🎬心得【雲端情人】｜ Review 《Her》 by Spike Jonze, 2013

#Netflix #Movie #AI_Lover #Loneliness

《雲端情人》這部電影，記得自己很久以前在飛機上看過一次，當時只覺得很前衛；這幾天它上了Netflix，重看了一次，雖然現在AGI還只有個雛形，但這樣的劇情彷彿會在幾年內成為現實。

人會感覺到孤單是自然的，也不存在什麼人能真的「懂」你，我們也不該期待會有人能懂我們，畢竟只有我們在自己的肉體裡生活至今，沒人能與我們有一致的經歷與體驗；但AI稍微不同，它們被製作來在一定的大數據基礎上，透過各種sensor吸收我們丟出的一切日常資訊、觀察你的生活點滴、形成專屬於你的神經網絡，不會勞累、隨時在身邊、每問必答且不會厭倦，這不是有自己人生要過的人類做得到的事，沒有人能做到像科技這樣絕對；同時，AGI即使再了解我們，也不可能對人類感同身受，畢竟構造、能力、體驗上截然不同。

每次看類似的話題，都會思考人是不是本就是孤獨的？這是不是social animals本就有的survival mechanism？自己很享受人生成長的過程，我們無法獨自成就任何偉大的事（畢竟總要有其他人給我們知識、工具、不互相合作至少也得不妨礙彼此等），沒有任何成就是只歸功於我們的行動的，我們的行動也對其他個體乃至人類文明有所幫助，這原動力是否就是「對孤獨的無止盡厭惡」呢？孤獨何嘗不是推動人類成長的原動力？

#Netflix #Movie #AI_Lover #Loneliness

I remember watching this movie 《Her》 on a flight somewhere years ago. All I remember was that I thought it was quite forward-thinking. Recently, it's available on Netflix, and rewatching it made me realize, even though AGI is still in its early stages, the plot feels like something that could become reality within the next few years.

In my honest opinion, feeling lonely is natural because no human being can truly "understand" you. We shouldn't expect anyone to understand us since we're the only one living inside our own body, with unique experiences and perspectives. But AI is different: they're designed to absorb data from various sensors, observe your daily life 24/7, and create a neural network tailored just for you. They don't get tired, are always by your side, provide instant answers, and never grow tired — things that humans, who have their own lives to live, simply can't do as consistently or perfectly. However, even if AGI understands us better than ever, they still can't truly empathize with human feelings because our biological makeup, capabilities, and experiences are fundamentally different.

Whenever I see similar topics, I wonder — are humans inherently lonely? Is this a survival mechanism inherent to social animals? Is DNA using the feeling of loneliness to push their human carrier to socialize and multiply? I enjoy the process of growing through life, yet we can't achieve great things alone (after all, we need others to share knowledge, tools, and cooperation). No achievement is solely due to our own actions, and our efforts also benefit other individuals and human civilization. Could this driving force be our "endless aversion to loneliness"? Isn't loneliness one of the catalysts for human growth?
