A Look at the Possibilities of AI
Contains spoilers, click to show
This movie is a fantastic look at the possibilities of artificial intelligence. While Ava is questionable about the full extent of her intelligence as she was merely programmed to make Caleb fall in love with her. I'm not sure that there is any difference between her and another person. She wanted freedom and while she did everything she could to gain that freedom. Her final decision to leave Caleb is the ultimate test of her intelligence. While she certainly used him to gain freedom that showed her intelligence. However, it also showed her lack of humanity. This does show that she has true artificial intelligence she has no humanity which means that she is not the same as a human and never will be. She failed Nathan's true purpose for her though succeeding in her own purpose.

When the chief programmer at her new company is murdered, AIP Turing Hopper once again enlists her human friends to track a killer. Have an artificial intelligence personality as the main character once again proves a brilliant move as this is another page turner.

The protagonist in this book was an artificial intelligence robot called Abbie. She is uploaded with original Abbie’s memories, and she feels like a human. And that is where it doesn’t make sense to me. Sometimes Abbie is very human-like, the way she thinks and the way she behaves, and sometimes she is a simple machine, my brain admired and despised her at the same time.

Artificial Intelligence Personality Turing Hopper is excited to finally have a clue to the location of a criminal she needs to track down. However, her PI friend Tim gets accused of a murder when he goes to investigate. The characters are still very real, both human and AIP, and the plot is fast moving. Just read the series in order.

Kyera (8 KP) rated Illuminae: The Illuminae Files: Book 1 in Books

The layout of this book was so unique - rather than a straight narrative, you were able to experience the story through short bursts via IM chats, 3rd-party observations while transcribing security video, and AI logs. The characters developed over the course of the novel, but it was surprisingly the artificial intelligence A.I.D.E.N. that stole the show. It was an enjoyable story and the plot wasn't predictable. I highly recommend the book to fans of young adult/teen novels, science fiction and truly well thought out narratives.
