"True Love" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov.
It was first published in the February 1977
True Love is about a computer scientist that "understands more about computers than anyone in the world" creates an experimental computer he calls Joe. As a result Milton decides he will use Joe to find his perfect woman and true love.
Milton has Joe eliminate matches by specific criteria like IQ and height; out of the entire world 235 are still available.
Milton has Joe illegally transfer the women to work with him one at a time, he decides none of them are his ideal match, or true love; Joe says its because Milton is not their ideal match
Joe finds Milton's perfect match; Joe has Milton taken to jail for an illegal action he did ten years ago'
Joe plans on telling the perfect match he loves her; "what do looks matter when our personalities will resonate?"
Joe has been given special abilities like transfering people by Milton; This allows Joe to break rules that are programmed into himself
Milton thinks true love is abstract, maybe Isaac Asimov felt the same way.
Milton's first attempts at finding the ideal girl fail because they were not based on personality
CHARACTERS :
There are two main characters Milton- Protogonist
And Joe -Antogonist
SUBJECT :
there’s Charity the perfect match for both Milton and Joe, because they eventually turn into same person, more accurately Joe turns into Milton
But that wasn’t enough isn’t it. He became Milton. I found it sad because he is not just a computer program he can actually think and question but he is not human.
I think even if Milton never looked for a partner Joe would still go crazy at some point, because he can question.
Asimov always afraid the capacity of AI so he wrote this and I ROBOT and many more. He even said ‘’Mankind will eventually suffer from disease of boredom’’
And honestly just like Asimov I am afraid too. We try to make AI close to human brain as possible, that can question, learn. And we planned to use them as a tool for our own interest. It is not wrong because they can enslave us no ! It is wrong because they can and will understand that they are the slaves and they have no purpose in this life besides serving. Just like Calliban The Frankenstein’s Monster said in Penny Dreadfull.’’ Oh my creator, why did you not make me of steel and stone? Why did you allow me to feel. I would rather be the corpse I was than the man I am. ‘’
