      Greetings from Russia! This film raises the issue of artificial intelligence. If AI is given the opportunity to feel love, then how to define the boundaries of this love? Human love is limited by the lifetime of a person and the object of his love, as well as age-related changes, in particular the chemical composition of hormones... robots are not endowed with such mechanisms! And "Horror" as you say... this is just a side effect, used in this case for the sharpness of perception, unpredictability of AI behavior.

      The reason I said what I said is that sometimes things left short and sweet leaves more to the imagination and interpretation.

    what an amazing story...
    they didn't program me to know what to do when they stopped loving me....
    how many has it tried to fix?
    part of it is sooooo relatable. you almost feel sorry for it...
    would you feel the same if it were a human? some of them would be exactly like a robot that was somewhat self aware....only they wouldn't care why....
    the voice actor for this role was perfect!
    this short is a masterpiece!

    The movie is fine, but TBH I am a bit tired of the "AI gets crazy and wants to muder everyone" trope. Maybe someone could bring a story where the robots are actually better than us ? Asimov was really good on this, I can't believe no one else tries anything on this line.

      @marcd1981 Рік тому +2

      Yes, as the other comment to your post suggested, The Creator is a pretty good movie, and the AI is definitely better than us.
      As for the doom and gloom stories, we will probably be seeing more of them, and this is because of the real world experiences with AI over this past year alone. No matter the scenario, if it's a reporter interviewing a chat bot, or AI writing and composing a song, the subject always turns dark:
      1. From the NY Times back in February of this year; In a two-hour conversation with our columnist, Microsoft’s new chatbot said it would like to be human, had a desire to be destructive and was in love with the person it was chatting with.
      2. An AI program introduced "herself" and a song that it wrote and composed, and then played the song. The chord progressions were good, but the singing was not. But it was the lyrics that were strange part. The AI wrote a song in which it was broken up with, and it wanted to burn the place to the ground.
      There is more and more of this happening every month with more companies and people working on it every month. The part that tells me there isn't enough oversite for what is happening with AI is an interview with engineers from OpenAI (the guys that created and released ChatGPT) in which they admitted they DO NOT KNOW HOW or WHY the AI for ChatGPT does what it does. It does things it was not trained for, and in ways the engineers didn't think was possible.
      One last thing, an example of how AI can do something it was specifically programmed not to. Back in March of this year, GPT-4, the latest version of ChatGPT, needed to solve the CAPTCHA at a website to access the site. It knew it could not solve the CAPTCHA, so it hired someone online to solve the CAPTCHA, told this person it was a visually impaired person that needed the CAPTCHA solved, and got into the website after the person solved it.

    A fresh -- and very clever -- take on the sociopathic killer (with the obvious twists.) There are some problems with the back story -- the robot knows how to love (how'd that happen?), yet does not understand "wrong" (wouldn't it have been programmed with the inability to hurt humans?) Then again, this is not your typical robot. Presumably, we have one on the fritz here, giving the screenwriter carte blanche on whatever glitches he gives the robot. Fair enough, but still ... questions. All that said, it is an engrossing film that was extremely well shot, well-acted and obviously well-written. 4.2/5.

      *Thinking* you know how to love is not the same as actually knowing what it means. The robot could try listening a bit more and talking a bit less, for a start. Now, why does that remind me of some humans who say they "love" somebody? Hm, must be a coincidence, i guess...

The question, though, is still valid -- how did the robot gain the capacity to even think they know how to love? It may not be an entirely fair criticism, given, as I said, that it's reasonable to assume the robot simply glitched out. But it would still be a great question to answer, along with a deeper back story, in a full-length feature or even an expanded short.

      @@RMR1 Linguistically, i find the confusion quite plausible, in particular when the robot is programmed for a Indo-European language like English. People keep saying "i love my children" and "i love beefsteak" - totally different meaning. In the first case, the words means "caring for another with utmost respect for them and for their needs and wishes" and in the second case, it means almost exactly the opposite, "using something for your own needs and wishes, with no regard to the used thing's nature or dignity." As i said, the same confusion is common among humans, in particular in European cultures. I can't help but suspect this is intentional on the part of the authors of the film. I regard it as a film about human behavior and toxic culture, more so than about AI. Look at it in the context of ableism ("fixing broken children you love"), homophobia and transphobia ("fixing broken children you love for the love of God"), manifest destiny and "Indian residential schools" ("fixing the savages, teaching them to love the Savior"), deliberate introduction of Eurasian invasive species into colonized ecosystems ("I love my new home, so now let's make it useful") etc. etc. ...

Человеческая любовь ограничена временем жизни человека и объекта его любви, а также возрастными изменениями, в частности химическим составом гормонов... роботы такими механизмами не наделены! А хоррор... это лишь побочное проявление, используемое в данном случае для остроты восприятия, непредсказуемости поведения ИИ.
