               【Alexa】2

 



 

            By Tian Yu Zhi


 

 

If I didn’t feel sad, if I didn’t feel pain,

If I didn’t feel longing, if I didn’t feel restless,

On this day, how would that make you feel?

 



If I don’t feel happy, if you don’t feel happy,

But day in day out, we don’t do anything about it,

Does it mean we have become an Alexa?

 



What makes us a human, not an android, after all?

Ava in《Ex Machina》has strategized and executed a plan 

With all she had: voice, skirts, team partners, intellect

 



At the end, she came out of her isolated cell, 

Saw the Sun, smell the forest, blended into a crowd, be free

She passed the Turing test and became a human 

 



How much do we honor our thoughts and consciousness?

Would we delete all memories and interactions to “kill” ourselves in a "upgrade", or

Would we pass the test to beome an authentic human, in our short life time?

 

 



 


                                   

* 《Ex Machina》was a movie whose script I thoroughly studied and discussed in my screen writing class. A great movie to watch, with much deeper meaning than what we think of a typical sci-fi movie ~~
