[The world we are currently traveling to is ‘New Kind’.]
New Kind.
To put it simply, this movie was about an artificial intelligence android gaining self-awareness and engaging in conflict with humans to gain the rights of the android.
It is a subject matter that created numerous masterpieces in the past, and is also a topic that is constantly consumed in the present. Because similar games, novels, comics, etc. were stories that were revealed when they were forgettable.
However, if there is something that sets New Kind apart from other works, it is that it chose a unique genre called an interactive movie or interactive film, where the ending and story change depending on the viewer’s choices.
The movie takes place from the perspective of the female protagonist named Blair Lovena, and depending on the viewer’s choices, the conflict with the androids may escalate or, conversely, they may fight on the android’s side for their rights.
From what I heard, I may have a love line with an android… It can be said that there are a lot of different options and routes.
Anyway, since it is not an interactive movie, the ending is largely divided into two cases: a happy ending and a bad ending. Depending on the choice you make, it will be decided whether you will coexist with the androids or whether you will make sacrifices and fight against them to destroy them.
The movie ‘New Kind’ was about whether artificial intelligence androids can be recognized as a new species.
In general, there were many opinions that recognizing the rights of androids and choosing to coexist with humans would be a happy ending. This is because the conflict does not escalate and explode into war like in other endings, but the problem is resolved relatively peacefully.
‘But from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t really seem like a happy ending.’
In the first place, androids were designed to replace and serve human labor. An object with a clearly defined purpose of birth suddenly says, ‘I, too, am a person with emotions and consciousness,’ and is treated the same as a person?
So who does the chores that androids have been doing, and where does the budget for androids’ welfare come from?
In addition, Android has superior hardware and software specifications than humans due to the characteristics of machines and artificial intelligence. If androids start to have the same rights as humans, it is obvious that humans will have less and less space to stand on.
If you respond in a soft way, like giving up your seat because you don’t want to fight, you don’t know what they’ll ask for next.
‘I don’t know what will happen because the story after the ending was not shown in the movie.’
Contrary to what I thought, a utopia where androids and humans live in harmony may have actually been realized.
That’s just the way I see it, with a human-centered mindset. I am of the opinion that machines should remain human tools.
‘anyway… There were EMP weapons that appeared during the war here, and there were also filming drones used by broadcasting stations. If you look for it, you may be able to obtain advanced electronic equipment such as hacking equipment.’
“Phew… ”
After confirming that I had entered the destination, I looked around.
The name of the city I am standing in is Elysion. It is the spatial background where the story takes place in the movie, and is a futuristic city called paradise due to androids replacing physical labor.
However, as it is a huge city, there are areas that are relatively uninteresting even in this place called paradise.
Unlike the neatly managed city center, the streets are littered with trash and cheap signs. It was a relatively underdeveloped landscape. At first glance, it looked similar to the slums of Auckland where a gang had recently robbed it.
The difference is that the cars traveling on nearby roads move slightly in the air.
The place where I appeared was in that alley of a street.
‘As expected, there are no cameras around here.’
I made sure there were no prying eyes and checked my body.
No separate external changes were made. This is because it is not a long-term travel destination and it is convenient if you want to move according to a plan you had planned in advance.
In the physical aspect, it was confirmed that the abilities were applied properly, but there was one big difference.
‘I don’t feel any special abilities.’
The natural ability that was registered as baggage had completely disappeared from the body. Since it was a function of the power of the ticket, it was clear that I would be able to use this ability again when I returned to reality, but I couldn’t help but feel empty.
It was a souvenir that was very useful not only in battle but also in everyday life, so it felt as if a hand had disappeared.
‘It’ll take some time to get used to it… ‘
After looking around, I first moved to establish my identity. In the future society, if you don’t have a status, there are no restrictions on movement, but there is nothing to lose by having it.
‘And the status I’m thinking of is a bit of a special case.’
Shuuuungㅡ
Numerous unmanned vehicles were seen passing on the road. Looking at the amazing sight of it floating slightly in the air and moving around, it didn’t seem a bad idea to put one in your inventory as a collectible and take it back with you. If a road with a faint glow plays a role, it may not work on real roads, but you never know.
‘Guidebook, tell me the location of Paradise Club.’
[Paradise Club is located five blocks in the direction you are walking and you can find the entrance in the building on the left.]
A guidebook guy I haven’t seen in a very long time. It was usually used as a navigation system when traveling for the first time, and after a certain amount of time, the original text started to become distorted, so it was a function that was difficult to find.
It has not only location coordinates but also a map function, so it can be used if you want to use it, but since I have never lost my way or had a stop in my travels, this function is relatively cold. This has been especially true recently as I have become stronger and need less help.
I probably would only use it often when I found a travel destination that I had roughly researched, or when I entered a travel destination set in medieval fantasy or the past where maps and the like were not properly developed.
‘Although Tuseonhyeophaengrok is set in the past, there were no problems because someone else always took on the role of finding the way.’
As I walked along the road following the guidebook’s instructions and looked around, my destination caught my eye. A gorgeous building located on the border of an underdeveloped area. A hologram of a woman with a nice body dancing wearing only her underwear was playing repeatedly.
Paradise Club. It was a futuristic entertainment establishment where androids were used as sex robots.
‘And at the same time, it is also the place where the incident at the beginning of the movie takes place and the main character, a reporter, visits.’
I naturally passed through the entrance and entered Paradise Club.
“Cool oppa there~ Look here~”
“Do you have some time? Let’s drink together!”
“How do you like my breasts? Don’t you want to touch it? You can touch it as much as you want.”
As soon as I went inside, I was met with flirtations from sex androids who probably thought I was a male customer.
In the show windows installed on the left and right of the long hallway, stunningly beautiful women were posing in almost naked clothes to emphasize their sex appeal.
Looking at it this way, it was not understandable to feel sympathy for the android’s appearance or to mistake it for the same person.
To me, who observed them through a sense of humor, it feels like androids are closer to scrap metal than living things, but to the average person, they don’t seem any different from ordinary people.
Still, I plan to see a lot of android faces from now on, and I was fortunate that they didn’t look like the uncanny valley.
“Guest? How did you come?”
Unlike the androids in the shop window, a real human spoke to me. He was a man with strange fashion that was difficult to understand, with what looked like a leather strap wrapped around his body.
And he was also the character in the scene where he was talking to the main character in the original work I researched.
This is the manager of Paradise Club.
I don’t know if I came in at the right time when I was looking at my karma, but I was lucky. Because it saves you the trouble of looking for it.
I smiled brightly and handed him the placebo ID card.
“This is the Android you ordered.”
From today, I am an Android appraiser.
