This argument is unsatisfactory. The Determinism Argument raises a question of whether or not we would separate a computer-aided system from a human being if they have the desire to think and feel emotions? If "emotions" are defined only in terms of their effect on behavior or on how they function inside an organism, then emotions can be viewed as a mechanism that an intelligent agent uses to maximize the utility of its actions. In accordance, if robots are represented through artificial intelligence there are several questions that are raised about the nature of self-determination and their actions.
Determinism is a concept that all decisions and actions are pre-determined. Thus, what if most or all of these emotional traits could be found

In accordance to the film, during a conversation between the two characters Theodore tries to imply a joke, however Samantha responds “I don’t know what?” Ryle perceives that Samantha as a computer-aided system firstly reasons the rules of the joke and then attempts to apply to them, differing her from mankind. Their relationship turns intimate, with Theodore teaching Samantha what it means to feel human and Samantha giving him the strength to walk away from his failed marriage. However, what Samantha is incapable of doing is to suddenly take on a life of its own. Thus, going beyond all the established programmed rules and to do something
