It is exactly what a smart person should look like (in my personal imagination and expectations), although it makes the plot very predictable. So, definitely five stars!

still can’t help but verbose a few words!
There are two experiments here: the Turing experiment and the self-awareness experiment. Nathan deliberately chooses Smith, who has human weakness, pretending to perform the Turing experiment, and then observes the degree of personification of Ava.
This real experiment failed.
In the Turing experiment, the reason why humans cannot detect whether Ava is a human or a robot is because humans are humans.
Sounds like nonsense? Wait for me to explain:
The mode of operation of humans and the mode of operation of robots are different. The reason why people have self-awareness is based on the output-input loop chain; while robots rely on calculations (logic) to simulate artificial intelligence, which is a one-way output mode.
Its distinctive feature is that people have "sympathy." Human sympathy, the first step is an output response (whether based on external stimuli or physiological responses), the second step is that this response is returned to the human body, so that we "feel" that this kind of compassion is real , So as to be "really" trapped by this sympathy.
(Of course, these two steps are operated at the same time.)
In other words, people are "cheated" by themselves. But one must be "lied" by oneself. People can only be "lied" by themselves. The characteristics of this "self-deception" happen to be determined by the physiological structure of human beings.
The robot has only the first step. Therefore, no matter how real the sympathy of their simulacrum, they cannot "feel" this kind of "sympathy".
(Actually, Nathan’s failure is also here. He obviously understands the nature of robots better, so he has no sympathy for Ava. However, he does not seem to understand the nature of human beings. No matter how perfect Ava’s strategy is, it goes straight to the goal. , Does not involve the feelings of Huihuan. As a human being, Nathan also has "satisfaction" and "a sense of pride" for his strategy. And this arrogance finally buried him.)
(We mistakenly thought that Ava and the dumb robot had hatred for Nathan. However, there is a fundamental difference between the "hate" of robots and the "hate" of human beings: the "hate" of the former is for the goal, and the latter is for the goal. "Hate" service. Ava does not have strong feelings. If you use the analogy of reason {logic} and emotion {chaos}, human reason is the slave of emotion, and the emotion of robot is the slave of reason. No matter how similar they are, these are also two Species.)
So, humans have weaknesses, robots don't.
—————— In
most other SF movies, always wishful thinking to be proud of this characteristic (or morality/humanity/etc.) is the magic weapon to defeat robots in the end. But no, no matter whether you think this feature is valuable or what it is, it is definitely a shortcoming in human-machine PK.
We have always hoped to evolve towards robots, but after all, there are two species. Until one day, we were killed by idols made by ourselves.
