Super Chap is a sci-fi action film directed by Neil Blomkamp (District 9 director) and co-starring Sarto Copley, Dave Patel, José Pablo Cantilo, Brandon Orrett, Sigour, Hugh Jackman, Robert Hubs, Anderson Cooper, and Jensen Cooper.
The film tells the story of a programmer Dean (Dave Patel, the first artificial intelligence engineer to start the life of Chapai) and the artificial intelligence robot he created to survive. While depicting artificial intelligence throughout the film, it also shows people the idea of reprinting human "consciousness" into computers, which is a good film for hardcore robot science fiction fans. Let me share this video.
Dean is one of the makers of the robot police, but outside of work, he also has his own dream of pursuing: the next step in human evolution, the machine that "can think, feel". Thanks to Dean's efforts, Chapai (Originally a police robot, was severely damaged and scrapped during an operation. Later used by Dean as a prototype to experiment with the first self-aware artificial intelligence program, it was endowed with human consciousness and became the world's first self-awakening robot. ) was born.
This clearly robbed his peers of business, and his peer Vincent (who saw the intelligent robot "Chapai" as a thorn in his eye, was determined to monopolize the arms market with his own murderous weapons. In Moore's view, the emergence of perceptual robots represents the collapse of order and faith for human beings, and he himself is the only savior who reverses this situation. He hunted them down.
Dean is injured in battle and his life is in danger, and in order to save his own maker, Chapai converts Dean's consciousness into program code and stores it into a computer.....
Converting consciousness into a process artificial intelligence program for storage in a computer is a very bold idea, but the complexity of the human brain can be imagined, and it is even more difficult to use a computer to realize human thinking.
This involves a lot of issues, and let's talk about two of them.
If man can create life, what is the relationship between this life and man? Lord and Servant?
Life is free, especially those who are intelligent, from ants to humans, that kind of life is all striving and fighting for freedom. If one life creates another, how do these two lives coexist? Back to reality, humans make intelligent robots to better serve themselves, and humans want to control intelligent robots, which is the reality. If intelligent robots could think autonomously and have life, could humans still control them?
If human consciousness can be continued with program code, plus a body that can be replaced (such as a machine), is it considered immortal?
Human consciousness is a very mysterious "thing", so that it is difficult for people to describe it themselves, and people are walking dead without consciousness, but consciousness exists in this world by relying on this skin bag (at least using the human body to carry and express human consciousness). If consciousness could be transferred in a way, such as translating into program code, as in the film where Dean's consciousness was transferred to a robot's computer, would that consciousness still be human consciousness? Is the transferred carrier (such as Dean after the "resurrection" in the film) considered human?
Let's consider these two questions first, because the discussion of "man," "life," and "consciousness" is so complicated that people with different worldviews give different answers, which confirms why someone would want to use machines to prolong life, even intelligence, such as Cyborg humans. The ending of the film is open-ended, giving people the space to let go of their imagination, hoping that in the future, human beings can realize their dreams, but the road to dreams must be bumpy.
