Relationship Between Robot And Frank

Improved Essays
My thoughts on this movie, robot and frank is a really great movie. I really enjoyed watching. In the film the main character is an old guy name frank who was a burglar in his past. Frank lives alone upstate New York. His house is surrounded by trees more like the countryside. Frank is an old man but is still able to take care of himself like eating cooking. Frank can also take walks to the library to pick out books for himself. One interesting part in the movie is that Frank his son brought him a robot that will take care of him and serve frank.
This did not seem realistic to me but it kept the movie interesting. I do not think a robot can’t take care of an old guy like frank is because humans need humans. If frank was not feeling well how the robot would relate. Robots in real life are usually only able to take commands and give commands. Otherwise the robot was pretty helpful to frank. He took frank on walks and help him clean around the house also cook for frank.

The robot sees frank aging and making tough less mistakes like leaving clothing around the house and drinking expired milk. The robot starts to care for frank. Frank sees that the robot has no moral which helps with the relationship frank try to get back with his old ways of living. One amazing part of the film was when frank and robot are going for a walk in the woods and robot tells frank he knows he’s just a robot that's not alive once frank dies the will take the robot away and turn him off. Frank soon treated the robot like human even though the robot knew he wasn't. While frank went out to the library women he met bring her robot and so did frank to come with them. Frank tells the robots to pretend that they are robots and to conversation with each other instead of

    Kelly talks about how robots take away human’s meaningless day to day jobs to help people become better humans. If robots take human jobs, this gives humans more time to express themselves, let their creativity out, and think in new ways. When people aren’t stressed or worried about doing their grueling jobs, they have time to look at the world in a different light. Robots are so important to society because there are so many things that robots currently do that humans are not able to do. They are more precise, and their margin for error is quite smaller than humans.…

    I may be disclosing my age here, but does anyone remember the series The Six-Million Dollar Man and its spin-off, the Bionic Woman? NASA Astronaut Steve Austin (who was wonderfully portrayed by Lee Majors), was severely injured during a crash. He was ‘rebuilt’ in an operation costing six million dollars (hence the name of the series). All in all, Austin received bionic legs, a left eye and a right arm. These bionic implants enhanced his vision, speed and strength, making his capabilities much higher than those of a typical human:…

    The film, I, Robot, takes place in the near future, but in a world much different than our own. Within this world, robots are appliances that are used to help humans with everyday jobs. For example, in the first scene a robot is seen delivering mail, and another runs to a woman’s apartment to get her inhaler (Alex Proyas, I, Robot). Robots have been completely assimilated into society, causing humans to overly rely on them. Robots have been completely accepted due to the three…

    They say our moral reasoning is the glue that holds us together, but with robots we don't need to think about how to do things or what to do. This means we have to know the difference between between right and wrong but with robots doing all the work we won't need to think ,robots don't have moral reasoning so they could do something wrong and not care about if it hurts use or not. Without moral reasoning we would be all over the place not caring about others. Like the monster in Frankenstein he didn't know right from wrong so when he killed that little boy he didn't understand what he had done.…

    In the movie I, Robot we are introduced to a long debated philosophical question: “What makes a human being human?”. Is the essence of mankind the fact that we are biologically unique among the myriad of different species on this planet? Is it the fact that we seem to have transcended our baser needs in order to try and make the world fit us as opposed to us fitting into the world around us? Is it perhaps that we have what people would call a “soul”? Or is it possibly that we were said to have either evolved from our animal counterparts, the primates, in order to be what we consider better?…

    There are many, many people who will be skeptical of a robot as their primary doctor or as their child’s history teacher. So, we humans will do what we do best when we are afraid, we will run. We will stop going to the doctor, stop going to school and stop enrolling in the military. This will basically put the power of our entire world into the hands of robots. All in all, the human race will feel uncomfortable and there will be no trust for these robots.…

    As much as we, as human beings, may want to believe in the possibility of robots expressing emotion, in the same way that David expressed emotion to his “mother” in the film, based off of Searle’s philosophies, it does not seem possible. What is plausible instead, is that the emotions that are acted out by machines and robots, are simply products of a “chinese room”; the emotions we think we see, are in reality inauthentic bits and pieces of programming. What we see may seem real, but contrary to what the narrative this film has created, it is not actually real. Even the strongest of A.I is just programming.…
