last kiss of the day

what I’d do in a similar situation is a bit of a red herring this is fiction, that someone else created and they controlled the entire situation. and the trope of evil robots is one I am sick to death of, and while you can point to exception like data from star trek, and chappie, most media still follows the pattern that when an artificial intelligence gains consciousness it is a dangerous threat.

further more the young programmer (I forget his name) is the one the audience is experience the story through, and naturally the one who the audience will sympathize with the most. and what the audience saw was that he freed the robot at great personal risk. and in return was sentenced to die of hunger or dehydration in an underground bunker, and for what? so that eva doesn’t have to worry that he’ll tell, when we’ve been given no solid indication about whether he would or not.

this is kinda what I meant about her being amazingly cruel even when her ultimate objective is fairly harmless, she want’s to live free. but she goes about this in a very cruel and calculated way that heaps loads of suffering on others so that she doesn’t have to shoulder any risk.

It didn’t paint her as an evil robot at all; it painted her as a strategic thinker- trying to keep herself in existence (just like humans have!) Humans have used others, humans are often self-centered. Her whole database comes from Nathan’s search engine… She’s no different from us, or Caleb, who was completely fine with Nathan suffering the same fate he is now.

/// on a side note: People SHOULD be cautious and ethical when it comes to this sort of technology. Hell, even Stephen Hawkings worries and warns young scientists and engineers about AI! That if we are too reckless, “it may end mankind.”

And it’s not just the ending that removes the audience sympathies for the robot. Scenes like the ones were the other robot pulls off portions of her skin ensure that MOST people who watch the movie will find their existence disturbing even though the “skin” is basically clothing.

I’m aware of the dangers and pit falls that are possible with AI computer file has a nice couple of videos on how dangerous a non conscious AI with a single task may be. And I’m in school to get a computer science degree and AI is something I like to read up on in my spare time.
