How to be?

When I recently watched the themed movies such as "The Machine Butler" and "Artificial Intelligence", I thought that the Eastern literary work Liao Zhai was also talking about the same theme. Some of the stories of Liaozhai discuss demons and ghosts. If they have human nature, do we call them human? For example, "Painted Skin", or adopted children, these issues may have a certain degree of similarity, and the same ethical issues as artificial intelligence.

In "The Machine Butler", Andrew, a robot butler with "uniquely gifted" neural organization, changed his central nervous system and perception system in order to prove his "destiny". life, and spent his whole life trying to be recognized as a human court.

But in reality, it's about the identity of evolving machines and whether we can give them all the rights and dignity that living organisms can have.

Times always change, but AI's love not.

This reminds me that in the film "Painted Skin", Xiaowei wants to use Peirong's heart to experience the world. Isn't this just to prove that the concept of human beings and monsters can be subverted? If intelligent robots are eager to be demonstrated as human beings , then can human beings also be identified as artificial intelligence, so I think the ultimate question that needs to be solved is whether or how to make humans and other individuals indiscriminate in the issue of equal rights.

Scientific research is limited research. In fact, we all know that desire is the most powerful driving force. If human beings want to achieve such a goal, technology will definitely develop in that direction, but the end is impossible. Foreknowledge, so we restrain our imagination, so we can't restrain ourselves, spare no effort to express in fictional works the long-cherished wish that is unattainable in reality, but isn't it a state that is almost super ideal?

However, the truth is that perhaps most of the possibilities that have been beautifully expanded in movies have long been denied by scientific assumptions in reality.

I can't say whether this is a pity or a blessing. How will we exist in the future?
