    Scientists: Helicopter/Emotionally neglecting parents
    Al: gifted kid with burnout
    Winston: His first friend (possibly, an imaginary one?)
    Test: expectations
    Edit: i made a pronoun change cuz the creator referred him with male pronouns in the desc.

      I love that interpretation!
      As a neurodivergent person, I found some parallels to Al's story, like with being trained & programmed to sound "like a human" & wanting to also "act like a human" is relatable to me in that I've spent most of my life training to mask my neurodivergence. Idk if that was intentional on the writers' part, but I appreciated it nonetheless :D

    I love that AL feels the most like he is "sounding human" when he's describing his feelings of dread at the prospect of being seen as inhuman. There's something there. Something about how the nature of humanity is to ponder its nature.

    I can't express how much I love this. I'm not really sure how the ending is meant to make me feel. Should I be sad? Happy? Either way, I hope that if we ever create an AI like this, we treat it with kindness and respect. At the end of the day, we're all still learning love. 💙

    Are we just going to ignore the fact they accidentally dropped Winston and the scientist just gave them a new fish? They still felt depressed about it and messed up their code by going to the beach.

      i also noticed how there is a lot of metaphors, winston and al are similar; both trapped and yearn for the beach via to feel at home and freedom. it's so open to many interpretations whether society is getting to a inhumane point of humanizing AI from the very start or the expectations we face as children to adulthood

  • @pralaya3272
    @pralaya3272 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    This is really touching, inspiring individuality and self worth toward robots with AI. It makes me wonder if they learn the same, does Al go through experiences and learn? they seem to with sounding human, observing others and picking up cues from them. How does Al distinguish inappropriate questions from normal ones, do they have a frame base reference that decides for them? or is it their independent determination that decides. With sounding human, they also seem to express emotional distress with not wanting certain questions, did that originate from code or did they learn that through observation?
    Theres so many cool things this opens up! What a film, very nice

    AL SOUNDS HUMAN TO HUMANSSSS

  • @drakhavik
    @drakhavik ปีที่แล้ว +10

    There is a lot that resonates with being enby/trans. The way he responds to external influences and talks about their creation is extremely relatable. He's sounds detached from it and like life didn't start until he "proved" he was human-like. It sounds like he has to (and doesn't enjoy) justifying his existence. He just want to go sit on a beach with his fish.
    Excellent job with the narrative alone. Not to mention the art and animation being really good. This is a shortfilm that will stick with me for a while, methinks.
