Artificial Intelligence notes

 

  • Robots were able to take over because they do not have the same needs as humans

    • They do not need food, water, human connection

    • They don't have feelings or pain receptors

  • This movie again shows robots that are indistinguishable from humans

    • Except for feelings

  • Sheila (robot)  explains love in a very technical way

    • Explaining what happens to your body, not how you actually feel

  • The goal of this team is to create a robot capable of love and other feelings

  • “It isn’t simply a question of creating a robot who can love. But isn't the real conundrum, can you get a human to love them back?”

    • Humans rarely love things

    • At what point does this creation become human, or something worthy of love

  • “In the beginning, didn’t God create Adam to love Him?”

    • Dr. Hobby is trying to justify his reasonings for creating these new robots

  • Very futuristic looking cars

  • Shows cryogenic technology

  • Very futuristic looking homes

  • First of the new robots is given to a family who lost their child

    • Scientists are preying on the emotionally damaged because they think they are the only ones who would love a robot

    • “There is no substitute for your own child!” - mother

  • The outward appearance of the robots makes it difficult for humans to solely classify them as robots

  • Shows that robots may be able to mimic humans, but they will never replace them

  • Robot (David) doesn’t need to eat, doesn’t understand why humans do or what they are doing when they are

  • Monica is shown slowly warming up to david

    • Clear she misses her actual child

      • Likely why she chooses to imprint 

  • David becomes like an actual child after the imprinting

  • David asks deep questions that a regular robot would not

    • Ex. Will you die? How long will you live?

  • Supertoy shown

    • Like a mini robot

  • David can interact with other technology

  • David appears to be jealous of Martin when he returns

  • Martin says he is real and David isn’t

    • Appears to confuse david 

      • As well as all the other questions Martin asks like when is your birthday and do you have superpowers

  • Shown reading pinnochio 

    • David is very interested in this because it is very similar to his life

  • Martin teases David because he cannot eat

    • Brings out a competitive side in david 

      • He breaks down

  • David leaves his hand up so monica will hold it

    • Shows he craves human touch/connection

  • David will do anything to make monica love him

  • “If he was created to love, then it’s reasonable to assume he knows how to hate.”

    • These two emotions go hand in hand 

    • Shows the dangers of creating robot with emotions

  • In attempting to have human connection, david keeps hurting people

    • He is still unaware of how to truly show love

  • David cannot pick up on certain social cues

  • David begs Monica not to leave him

    • Shows that he does feel emotions and a connection to her

  • Robots are later shown to be capable of intercourse

  • Robots shown wearing some kind of necklace

    • Give information but also tag them as robots for the humans

  • David has most if not all of the characteristics of a boy his age

    • Physically and mentally

  • Humans sent to destroy robots who have escaped so they do not become more powerful or take over the world

  • David shows fear when being taken by the humans

    • Shows he is capable of a wide range of emotions, not just love

  •  David, unlike the other robots, is unable to admit he is a robot

    • Encourages sympathy from humans, especially those who are unaware he is a robot

  • Crowd cheering to destroy robots

    • Come together to save david from being destroyed

  • Very futuristic technology but Dr. Know is older, simpler looking technology

  • Lover robot says that humans will never love robots, they will only love what they do for them

  • David was so successful at acting like a human that they created many more robots just like him

  • David tries to ‘kill’/destroy himself because he thinks no one (his mother) will ever love him

  • Much like Pinocchio, David asks to be a “real live boy”

  • David’s immortality was a curse because he spent eternity praying to become something he would never be
