Interesting show, but all looks so fake without AI.
2017 we have a big toll of lost jobs against AI and in the future, no robots among humans? no ai?
It is obviously lame and fake.
In fact, if you remove the ships it looks like 2020 fights between Russian (martians) and Americans or terrans.
Fire the writer and scripter, get things according the future.
It has A.I. There are robots. They just aren't the focus, because they are relatively boring as they actually work. A.I. is only interesting if it malfunctions and starts to become human. That's not the case here thankfully. Too many stories about that already. You should check out Westworld if that's what you're looking for. Even though nothing in that show sounds like probable future, it's still good. But this show is about humans in space and how we'd still be fighting just like U.S and Russia are fighting right now. Also aliens.
share100% agree that there are already plenty of stories about this, possibly more than needed. I get that some people like it, but I find it tiresome. For one thing, the most advanced AI today can still barely navigate a room on their own like a toddler, and have about as much intelligence as a small insect. The idea that we'll be ruled by AI in 150 years has about as much credibility as the idea that in 150 years we'll have colonies in other galaxies. Neither is very likely. It's going to take MUCH longer for that to happen, if it happens at all.
shareThe problem with your argument is that this series assumes we've colonised the inner solar system in the next few hundred years but somehow not managed to progress computers much beyond the next decade in terms of capability. Even the ships are manually piloted and gunned by people strapped to seats with 2D tablet displays!
It's more reasonable (realistics?) to expect A.I. automation at every level of off-world living covering services from tourism to policing, including robotic mining for ice...but then there would be no story!
A.I. is advanced, we just don't see it because it's not what story is about. We wouldn't use robots for mining if humans are cheaper and in this show humans are definitely cheaper.
shareAll this lame excuses:
A.I. is advanced, we just don't see it because it's not what story is about.
There are AI systems everywhere. The ship basically flies itself, with the pilot just inputting the destination and the thrust, and the ship calculates the best route. The ship's weapons only require the operator to designate targets and mode of attack, and the computer does all the work to actually hit the targets. The medical bay on the Rocinante is highly automated, it's basically the EMH on Voyager without the anthropomorphized hologram.
shareIt's possible that in the 200 years between now and then, humans realized the danger posed by AI and culture turned against it and a basic living wage was introduced on Earth. This would make an interesting storyline but it's not the current focus. Or is it? What was on the core of the ship and what is behind the coming war?
Since the Moon is covered in lights, human population didn't slow and probably amounts to 15 billion.
