In recent years, the rapid development of technology has made artificial intelligence no longer a distant thing, and the image of artificial intelligence in people's minds is no longer a bulky machine knot, but a beautiful and mysterious synthetic person created in the movie.
Left: A Guide to the Galaxy (2005) Right: Mechanic Ji (2015) Synths are the most popular elements in science fiction movies right now. Compared with the metal lump robots that are common now, humanoid robots are more similar to humans, obviously more empathetic and more trusting, but also bring countless worries and panics. For example, the 2012 movie Cloud Atlas also mentions the plot of the Synth Rebellion.
Cloud Atlas (2012) However, no amount of danger can suppress mankind's evil fantasies about artificial intelligence...
Even VR technology has been used to watch yellow films, and you dare to say that there are no evil fantasies about artificial intelligence???
The Howard in the Big Bang Theory doesn't even spare a robot hand! Not to mention the perfect synthetic!
Artificial Intelligence (2001) But the biggest ethical dilemma in the AI problem is whether robots will have autonomous consciousness. Spielberg's artificial intelligence proposes a society when synthetic humans become popular. The adopted and discarded ai-powered little boy in the story is doubly sad because he has a sense of autonomy, not to mention the handsome and poor robot male prostitute played by Jude Law.
Artificial Intelligence (2001) Speaking of human beings' evil fantasies about artificial intelligence, the TV series on the theme of synthetic humans that I want to introduce to you today also accurately hits every fantasy and fear of human beings on artificial intelligence.
The show is called HUMANS, Chinese called "Real Humans." The drama is based on the critically acclaimed Swedish award-winning sci-fi film Series Real Humans, produced by AMC and Channel 4 across the country. You know, these two TV stations have produced "Mad Men", "Breaking Bad", "The Walking Dead" and "Small Town Doubt" these very good TV series. It can be seen how big the card of the production team is!
IMDB score 8.1
Rotten Tomatoes freshness reached 88%! This drama can be so successful, in addition to the ace production company and the big name starring, the key to victory is the wonderful plot setting. In this world of the play, synths have generally held relatively inferior jobs in human society. They have no self-awareness and are more like machines serving humans, with the duty of carrying out human commands.

The Synth Prostitute in the Sound and Color Place And the story begins with a family buying a synth housekeeper Anita. But what they didn't expect was that having a synthetic person at home to help with housework not only did not make their lives easier, but also brought unexpected frictions and disputes.
Anita is played by Jama Chan (she also starred in the first season of Sherlock!). The family soon developed a relationship with Anita. The loyalty of synthetic people is trustworthy, and it is easy to gain the trust of humans. What they don't know, however, is that Anita is more than just an ordinary synth.
And the relationship between the family also appeared a small crack because of the existence of Anita, the little daughter of the family's love and dependence on Anita even more than the mother, which of course caused the mother's dissatisfaction, feel that their intimate relationship with the daughter was threatened.
However, the eldest son of the love dou is affectionate with the beautiful synthetic butler but dare not say it, after all, it is still a little unusual to have a crush on a synthetic person.
The relationship between the husband and wife in the family is also more and more awkward because of Anita, one day, after a fight with his wife, the husband rose on a whim and opened the 18 forbidden mode of the robot butler............
(Omit the screenshot here, welcome to watch for yourself)
Can the father cheat and sleep with his son's crush a little more bloody????? If you think this is the most amazing plot in the show, you are wrong!! In addition to the main plot, various side plots also show the increasingly intimate relationship between synthetic humans and humans and the various strange events that bring about.
For example, an old professor is reluctant to throw away the synthetic butler who has been with him for many years and is now aging and scrapping. When the synthetic doctor decided to forcibly scrap it, the old professor took the risk of hiding the synthetic person privately. When human beings grow old, the artificial intelligence that accompanies them is still young, and if they are not careful, they will become yearless love...
I would never say that I found a hidden base in it (??? In another side story, the wife of a policeman cheats on a synthetic healer and is caught by her husband like this...
I could not take this adulterous wife and said to her husband:
When technology became widespread, people's hearts became impetuous. People can easily manipulate the AI to do what you want, but they can't find a way to get along with their families.
Of course, these plots that embody the feelings of humans and artificial intelligence are only the background of the entire story, and the earth-shattering secrets hidden in the synthetic people are the most fascinating parts of this story. In the story, in addition to ordinary synths, there are also mysterious high synths, who are made by scientist David. Possess self-awareness and thinking skills.
Led by David's son Leon, they searched for some unknown purpose. (There are no spoilers here, otherwise it will deprive everyone of the viewing experience!) ）
Leon is played by Colin Morgan (yes, the Merlin mage you all know!). Among them, kidnapped and sold to a brothel, in order to hide her identity, Niska is one of the high synthesizers.
Her experience made her most hateful and vengeful towards human beings, and she did not want to swallow her anger, angrily escaping from the brothel and yelling at her companions:
So Niska embarks on a journey to get revenge on humanity, and at the same time, Anita's secret is surfacing...
In order not to spoil, I can't go on! Overall, this drama is not only interlocking and fascinating, but also very thought-provoking, and you will definitely have a deeper thinking about artificial intelligence after watching this drama.
In the play, the scene where Niska puts on contact lenses and disguises herself as an adult makes people wonder whether we created synthetic artificial intelligence to create a tool? Create our slaves? Or is it creating more powerful human beings?
In any case, artificial intelligence has always been and will be the ideal of human beings, even if it may be a selfish fantasy, human beings still have not stopped the pace of achieving all this. Such thinking may also come to mind after you have watched this play. In short, this drama will definitely not make you regret it.
If you plan to enter this pit, you must seize it, because the second season of this drama will also be broadcast at the end of this year, and it is conceivable that there will be a wave of chasing dramas at that time! It is recommended that you can take advantage of the fact that the second season is not out yet, and quickly chase the first season first! Finally, I send the most thought-provoking line of the whole play:
One day, human creation will transcend themselves. Will humanity fall into disaster that day, or will a new chapter be opened? Everything is still unknown, but we have been imagining it.
