“The Matrix (franchise)”
“[Nonaka and Alexa talk of converting an intelligent machine to help them]
Alexa: Will it...? Do you think it will convert?
Nonaka: To convert is its choice to make.
Alexa: Do you think we ought to reprogram it?
Nonaka: No. We can't make slaves of them.
Alexa: Because that would be simpler.
Nonaka: We won't beat the machines by making them our slaves. Better to let them join us by choice.
Alexa: Make them believe the right choice is the one we want.
Nonaka: All right. Yes, machines are tools. They're made to be used. It's their nature.
Alexa: To be slaves.
Nonaka: That's why we show them a better world, why they convert.
Alexa: But that world we show them isn't real.
Nonaka: It doesn't matter.
Alexa: I'm afraid they'll figure out that we've made up the thing in our heads.
Nonaka: They can't tell the difference. To an artificial mind, all reality is virtual. How do they know that the real world isn't just another simulation? How do you?
Alexa: I know I' m not dreaming now because I know what its like being in a dream.
Nonaka: So dreaming lets you know that reality exists?
Alexa: No. Just that my mind exists. I don't know about the rest.[ Allusion to Cogito, ergo sum.] ”
