![]() THAT'S WHEN YOU REALIZE THE ENTIRE POINT OF THIS NARRATIVE IS THAT THERE ISN'T AS MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CALEB AND NATHAN AS CALEB SEEMS TO THINK. Rather than paraphrase the FilmCritHulk, I'll quote him: This informs not just how he approaches AI, but also he feels about women too. That's a pretty messed up idea of intelligence, especially when he could have just as easily run the actual Turing Test without being so needlessly cruel. His idea of proving the intelligence of a feminine AI is to catch her trying to manipulate a man. The real question is: what does this test that Nathan designed say about him? Asking whether Ava passes the test is the wrong question though. The movie even describes what the actual Turing Test is to illustrate how different Nathan's test is. The answer however is highly ambiguous so I'm interested to hear thoughts on either side. Personally I think she didn't, because it is human nature to feel empathy and recognise the pain she was causing to Caleb, but clearly this was not a factor in Ava's actions at the end. She did not act the way a normal, healthy human would act- she was like a sociopath, purely motivated by her programming and objectives. Since Caleb fell for it, this would mean she passed the test right?Įxcept she acted purely for herself, without considering the implications of leaving Caleb to die. This means she lied about her attraction to Caleb and wanting to go on a date. She certainly could've taken Caleb with her if she wanted, but she didn't, and I think the reason for this is she concluded he would hinder her escape somehow. ![]() She said that she wanted to go on a date with Caleb at an intersection, but at the end she stands alone. ![]() Taking advantage of her attractiveness, Ava tricks Caleb and leaves while trapping him in his bedroom. We learn later that Nathan programmed Ava with the objective to escape. Nathan suggests that the mark of a truly artificial human is if they can successfully pretend to feel emotions. According to Caleb, the film's protagonist, the Turing test is a success when you can't tell whether the machine you are talking to is human or a computer. ![]()
