and that's strange, isn't it?

Why?

Because language is something

that people acquire.

Well, some people believe

language exists from birth.

And what is learned is the

ability to attach words

and structure to the latent ability.

Do you agree with that?

I don't know.

Will you come back

tomorrow, Caleb?

Yes.

Good.

Oh, man, she's fascinating.

When you talk to her,

you're just...

Through the looking glass.

"Through the looking glass."

Wow.

You're good with words, Caleb.

You're quotable.

Actually, that's

someone else's quote.

You know, I wrote down that

other line you came up with.

The one about how

if I've invented a machine

with consciousness,

I'm not a man, I'm God.

I don't think

that's exactly what I...

I just thought, "F***,

man, that is so good."

When we get to

tell the story. You know?

I turned to Caleb,

and he looked up at me

and he said,

"You're not a man,

you're God."

Yeah, but I didn't say that.

So...

Anyway.

You're impressed.

Yes. Yes.

- Although...

- Although?

There's a qualification

to you being impressed?

No, there's no

qualification to her.

Uh, it's just

in the Turing Test,

the machine should be

hidden from the examiner.

No, no, no, we're way past that.

If I hid Ava from you,

so you just heard her voice,

she would pass for human.

The real test is to show you

that she's a robot

and then see if you still

feel she has consciousness.

Mmm.

Yeah, I think

you're probably right.

Her language abilities,

they're incredible.

The system is stochastic.

Right?

It's non-deterministic.

At first I thought

she was mapping

from internal semantic form

to syntactic tree-structure

and then getting

linearized words.

But then I started to realize the

model was some kind of hybrid.

Caleb.

No?

I understand that you want

me to explain how Ava works.

But I'm sorry,

I'm not gonna be able to do that.

Try me. I'm hot

on high-level abstraction.

It's not because I think

you're too dumb.

It's because I want to have a

beer and a conversation with you.

Not a seminar.

Yeah. Sorry.

No, it's okay.

You're all right.

Just...

Answer me this.

How do you feel about her?

Nothing analytical.

Just how do you feel?

I feel

that she's f***ing amazing.

Dude.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Damn it.

What the f***?

Power cut.

Backup power activated.

Full facility lock-down until

main generator is restored.

You're kidding me.

Full facility lock-down until

main generator is restored.

Power restored.

Hello?

Please insert keycard.

You don't have access to use the phone.

Hey.

Sorry, but you understand,

though, given Ava,

and you being

kind of an unknown.

I mean, a great guy.

Instant pals, and so on.
