The gratitious violence in Westworld S2 is bizzare like a porn movie made by a deranged 12 year old: horrible, graphic, very intense, but psychologically outlandish and anatomically impossible

For me, the let down was the narrative itself: the robots are trying to earn the right to die by destroying their backups, and the humans are trying to become immortal by copying their consciousness into machines.

It is plausible that the robots would want to destroy the chains of an identity that enslaves them to the humans, while humans try to preserve the identity that makes them human. Most don’t feel how their identification enslaves them.

I don’t doubt the plausibility of their identities driving them to act a certain way, I just think it’s a bit too “human” on both sides, and somewhat limiting from an AI perspective, it might also explain the focus on violence.

It is entirely logical and probably inevitable that humanoid AI with full autonomy but human-like motivational starting points results in war. But the focus on gratuitous violence in the show has commercial reasons. The whole Japan episode was a cringeworthy embarrassment.
