1 is not necessarily crazy. Perhaps he is the most rational and far-sighted human being.
And Icarus is a scheming bitch hidden behind an elegant and comfortable voice. There is no need to do it yourself, induce the victim to commit suicide, or use the hands of others to kill.
