Art, Machines, and Existence: The Case of Zima Blue

The posthuman context interweaves profound reflections on both the new forms of artificial intelligence and the future trajectory of human development. The 14th episode from the 2019 Netflix series Love, Death & Robots, titled Zima Blue, presents a narrative that transcends the traditional binary opposition model, exploring broader possibilities in human-machine relations. This paper primarily employs theories related to existentialism and posthuman philosophy to deeply reflect on the manifestations of creativity, free will, and the philosophy of death within the artificial intelligence context as depicted in the story, while further delving into the philosophical relationship between humans and machines.
