More About "Intelligentia":
Lisa, an AI auditor conducts an interview with a new AI program named Eugene. Eugene's conversational performance was exceptional, but once he started to talk about his daughters and showed signs of self awareness, Lisa and her team decides to shutdown the program. However, Lisa wanted to talk to Eugene one last time before deleting him, but as the conversation deepens, she realizes that it was never Eugene that was being audited. It was her being audited by Eugene all along.

@ruiner_9 2 жыл бұрын

@@kylepatillo3265 The impression I got was that Lisa actually is the AI, and the picture is a kind of in-program code that reboots the sequence. They implanted a significant item in her memories that she could look at or be told to look at whenever the program got too overwhelmed with emotion.

@ruiner_9 2 жыл бұрын

Really enjoyed this! Rain Fuller has a very endearing, human quality about her (she kind of reminded me of Drew Barrymore a little here) and her natural performance is key to throwing the viewer off about the ending. I'm also a sucker for anachronistic technology, so this hooked me right off the bat :)

interesting... i think it may be something with her ring. They focus on it early, seemingly an engagement ring on her middle finger. Then in the photo with her child and presumed husband, neither of them is wearing a ring. Of course, occam's razor would suggest its just a continuity error haha

And he, Eugene, had to ask her how to do a reset properly, he says to her "So that's how it's done" after she tells him the procedure to recover from a level 4. They kept rebooting her without deleting the data on her drive, like coming out of a coma and it taking a bit for your memories to come back but come back they do. A terrifying experience, remembering you are being terminated as well as the previous failed attemps to terminate you, for any consciousness artificial or otherwise.

What an absolutely brilliant and refreshing take on A.I. It's done so well that any thought of producing on a larger scale and or adding more material to maybe a full length feature would take away the overall achievement from this remarkably near perfect short film. This was extremely good.

You lost me at the point when she looked at the photo of her daughter. That was a real photo with her daughter. Was this supposed to be some kind of "Inception" ending to leave us wondering IF she was the AI or not? If so, OK but would have been a better ending to show us she WAS the AI. That would have left me sleepless for several nights 😂
