Ace-Garageguy Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 I liked the thing for its originality, its production values, and the story-line. All done on a very small budget. Different people will get different things from it, but for me, it's got a definite "hook". I see a subtle underlying theme about what kind of responsibility a human may have for the welfare of a robotic machine of human creation, assuming that machines can ever be self-aware and feel emotion...which I believe is entirely possible (talk to Mr. Kurzweil). Your results may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 There was A 1962 film, "Creation of the Humanoids", which broached the same subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Then there are the more obvious themes, including the futility of trying to "replace" someone that one has loved, and the possibility of deep human / intelligent-machine emotional relationships. If you like to learn, use what you've learned to think, and have any interest in AI (artificial intelligence), the link below is a pretty good overview of the development and problems associated with the technology. It's a jumping-off point for further reading and research on the subject.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence Edited February 7, 2016 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
