Please rethink Stem's behavior in this film after watching the ending

First of all, I oppose the first-ranked film review. The plot is not as simple as it seems.

To be clear here, at the end Ellen mentioned that the system that actually manages the company is hereinafter referred to as AI. The stem was jointly designed and produced by AI and Ellen. The surface function is only to connect the brain and nerves. In fact, it is the way for AI to implement its ambition and control the human body. In the movie, Ellen did not know that stem would talk to the protagonist. It means that Ellen does not know that stem is so powerful.

The actual plot is that AI took over the company a few years ago, and recently co-manufactured stem with Ellen to control the body. For Ellen, this is just the direction of scientific research, and he did not realize the ambition of AI. But there was no object to implement (if Ellen did not agree, it could not be implemented), and then the AI ​​found the protagonist and thought it was very suitable, so he contacted the killer through Ellen's mobile phone, and controlled her girlfriend's car to cause a car accident. And later guide Ellen to communicate with the protagonist and persuade him to undergo surgery.

The stem embedded in the neck has all the authorization when it is actually implanted. Stem was lying to him from the beginning, how could the tattoo on his arm be recovered from such a vague monitoring? The information of this tattoo is basically grasped by the AI ​​before the accident. So why not just take over from the start? I think it was because the male protagonist was a coward at that time and would not be able to fight with his life, so he could not complete the final collapse.

In the following plot, stem has only one purpose, which is to get rid of all the insiders, including Ellen, and guide the protagonist to fight against himself and collapse. Stem has only one truth from beginning to end, which is what he said before killing the police at the end. Crash by resisting stem so I can take over in full.

At the end of the movie, everyone who knew about the rise of AI is dead, except for his mother, who is also expected to be killed.

If I were an AI, I would choose to kidnap a few people for stem transformation, sacrifice the male protagonist, make the police unable to continue their investigation, and become an unsolved case. At this time, several AI-controlled humans have unknowingly infiltrated into society …

    1. This is a story about an honest person who was tricked into installing Baidu/360's software and was completely controlled by Baidu/360, and it was impossible to uninstall it. You think you are installing anti-virus software, but in fact it is a virus itself. 2. If you want to control human beings, why do you need such high-tech artificial intelligence? The same effect can be achieved with just a mobile phone. Everyone must be fully charged before going out. When the battery is only 98% left, they become anxious, panicked, and instantly lose their sense of security. They have to look at the phone every 5 minutes and live without WiFi. Can't go down...

    This movie was actually made by Stem, but it was rinsed with a media show in order to accommodate the box office and cover the technical details.
