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.

    Hypocritical creator complex, interactive calculus, big data, online privacy, human loneliness and ridiculous sense of security, endless self-blackening, innate fear of non-my race, metaphysical philosophical paradox myths and have been flushed to the toilet The three laws of robots here have basically constituted the main theme of artificial intelligence movies in the past few years. In fact, what you have seen is a cool contemporary literary cyber print story.

    Fairly good sci-fi sketches, slightly closer to the side of the genre, claustrophobic space, simple character settings, and horrifying and weird atmosphere. It is a pity that the challenge of artificial intelligence to human existence based on the Turing test is not in dialogue and reversal. What's deepening in it. The character of the heroine is too boring, but Isaac with big breasts and short legs is more cute.

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?
