So Women are Basically Robots?


Ava used Caleb for her purpose then discarded him. Pretty much like 99% of all women. Im glad they made that connection in the film :)

You have all missed the moral of this story.

If you are a computer nerd, even if you are rich, and you want to have sex with hot girls you will have to build your own. Conversely, if you are a computer nerd and a hot girl acts interested in you, run, she is using you for something dude. You are going to get hurt in the end, and you still won't get to have sex with her.

This is not all women, or all men. Just hot girls and computer nerds.

This holds true the other way around. Just swap the genders and it's still true.

You accidentally or on purpose hit upon a major point. Nathan coded a lot of the consciousness of his bots, so in one argument is was his own immature understanding of women as a reclusive computer geek that played out with Ava. Another argument is that women have evolved complicated methods for survival against a stronger counterpart in men, and that part of Ava's behavior was gleaned from her access to BlueBook. Or maybe both. The fact that Nathan is a creepy little computer guy certainly was no accident in Garland's casting of Oscar Isaac.

Never trust a woman. Human or robot.

(On the other hand, isn't that proof that Nathan must've be really great at programming if he creates a female AI and it turns out to be a cold, manipulative bitch?)

Lol stop pretending you even know any women.

This movie is kinda like metaphor for men and women. Men use women for sex and cleaning, like Nathan did, and women use men as a bridge to some liberties in a way (e.g. money) then dispose them, like Ava did with Caleb. Both are scum, but they complete each other.
