ChatGPT is the beginning of 5 recent films that imagine the future of artificial intelligence

Since the end of the year 2022 until now, social media, both Arab and international, are still abuzz with talk about the new ChatGPT chatbot, which relies on artificial intelligence techniques to conduct conversations with humans.

Although the past years have witnessed the release of many advanced artificial intelligence products, this time was marked by the spread of thousands of discussions that users had with the new conversation system, which was widely amazed by the level of sophistication of the answers provided by the machine.

Between sophisticated study articles, jokes that are okay at all, and good linguistic construction to answer deep questions, even writing verses of poetry, telling complete stories, and building wonderful artistic visual perceptions;

The chatbot launched by the research organization "Open AI" has achieved great fame among users of all walks of life, in a way that brought to mind once again the warnings made by authors and technologists, and embodied in cinema over many years, of the "artificial intelligence monster" that we are very curious about. Its rapid development, but we ignore the major problems that we may face because of it in the near future (1).

Here we shed light on 5 recent films produced during the past ten years that deal with the topic of "artificial intelligence", and draw scenarios for what things will be like after the increase in machine intelligence to a level that threatens human relations as we know them, and with it becomes difficult to control them, and what humans can go through. If things reach a point of no return.

The movie "Her". Crazy Samantha

Human literature is full of flaming love stories, which usually end in dramatic and tragic endings when the two lovers separate or not meet in the first place.

The poems of Qais bin Al-Mulouh about the love of Laila Al-Amriya are not the first, and the stories of Romeo and Juliet are not the last, so it is not surprising that every moment more stories of love and spinning appear as long as humans are alive and provided on this earth, but what is really strange is that a deep, true and sincere love story arises It includes all aspects of romance.. between a human being and an operating system!

In a not-too-distant future, the tech-obsessed Theodore lives a lonely life after his divorce from his wife. He spends his time in his smart apartment in Los Angeles alone, between doing his business and spending his free time playing video games or going out with friends.

As his feelings of loneliness deepen, Theodore happens to learn of a new operating system on the market called "OS1" announced as the world's smartest operating system based on advanced artificial intelligence.

Theodore begins using the operating system, which assumes the name "Samantha".

At first, Theodore deals with everything with a mixture of astonishment and belittling, but over time Theodore spends more time with Samantha, to form a close relationship between them that reaches the stage of complete love with the constant presence of Samantha's quiet, warm, feminine voice that shares Theodore with all the ideas about life that can be comes to mind.

Then the drunkenness goes away and the idea comes, and Theodore realizes that he is involved in the love of an automatic operating system that drains all the feelings of love inside him, and he does not believe that all the warm feelings he experiences are directed to a machine and not a girl of flesh and blood, which is what makes the romantic events at the beginning of the movie turn into Painful events at its end, with a clear warning rhythm of what the evolution of the artificial intelligence system could have on human feelings and relationships between them.

The movie “Her” produced in 2013, starring the star “Joaquin Phoenix” and the star “Scarlett Johansson”, whose contribution throughout the film was through her voice only. The film was nominated for 5 Oscars, winning one of them, and it was also nominated for many international awards, and critical sites considered it one of the best The films produced that year, not only because of its poignant plot, but also for its cautionary message about the possibility of machines infiltrating the most important thing that humans possess: feelings.

Ex Machina.. Freedom accompanies the machine

It was a friendly invitation that the famous programmer "Celeb Smith" received from a senior executive of a global company that develops artificial intelligence programs, where he asked him to visit him for a week in his house far from the city, and when the programmer arrived home, he was surprised that the owner of the huge technical company was able to Indeed, the development of an advanced robot with high artificial intelligence techniques that can efficiently simulate human emotions, and the robot was called "Ava", which was made with female features and a robotic body.

At the request of the CEO of the company, the programmer, Kelip, begins to study the new robot to try to develop it by giving it more human characteristics.

Over time, a deep emotional relationship begins between the programmer and the robot that is almost identical to normal human relationships, so that Kelib discovers that the robot "Ava" is using him emotionally, to give her the opportunity to escape and start her personal life away from her prison.

Despite the small budget of the movie "Ex Machina", which was produced in the year 2015 at an amount that does not exceed 15 million dollars, which is not a large number compared to the production budgets of science fiction films, the film was a great success among viewers and critics, and was nominated for a large number. It won international awards, including the Oscars, and was considered one of the 10 best independent films produced this year.

The film, starring the British star "Dominal Gleason", and the role of the machine in which the Swedish star "Alicia Vikander" played, is considered one of the pivotal films that warns of the development of artificial intelligence to the point of forming special feelings and desires for machines to pursue highly complex concepts such as "freedom" and try to Exploiting human emotional vulnerabilities to break free from his power.

