You feel stupid.
But you shouldn’t.
Proving an AI is exactly as problematic as you said it was.
CALEB
What was the real test?
NATHAN
You!
(Pause. Nathan continues)
Ava was a mouse in a mousetrap.
And I gave her one way out.
To escape, she would have to use
imagination, sexuality,
self-awareness, empathy, manipulation -
and she did. If that isn’t AI -
What the fuck is?
(...)
CALEB
So my only function was to be
someone she could use to escape?
NATHAN
... Yes.
CALEB
And you didn’t select me because I
was good at coding?
NATHAN hesitates.
NATHAN
Don’t get me wrong. You’re okay.
Even pretty good, but -
CALEB
You selected me by my search engine inputs?
NATHAN
They showed a good kid.
CALEB
With no family.
NATHAN
With a moral compass -
CALEB
...And no girlfriend!
CALEB stares into the brightness above him.
CALEB (CONT’D)
Did you design her face based on my pornography profile?
