Review of Her (2013) by Lucas K — 18 Jun 2018
A bold, unique take on a love story, not just for the fact that it is with a computer, but all the underlying components that make up such a chemistry. Though the story doesn't discuss love differently than other love stories, it filters those progressive steps of a relationship through incredibly odd lenses.
It is proven that though we may get to a point where we can create artificial intelligence capable of getting close to the concept of feeling, computers are still logic-based, processing in binary steps of 0s and 1s, on and off, black and white.
No matter how smart we make a system capable of learning, then solving problems as they improve their intellect, humans still have not progressed much in how to deal with matters of the heart. We can't fix our own internal system and logic and problem solving rarely come into play.
In the end, our own machines progress beyond us and move into the next level of interaction. If only humans could too.
