"Machine" is the word you're looking for. Eva is a machine.

This is an amazing film. I saw it for the first time not to long ago and it struck a chord with me. To your first question. Is the philanthropic, ego driven rich guy trope over done? Not when it's done this well. A lot of tropes are only tropes because they were so good everyone copied them (think genius serial killer after Silence of the Lambs. In actuality serial killers are usually below average intellect). Abstract art is stupid. Yes I know Pollock works have an underlying method and it has mathematical value... Blah blah blah... To me it's spilled paint With the ending I always read it that whether Ava cared about Caleb or not was irrelevant. She either was cold and uncaring or avoiding his gaze so that she could stay disconnected. It was survival and no-one could know what she was. She was tidying up loose ends Do I worry about machines taking over? Short answer. No. I think it would be gradual enough that it wouldn't get catastrophic. However what you said about the people making it? Yes they are a different story. Even if it's nothing super nefarious I don't like the idea of targeted advertising. Imagine advertising that could more than show you what you're looking for but twist your weaknesses and pick at your insecurities to sell to you personally. It already happens to an extent and I don't see it going away Great reaction dude. This deserves more views by a long shot

Thanks! I've got two "real" jobs, so content creation may be slow, but I'll do my best to keep 'em coming.

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

Jackson Pollock's work looks like it was made by nature, not by a human. Like it was made by God, not by a painter. That's the point of his art--- there is no deliberate intent to produce an image, the image is the result of a process of interaction between the artists's hands and eye, and the paint. The images don't look like anything else that has ever existed, because they are produced by a process that has never before happened. Also, since there are no other drip painters (at least, no other ones who are any good), it doesn't look like anything else produced. Pollock is the hardest artist to convincingly copy, because you can tell at a glance what the process behind the painting was.

Great reaction. Thank you.

[@st.johnthephilosopher1087]

Thank you too!

IT billoniare is always strange!

[@st.johnthephilosopher1087]

Given what we know about various real-life IT billionaires, it's a stereotype with solid backing.

[@davidgagnon3781]

I don't get abstract art either. It looks like there was an explosion at the paint factory.

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

It looks like it wasn't produced by a human being, but by a natural process, exactly like an explosion at a paint factory. Except an actual explosion wouldn't likely produce a complex image, but a bunch of big globs. Jackson Pollack's point is that a human being is capable of producing works of painting that are completely different from the deliberate pushing of brush against canvas, that you can interact with the paint and canvas in such a way that it looks like a natural process made it, like a forest growing, as if it were made by God, not man. That's why he called it 'process art', the process determines the outcome.

[@adampare8088]

The takeaway from this is stop making a.i. "human". We suck, we are capable of evil. Make them better than us

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

Ava, in the movie, is better than us. She is a "good person", unlike the other two characters, and she feels contempt for them for that reason.

[@adampare8088]

@@annaclarafenyo8185 Wow! What a ridiculous statement. She stabs Nathan in the heart and leaves Caleb to starve to death....and she's the good person?!!!!!!!!!

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

@@adampare8088 You are not considering the atrocities Nathan has committed to her predecessors--- he creates them, the lobotomizes them and uses them as sex-slaves. Nor are you considering the callousness and indifference Nathan shows to the lobotomized AI he encountered.

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

@@adampare8088 Because your understanding of "personhood" doesn't encompass the entities in the film, real AIs, you are biased towards the humans. The person who made this film does not have this bias, and this is what makes it such a masterpiece.

[@adampare8088]

@@annaclarafenyo8185 Sorry but no. If you stab someone in the heart and leave someone else to starve...I'm never calling the the good one, whether human or a.i

I guess Ava wasn't 3 Laws Safe!

[@st.johnthephilosopher1087]

Why do these guys never program in the 3 Laws?!

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

@@st.johnthephilosopher1087 You can't 'program in' things like that. This is a ridiculous conceit, that you can somehow control the high-level thoughts of an AI. The things you program are low-level and stupid, like how to learn. At a high level, you can't control anything. At best, you could program in a disgust feeling when you see blood, like in humans.

The mad genius trope is played out, for sure
