Fake Smartness
The movie AI (Artificial Intelligence) was shockingly touching in juxtaposition with the other sci-fi films we've seen so far. It details the adventures of an android child built and tasked with the intention of being a replacement child. I knew from the start that it would lead to the child becoming human even though he technically is not, but it did a very good job. The actions of the child were inspiring and interesting to follow. I thought that the Flesh Fair was an actually realistic event considering how radical humans can be. I also thought that David's development was fascinating, and truly captured the spirit of youth, and the essence of humanity. Even though David was made from machinery, he expressed the values and behaviors that are needed to really be considered human.

I agree that the robot was able to become really close to human by the end. Which raises the question, will we ever be able to create machines that are humanlike. If you think about it, we're just code too.
ReplyDeleteGreat comment Joe, what you said about humans being code was thought provoking.

I also agree with the robot becoming really close to humans in the end. If we do end up being able to create machines that are really humanlike, would it be a positive movement in technology?
