In one of the key scenes of Prometheus David’s provocative question regarding one’s parents’ death is answered by Shaw expressing that she had not wished for her parents’ death. David’s reaction is an uppish sneer. What do you think about it? Is it programmed or not?

BigDave’s comment from a previous thread:

’Fassbender has said its the Human/Emotional Traits of David that causes concerns as far as how others persevere David. And so indeed thats a clear hint that David 8 has some how gained much more Human Emotions than a Synthetic was intended.’

I would say not programmed. A programmer wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that I would think.

dk, in other words, you think that BigDave is right.

Agreed.As I've stated previously,David is very human,but i also feel he believes he's superior to mankind as well.

Ati- yes. Not sure if it was BD but someone posted today on a different thread and it has been pointed out in other movies and such- basically we can't expect something perfect to emerge from an imperfect creator.

I think maybe Androids could be programed to Act and respond with Emotional Gestures...

To make them fit in more... like with wearing a Helmet... and how David said by not wearing it would defeat the Purpose..  Holloway says they are making you very close...  

David responds not to close (this is a David Emotion)

But i think Synthetics would be programed to smile, to laugh so as to fit in.

If we created Real Life Androids, i am sure it would be bland to Have Data from Star Trek TNG.

If you had a companion or servant Synthetic you would want some Facial Emotional Responses, so that it would be more pleasing....  having one that would smile at you, complement you and laugh at jokes...

I am sure when we can advance to the level to make Synthetics Real...

A Large Market would be companion's  for the Rich and Famous...

And i am sure a would be owner for this reason would want to see some Emotion and Complements/Flirting scenes and interaction from them...

Rather than a basically Mechanical Mannequin

So i think Synthetics are programed to show Emotional Signs on their faces... at times.

But i think the reason for David doing so as a deliberate jibe, is something of a more Human Trait than maybe those Synthetics was intended to have.

Ava turned out to be pretty manipulative.

Programmed.  As nin said above, he has an in-built sense of superiority evidenced in earlier scenes.

BigDave, I think the same, and since I know that you like images with that body part, it is just for you:   :)

and this one for the creature fans:   :D

BigDave- I Robot suggested things like computer glitches were signs of computers evolving beyond programming. 

nin- I intend to watch that movie tonight. It is interesting we have things like Real Dolls and AI for humans seeking a more or "perfect/customizable" human experience.

Real Dolls?

Oh is that some TV series based on AI Dolls?

Or a certain expensive companion for the Lonely Males out there lol

But being serious indeed that would be a big market should we advance to that level to create Synthetics like David 8

However.... i am sure a Vickers 8 Synthetic with PMT would be dangerous for her companion/owner

BigDave- they are high end and high priced sex dolls.

Think of it as a baby step to an independent synth companion.
