Blade Runner

An interesting concept for a movie of it's time. Although the director is Ridley Scott haha. The entire movie questions and keeps bringing forth questions about artificial intelligence and what conscious thought is. They are to bring these machines who turn bad offline but some of them even start to develop emotion. They are forced to evaluate many humans to find the replicants, this is how real the machines are made. This poses many moral questions on us today about making machines with artificial intelligence and just how dangerous of an act that would be. Artificial intelligence scares me on a deep level and this movie kept me in this creepy realm of dystopia where we lose sight of the 'worth' of machines as they integrate with it. What is truly scary is that machines could become so powerful, in intelligence mostly, that they could start to eliminate the human population without us even knowing. Just some things to think about ;)
