The 2014 AD movie “Automata” was directed by Gabe Ibáñez and stars Antonio Banderas as Jacq Vaucan, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen as Rachel Vaucan, Melanie Griffith as Dr. Susan Dupré and voice of Cleo, Dylan McDermott as Wallace, Robert Forster as Robert Bold, Tim McInnerny as Vernon Conway, Andy Nyman as Ellis, David Ryall as Dominic Hawk, Andrew Tiernan as Manager, Christa Campbell as Tech, Bashar Rahal as Doctor, Javier Bardem as Blue Robot, et al.
This throws down the existential gauntlet as in an evolutionary scheme of things being “just a machine” is the same as being “just an ape.” On an Atheist evolutionary worldview the only difference is based on speciesism: an unjustified preference for one’s own species.
This is why, within the movie, humans had their evolutionary run on Earth and robots are next.
