Vivy: The song of Fluorite Eye
Chapter 1: My Code - To keep everyone happy with my singing
We begin our journey 100 years into the future where humans lost the war against AI. How did we come to this resolution? And most importantly, is there any way I can avoid this? This first chapter travels in time and leads us to the only AI that can avoid this war. Diva is the first humanoid AI that is most similar to a human, from their looks to their ability to communicate and express their thoughts and "emotions". She's on a mission to make people happy with her singing, but that mission takes a different turn whenever a strange file appears on her system, forcing her to do an even more important one. It depends on her that she can make people happy.
Chapter 2: The Beginning of the Centennial Journey
We already know the path Diva has to take to save people from extinction. The war between AI and humans arises from a series of events that transform AI into humans. The Nomenclature Act assigns every AI a proper name and at the same time grants them rights like every other citizen. The law is passed by an anti-AI group in recognition of Senator Youichi Aikawa's work after his death. His assassination must be prevented in order to prevent the AI ββfrom taking the path to autonomy and war against humans. Saving the Senator will not be an easy thing, Diva will have to face herself and use all her strength to be worthy of this very important journey.
Find the five differences
Vivy: Fluorite Eye's song got off to a great start by giving us an important discussion today. Reason has been the banner of humanism since the 18th century and the most obvious distinction between humans and animals. The path mankind has taken from the exaltation of reason has been in terms of scientific and technological progress. Since we speak of the principle of life in relation to energy, mechanics and technology could produce rational beings, we call them artificial intelligences.
Differentiating between humans and AIs was even more complicated than distinguishing between animals. is that AIs think and communicate in grammatical and mathematical logic and are able to know everything. There are all kinds of AI in the Middle Land, but each with a specific purpose because even though they know everything, they cannot do everything. something very similar to human life.
Vivy: emotions and purposes
During this time we live with androids, we need to be different from them. Our ability to love, be happy or unhappy is what sets us apart from AI. Diva was created with a mission to make people happy with their singing. She understands what happiness is as a concept, but not as an emotion. Her little friend Momoka insists that she must sing from her heart in order to reach the hearts of her audience and take over the main stage. pretty obvious thing. The task is complicated because, despite knowing the different ways this phrase can be interpreted, Diva has neither a heart nor a soul. In short, it's just a machine, but that attitude is also with humans.
The development of emotions arises from memories, from experiences with the world that mark memories that are difficult to dissolve in us. Diva stops being a diva as soon as she starts living and filling herself with memories; At that moment it becomes Vivy. But then can artificial intelligences be viewed as humans or are they just machines with excellent language skills?
Save the Senator
The law of nomenclature is an important turning point in the plot and reasoning of history and its development. Vivy's first mission is to prevent Senator Aikawa's death, to keep this law from being passed and to prevent the AIs from gaining rights equal to human beings. Vivy isn't sure how she's going to save humanity. By rescuing the Senator, she faces all the obstacles the AI ββneeds to feel and act. Matsumoto was their guide, but neither does he manage to give Vivy the strength and courage to understand that her existence has taken a different course.
Although the second chapter keeps us on the verge of insanity with so much drama and tension, the most important thing happens when Vivy encounters anger and gallantry. Rescuing the anti-AI agent gives her a kind of courage that brings her closer to people. When Vivy sees the plane Momoka is traveling in explode, she lets out a real scream that resembles sadness. At the end of the second chapter, the protagonist not only knows the meaning of the word "heart" and the many possible uses. she can feel it too. The argumentative proposal of this anime leads us to think about the use of language and its connection with emotions. Music is the solution between reason and passion.
Vivy's final takeaways: Fluorite Eye's Song
Not only does this anime seem like a wonderful piece of entertainment for its animation, its plot far surpasses the typical science fiction anime. Right now, human and AI coexistence is so close and inevitable. We live it every day with smartphones that it is almost impossible to say that we are not part of the technological revolution. With every update the androids become humans, but the principle of life cannot be explained with energy alone. I'm so preoccupied with the main character that by the end of the second chapter I find it hard to say he's just a machine with a human silhouette.
The spectrum of human emotions or passions is what the arts are about. Before the eighteenth century humanism was understood in terms of the soul, particularly in terms of its inclinations; He tried to understand human emotions and to reproduce and mimick them in music, theater, dance, poetry and painting. It may seem strange to us that an AI with the sole mission of making people happy with their song was chosen to save them, but it makes a lot of sense to me once we witness their ability to move human emotions beyond to live on concepts.
Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song is a futuristic anime that is very worthwhile. It's a production by WIT Studio and they did a great job of adapting it. The dialogues are natural and precise, the scriptwriters know where they are going and what they are trying to demonstrate. I invite you to watch this anime closely and get more than the screen shows us. Theorizing isn't always bad; Each anime has different interpretations and approaches to the public. I am sure we will see a great story be born.
