Ksu article

I've decided to choose an overwiew of the film Artificial Intelligense. I watched this film on winter holidays, and I was impressed by it very much. This film is about robot-boy(David), who was invented in order to live in families which have no children. One of David's peculiarities is ability to have feelings, own dreams like an ordinary little boy, to love his future parents. The tragedy of David was that his "mother" Monica left him, because she though David had tried to killed her own son, but she was mistaken. So she betrayed him and left alone in yhe forest. But the worst thing was that at the same time people opened the hunting for robots, and when people caught them they destroyed them in a very cruel manner. They did it in order to"demolishing artificially".
The article, which I've read is devoted to the question whether people have any power to create virtually living creatures and then destroy them. How big is our responsibility for this creatures?
This film is some kind of question. And Steve Spielberg, who is a director of this movie,"confronts a crucial question:"Do the virtual selves we project into the world, on screen and elsewhere, bring us closer to knowing who we are, or do they distract us from our search for that knowledge?"(Critics'Pick, Film Review:Do Androids Long for Mom? written by A.O.Scott; N-Y Times, June 29,2001.)

I think the question the article poses is very important. Will you be intersted in considerting this question in an essay?

Yes, I think this question is rather serious and importaint. Nowadays artificial intelligense became an essential part of our life. But at the same time we should not forget that our inventions depend on us. We are responsible for it.
In my oppinion people should think carefully before they invent something.

I really adore this film! and the question about artificial intelligense keeps me thinking a lot. the main problem is whether we need it or not. There is one more movie that hihgligts the problem - "200 year-old man". I think, if you are able to watch it, it would be a great use. it tells the story of a robot who wanted to be a human.

i don't know why people create machines which are similar to them and then tell them that they are wrong and don't have a right to be a human. What for, i wonder.

I think that it's the main people mistake. First-to creat, then-to think.
