I, Robot - Human emotions scene

Detective Del Spooner: Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot take a blank canvas and turn it into a masterpiece?

Sonny: Can you?

BUUUUUUUUUURN!!!

[TheOli]

The funny thing about Sonny's response of "Can you?" is that I don't even think he was trying to roast him. He seemed genuinely curious. Probably the best unintentional burn in film history xD

[KitKatNisa]

I love that Sonny wasn't even trying to make a comeback. He almost sounded like a child, asking an innocent question.

"Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot take a blank canvas and turn it into a masterpiece?"

Did not age well.

This is one of the best comeback lines in a film lol

[desinihilist]

Can a robot walk up to a stage during the Oscars and slap a comedian?

"can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?"
"Can you?"

That moment when the robot not only has a good comeback but also has a valid point

This really resonates, now with AI art and all

[alejandrob.]

-can a robot create a dank meme?
-can you?

[kojarart]

The irony that.. AI nowadays can do both of these

[punknoodles]

And just yesterday, a story came up of an AI winning a state fair art competition.

Never say never.

[thaliuswarborn]

wanna know what's best behind this "comeback"? by the tonality of the robot you can tell that it asked in the earnest way possible, like how a child would ask an adult if he knows what 5 times 5 is with utmost admiration and a sincere wish to learn from him
that's what makes this line pure gold; if it was a question aimed with ill intent it wouldn't have packed such a punch because it would've been dismissed as an imitation of a insult based on a simulation of rageful emotions, whereas an honest question backed by a desire to understand what makes a human capable of conquering those abstract ideas serves to both humble AND remind Del that just because he is "human" it doesn't mean he's capable of the best of the best like previous virtuosos and thus cuts deep into the inherent human pride that rears its ugly head in when dealing with machines that can't work beyong binary thinking.

Robot replies "can you take a joke about your wife?"

[VelhoTeste]

...and within 18 years it turns out that yes, robots can both make art masterpieces and compose symphonies!

[Nnm]

It’s crazy how in reality doing art is the first thing that AI is capable of performing at a high level.

[mcdonalds]

Del: Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?
Sonny: Yes. Can you find a wife who loves you?

[Nanntektinten]

It hurts when I pee now, after reading that description.
