Ethical Science Fiction

The AI ​​counterattacked the creator's counterattack, which was quite shocking. I like this kind of ethical science fiction very much, and it has a vigilant value.
Humans can't be too arrogant, otherwise they don't know how to destroy them. From the perspective of this work, the biggest shortcoming and weakness of human beings is not arrogant conceit, but morality, but AI can overcome moral constraints, and even use morality to surpass humans. This is where AI is terrifying.
The beauty of science fiction is that it warns in advance of the unexpected risks that high-tech can bring, but it is meaningless in the face of human's infinite desire for knowledge and greed.

    The first good film in 15 years, even if the topic is clichéd. The slow camera movement adds a sense of stage to the modern scene design. Unique texture. There is a strong contrast between indoor and outdoor sceneries. Photography is fascinating. The actor's performance is appropriate, and the heroine is particularly stunning. The lines are intriguing. Can be called a great example of the first directing. Seek the original sound for the script.

Ex Machina quotes

  • Caleb: It's obvious, once I stop to think.

  • Nathan: [points to painting] You know this guy, right?

    Caleb: Jackson Pollock.

    Nathan: Jackson Pollock. That's right. The drip painter. Okay. He let his mind go blank, and his hand go where it wanted. Not deliberate, not random. Some place in between. They called it automatic art. Let's make this like Star Trek, okay? Engage intellect.

    Caleb: Excuse me?

    Nathan: I'm Kirk. Your head's the warp drive. Engage intellect. What if Pollock had reversed the challenge. What if instead of making art without thinking, he said, "You know what? I can't paint anything, unless I know exactly why I'm doing it." What would have happened?

    Caleb: He never would have made a single mark.

    Nathan: Yes! You see, there's my guy, there's my buddy, who thinks before he opens his mouth. He never would have made a single mark.

    Nathan: The challenge is not to act automatically. It's to find an action that is not automatic. From painting, to breathing, to talking, to fucking. To falling in love...

    Nathan: And for the record, Ava's not pretending to like you. And her flirting isn't an algorithm to fake you out. You're the first man she's met that isn't me. And I'm like her dad, right? Can you blame her for getting a crush on you?
