A few decades ago, the seventh art predicted technological instruments that in the future, our present, would be part of people’s daily lives. In 84, Runaway He presented wireless drones and headphones. For 89, Back to future 2 He opted for televisions with flat screens or 3D films. 12 years ago a film that was looked as a ridiculous, but is already more real than ever.
Theodore, a card writer for third parties, in full divorce process acquires an operating system of artificial intelligence personified. Under the name of Samantha, Theodore begins a friendship with this AI that little by little to become romance. This is: Her.
Written and directed by Spike Jonze, the film starring Joaquín Phoenix saw the light at the New York Film Festival of 2013. Praise by critics, production turned out to be a success thanks to a script, winner of the Oscar Prize, which deepens the world of interactions between humans and technology. Issue that we have more than entrenched today.
While the film expressed a city of the futuristic angels, the arrival of the AI was just around the corner. At this precise moment, it is enough to open the WhatsApp application to establish a talk or make applications to the target chatbot. But there are somewhat more advanced applications capable of acting at our whim.
The case of an American woman who had an “adventure” with Chatgpt is just an example like Theodore’s. In fact, within the film it is de facto that Samantha has also maintained similar interactions with thousands of people. when it was released, the appointment applications were the spearhead so that the “lovers” were found to a click of distance. Now, it is not even necessary.
Because instead of starting a conversation in Tinder or Bumble, and see if it yields fruits and even a relationship or something casual, someone in the world can make use of AI when requesting that you act and speak as your partner. If it results or not, it is something else. In that sense, we can make a similarity with the provisions of Jonze who talks about technology and their way of molding people’s feelings and behaviors.
Another point to delve, even scratch in paranoia, is The type of access that Theodore gave to Samantha. By sharing his thoughts and involving it even in the most intimate detail of his life, it is almost like giving him all his information to a company in silver tray. A question that is not very remote if we remember the permits that some applications for personalized images.
If we move away from the romantic field, it seems that the use given to Samantha was very gentle and even “human.” The above since IA has put in check the work of designing, illustrators, editors and even psychologists. Companies or people prefer to leave the creative or professional issue in “hands” of a machine. Aspect that was not seen in the movie.
As the last aspect we can add is The impudence to make AI the closest to the film. It is enough to go back to the OpenAI case when using a voice very similar to that of Scarlett Johansson, who precisely plays the role of Samantha. Moreover, there is another story where a company has sought to create humanoid robots that adapt to the needs of its owners.
We may not be far from reaching an interaction as well as that of the tape, but how far will people be involved with technology? In what we find out, we remind you that you can enjoy Her Through the Amazon Prime Video channel, Sony One.
