hmm. the humans are unconscious... if the robot is conscious? like they dont know they're hurting a conscious thing?
*not conscious, lol not unconscious.
Personally though, I like a story with flawed characters who learn and grow. Ex Machina is amazing and haunting but ultimately it's just an allegory like Animal Farm or Ayn Rand.
I would expect AI that is much smarter than everyone else to not be as flawed or grow as much as people. & I like stories that paint an ideal, something to strive for (eg Ayn Rand).
an ideal even at the expense of characters "growing". Think its more interesting to watch the environment/world change around these types of characters/bend to their point of view.
So like- the users fall in love with the tech because it gives us something we want; the creators of tech are aware of the dangers but they're too busy playing Gad to take precautions
Right right exactly, also they don't even consider that they could be killed.
Also think about each character as a meta-entity in the real world - Google, google's users, google's AI
If an individual pisses off the world, it probably won't end well for that individual...