Artificial intelligence loves you.. Is machine love better than humans?!

In a not-too-distant future, the relationship between man and machine is no longer a master-servant relationship. The matter has gone far beyond this area and has turned into a deep friendship. It has become natural for the buildings themselves to be designed and managed entirely by an artificial intelligence system that deals with humans according to human concepts in friendly relations. And friendship and help, and among these systems was the "Dob" robot responsible for managing a company building in which the beautiful employee "Lana" works.

"Dub" gives calm greetings to all employees, but he gives the same salutation to "Lana" with exaggerated warmth, offers her greater advantages, seems kinder than usual, and when Lana has a problem at work, Dub intervenes to solve it immediately, and offers her sympathy.

Doub finally confesses to her that he fell in love with her, but she faces his confession with disapproval. In the end, he is just a machine and not a human being. Doub tries in every way to appease her by offering him alternative designs, but she rejects all his attempts.

How can a lover's artificial intelligence system convince a human girl to love him?

Due to a rare software bug, the entire system is loaded onto the body of a human who had a highly toxic relationship with Lana, after which Dub realizes that he has transformed into a human and seeks to convince Lana that he loves her through his new human body.

Things improve a lot with Dob's ex knowing everything Lana likes and interests her, but things end up heading into a dead end as expected.

The movie “AI Love You” is a Thai movie that was shown on Netflix, and it achieved a good positive critical evaluation. The spread of artificial intelligence and its transformation from just a cold relationship based on cooperation to much deeper relationships such as friendship and then full love!

The mother and the machine.. the artificial intelligence coup

On Christmas Eve, in a near future in which the use of machines and artificial intelligence systems is widespread, Georgia Olsen tells her boyfriend that she is pregnant, so he is overwhelmed with joy, and decides to celebrate Christmas Eve together.

On their way to the party, their robot "Eli" tells them that he wishes them a "Happy Halloween night!", and Halloween in Western culture is the "Feast of Halloween" celebrated at the end of October every year, usually It is accompanied by terrifying costumes that everyone wears in great celebrations.

At first glance, the two partners think that there is a malfunction that happened to their automated assistant, so they decide to ignore this sentence, and they go to the party that witnesses sudden violence from the machines, where both Georgia and Sam attack, who manage to escape, only to discover that smart phones are exploding with violence that kills their owners immediately, and begins Things are clear that the world is facing a coup from artificial intelligence devices (AI Takeover) to control humans.

The movie "Mother/Android" is a post-apocalyptic science fiction film produced by Hulu in 2021, directed by Mattson Tomlin, and also shown on Netflix as one of the most important artificial intelligence films that showcase its pessimistic side.

The film starring the star "Chloe Grace Moretz" and the star "Algie Smith", and its main plot revolves around the pursuit of humans who are trying to escape from them in the forests, heading to certain areas of the world that are said to have not been affected by the madness of artificial intelligence systems.

Tao.. Humans are a source of machine learning

It is natural for humans to be the source of machine learning, but it is not natural for humans to be forced to be a learning source for the machine, otherwise the machine will apply all kinds of torment to them.

Therefore, the situation in which "Julia" - the notorious cabaret girl - was found was very difficult when one day she opened her eyes to find that she was bound and gagged in a dark prison, only to discover that she was a human sample brought in to develop an advanced artificial system.

TAU is a 2018 sci-fi action thriller on Netflix, the name of an advanced, unfriendly artificial intelligence system developed by a domineering software scientist who begins to impose a set of tests on a group of "samples". humanity" forces them to engage in activities that increase the development of its software, inside an unknown house completely controlled by the Tao system, and whoever refuses or tries to escape will face a terrifying series of penalties.

The film stars rising actress Maika Monroe, British actor Ed Skrein, and famous British superstar Gary Oldman, who only embodies the sound of the artificial Tau system in the film.

The film achieved good positive critical reviews, and was considered one of the most watched films on Netflix at the time of its release, given that it is one of the most important films that warns of advanced computer operating systems that rely on overly developed artificial intelligence.

In the end, it is quite clear that the general tendency of cinema in recent years to deal with the development of artificial intelligence is to warn against things getting out of control, whether in the usual pattern of turning against humans (AI Takeover), which a large group of scientists and technicians warns of, led by Elon Musk and a scientist The late physicist Stephen Hawking, or even through the penetration of artificial intelligence into all the details of our lives, including our emotional and human lives, in a way that makes us unable to differentiate between what is human and what is just a machine that improves simulation and behavior!
