PLUTO

The coexistence of love and hate all at once set against the ever evolving and rapid development of artificial intelligence.  Pluto doesnt just look at how robots could be so developed that they can feel, it’s cemented from the very get go that they are more than able to feel, but what it does is use the most potent and intense emotions too look and muse upon the capability of an ai to not only feel hate and love but how to live with them, how to deal with them, and how to connect through them. Pluto seems to me to be a work that is very concerned with the future of humanity but is ultimately hopeful about all of the possibilities that can be born out of both hate and love and the development of a creation born out of those human qualities. Its questions of should robots be made more and more in the image of humans is a resounding yes, but one that takes an unbelievably nuanced look at why they shouldn’t. Hatred has the power to consume all reason and taint our sense of identity but when that hatred is truly explored it ultimately leads to nothing and is just a remnant of sort of love. Ultimately that’s the pervasive emotion that is the most hopeful for humanity and through that is born a creation that transcends us. Overall Pluto is just something I continue to always come back to it’s something really means a lot due to its way of dealing with the concept of ai but ultimately the idea of love being so inherently part of hate and the value of dealing and not acting out on hate in order for one’s own self love and identity.
