The sequel to the horror “Megan”, which was released last week, ended with a scene, which many spectators and critics found it not only strange, but dangerously naive.
The last “Megan 2” (M3GAN 2.0) caused a flurry of discussions and accusations of “shameless” propaganda of artificial intelligence-more, against the background of the plot, in which the AI once got out of hand and arranged a series of murders.
In the second part the film changed the genre: instead of a room horror, a complete action with a full fight. The Megan Doll returns to protect Cadie and Jamma against a new threat – a fight Android called Amelia, made on the basis of his own prototype. The draw takes the heroes deep into the company, where Underground is stored, super-like AI called motherboard and another experiment from the 1980s.
Culminaling is a classic act of self-sacrifice: Megan destroys Amelia and motherboard, activates the EMP frame and thus saves humanity. As it emphasizes in the film, she does not do it by order, but because “so good”. A direct reference to the Terminator 2, where the hero of Arnold Schwarzenegger sacrifices himself in the name of the future. The difference is that Megan is not a hero. This is still a car that has become a murderer in the first part.
The last agreement of the film is the performance of Jamma in Washington, where she suddenly starts to defend the need for cooperation with AI. According to her, people must “become the best parents” for technology, so that joint evolution does not lead to a disaster, but to the trade union. The movie sounds:
“We don’t have to fight AI. We have to study with him.”
This scene caused a heavy reaction. Critics accused the filmmakers of reducing the conflict to morality that is useful for companies. In circumstances in which AI is actively used for automation, supervision and creation of fake content, the last righteous technologies is strange, to say the least.
They were mainly accepted acutely by the fact that it was jamma – an engineer whose development led to tragic consequences – now he calls for “understanding and acceptance” technologies.
Although the third part is already being discussed on the sidelines, some spectators feel that the franchise is going further from what it was generally loved: a hard tone, a clear moral vector and reflection on the dangers of technology.
Instead a gloomy fairy tale with a message:
“Ai is not an enemy, you just treated him badly.”
