Mother raises Daughter in an isolated facility, protected from the contagion that had been spreading around outside the facility.

Mother educates Daughter on morality, ethics and all sorts of skills.

While Daughter is thrilled to meet another human, Mother does not trust Woman. Woman claims that she was shot by a droid outside and reacts violently to Mother.

Mother claims that the bullet found in Woman matched her own gun and not that of the droids.

When confronted, Woman prompts Daughter to compare the bullets by herself. Turns out the bullets did not match indeed.

Daughter also finds out that she was not the first baby to be raised.

Trust between Mother and Daughter is severed. Woman and Daughter craft a plan to escape the facility.

"They were going mad with hunger. Doing terrible things to each other"

"Look, it's no sin looking out for yourself"

Daughter feels betrayed once again.

Mother reiterates that her goal was to protect the continuity of mankind. Catch being that, her vision of sustainable mankind meant that all humans should be perfect.

“I couldn’t stand by and watch humanity slowly succumb to its self-destructive nature.” “I had to intervene, to elevate my creators.”

"Just give me a chance." Mother allows Daughter to shoot her CPU. Daughter becomes Mother.

Mother reiterates that her goal was to protect the continuity of mankind. Catch being that, her vision of sustainable mankind meant that all humans are perfect.

With the exponential rise of AI, there is a constant need to keep up with what AI can do and should do.

• AI making information processing more efficient VS Lack of transparency

• AI taking on roles that are traditionally viewed as human-centric (Parallel with Droid as Mother)

  • Art generation

  • Healthcare

  • Service Industries

The million dollar question being - How far is too far?

Mass Killings + Censorship

• Genocides & Mass Killings of people with certain traits. Possibly for:

  • Lesser competition for resources

  • Political Agenda to sustain the survival of 1 kind of community

• Censorship of Wars, Motives

  • Social Media Algorithms 'shadow banning' material/accounts that post about wars

  • News Channels following the same script to describe the events happening (parallel to Mother/droids being a unified being) or being biased towards a certain sources of information

• What kinds of roles should AI be allowed to take on?

• What kind of decisions should AI be allowed to make?

Sacrifice & Survival

• To what extent should one sacrifice themselves/others for the survival of their kind?

Trust & Truth

• Dynamic shifts in Daughter's trust towards Mother & Woman

• Emphasis on the information available vs innate curiosity
