Would you trust a machine that looks this human?

This clip is from the 2015 sci-fi thriller Ex Machina (directed by Alex Garland). It features Alicia Vikander as Ava, an advanced humanoid AI robot.

Key scenes: Close-ups of Ava's face and upper body with sections of synthetic skin peeled back or manipulated, revealing black mechanical endoskeleton, joints, gears, and wiring underneath. A human hand interacts with the exposed face/mouth area. Later shots show the lower torso/legs with fully exposed robotic structure (no skin). It ends with a close-up of Ava's face (skin partially or fully on) showing subtle expressions.

Core themes: Uncanny valley effect, the illusion of humanity in machines, vulnerability, and the blurred line between artificial and real. The visuals contrast hyper-realistic skin/hair/eyes with cold machinery, raising questions about consciousness, trust, deception, and what makes something "alive."

The clip perfectly illustrates why Ex Machina remains relevant in AI discussions today,especially with rapid advances in realistic robotics and generative AI.

Tone & impact: Visually striking and unsettling. It builds unease through intimate, clinical examination of the "body," highlighting both technological achievement and inherent artificiality. No dialogue in this clip, relying on visuals and subtle sounds/movements.

@UrdadLuvsMe247 Only if she thick.

@UrdadLuvsMe247 I don’t think she can think

Post 3/5 Ex Machina (2015) is one of the smartest AI movies ever made. It explores consciousness, manipulation, sexuality, power, and what it really means to be human. If you haven’t seen it, fix that immediately. Directed by Alex Garland (Annihilation, Devs).

Post 5/5 Have you seen Ex Machina? Favorite AI movie?

I don't even trust my microwave.

With the way the world is going some men will fall in love with robot

I don't think i will every trust such machine

Post 4/5 In 2026, with humanoid robots and hyper-realistic AI advancing fast, this scene hits different. Would you know if the person next to you wasn’t human? Could you ever fully trust them?

I feel like in the next 2 years Elon musk is going to come out with some robots like this lmao

Skynet had a reason for creating humanoid Terminators and covering them with living tissue.

I mean, maybe. I don't automatically trust humans that look that human.

You are wrong. This clip is from Westworld Season 4.

以后会更加像。

I am the Borg. Resistance is futile.

Will she do my all chores? Or just daily routine work? What if person want something different..

@raajkumaar91 There machine that do that too☹️

Really, are you sure?

Westworld was a great series.

Forget about trusting machines, I find it hard enough to trust people.

I can never. A machine is a machine.

Yes

Post 2/5 The scene masterfully plays with the uncanny valley. One moment she’s indistinguishable from a person, flawless skin, expressive eyes, subtle emotions. The next? Exposed wires, joints, and metal. A perfect reminder that appearances can deceive.

No of course not. Its very introduction to me is a lie by looking human.

This is from west world not ex machina

It depends less on how human it looks and more on how transparent and reliable it is. A friendly face can be reassuring—but trust should come from its actions, not its appearance. 🤖

Yes, if the machine act right can you still trust it?

Even if I see her in real life I won't know that she is a robot she is too clean to be a robot

She looks real

Not too human, but too perfect. I like some edge, just a little…

It looks real but machine is machine

Machines are completely trustworthy unless there isn't some defect in their programming.

Esto no es west world?

信頼できるもなにも 貴方が普段接してる友人、恋人、街ですれ違う他人が、 ロボットじゃないって言いきれるのかい？

No any body can't believe it The Power of science
