Njengoba sinikezwe lesi sifinyezo sefilimu i-Short Circuit, singaphetha kanjani ngokuthi lokho okwenzeka kunombolo 5 kwakuyisimangaliso sokuphila esibonisa ukuba nengqondo, kunokuba kube ukwehluleka kwe-computer?
Context:I-Short Circuit yifilimu yamahlaya esayensi yaseMelika yango-1986 eqondiswe nguJohn Badham futhi yabhalwa ngu-S. S. Wilson noBrent Maddock. Indaba yefilimu igxile erobhothini lezempi elihlolwayo elishaywe umbani bese lithola ubuhlakani obufana nobomuntu, okuyiphoqa ukuthi ibaleke esikhungweni sayo ukuze ifunde kabanzi ngomhlaba. Le filimu idlala u-Ally Sheedy, uSteve Guttenberg, uFisher Stevens, u-Austin Pendleton noG. W. Bailey, noTim Blaney njengozwi lwerobhothi elibizwa ngokuthi "Inombolo 5". Isiqephu, i-Short Circuit 2, sakhishwa ngo-1988, iqondiswe nguKenneth Johnson.  Ochwepheshe be-robotics be-NOVA Laboratory uNewton Crosby noBen Jabituya baye bakha izinhlobo eziningana zamarobhothi abizwa ngokuthi i-SAINT (Strategic Artificially Intelligent Nuclear Transport) ezisetshenziswa amasosha ase-U.S. emisebenzini yeMpi Yomshoshaphansi, nakuba bengathanda ukufuna izinhlelo zokusebenza ezinokuthula zamarobhothi. Ngemva kombukiso oqondile owenzelwe amasosha, elinye lamaqembu, i-SAINT Number 5, lishaywa umbani odlula kunethiwekhi kagesi yaselabhorethri. Lokhu kushintsha uhlelo lwayo futhi kuyenze ikwazi ukuzizwa, okuholela ekubeni ibaleke esikhungweni se-NOVA.  Irobhothi litholakala e-Astoria, e-Oregon, futhi litholakala nguStephanie Speck, umnakekeli wezilwane, omthatha njengomfokazi. Uthatha irobhothi aliyise ekhaya lakhe, lapho alinike khona "izinto" ngendlela yokubona nokukhuluma, avumele irobhothi ukuba lithuthukise amakhono alo olimi. UStephanie uyaqhubeka esiza irobhothi elinomdlandla elinguNombolo 5 ukuba lifunde ngomhlaba. Ekugcineni uthola ukuthi iNombolo 5 yakhiwe yi-NOVA, futhi uxhumana nabo mayelana ne-robot elahlekile. Isikhulu esiphezulu seNova, uDkt. Howard Marner, uyala uCrosby noBen ukuba bamthole, ukuze bakwazi ukumqaqa futhi bamakhe kabusha. Ngenkathi elinde ukufika kwe-NOVA, uNombolo 5 uthola ulwazi ngokufa lapho ngephutha egwaza isikhonyane futhi ephetha ngokuthi uma i-NOVA imdiliza, uzokufa, bese ebaleka elolini lokudla likaStephanie. Nokho, i-NOVA isebenzisa umshini wokulandelela kuNombolo 5 ukuze imfake ekhoneni futhi ikhubaza irobhothi ukuze ibuyele esikhungweni. Phakathi nokuthuthwa, uNombolo 5 uyazivuselela futhi asuse umshini wokulandelela, abuyele emuva kuStephanie.  Ngenxa yalezi zenzo ezingajwayelekile, uCrosby uzama ukukholisa uHoward ukuthi kukhona okushintshile ngohlelo lweNombolo 5 nokuthi kufanele baqaphele ukuthi bangalonakalisi emizamweni yabo yokutakula ukuze akwazi ukubahlola kamuva. Esikhundleni salokho uHoward uthumela umphathi wabo wezokuphepha uKaputeni Skroeder kanye nezinye izinhlobo ezintathu zeSAINT ukuthi zibambe uNombolo 5 ngenkani, zingakunaki ukukhathazeka kukaCrosby. UNombolo 5 uhamba phambili kwamanye amarobhothi futhi uhlele kabusha ubuntu bawo ukuze enze njengeThe Three Stooges, amvumele ukuba abaleke. Inombolo 5 "ithumba" uCrosby, imyisa kuStephanie, futhi ikholisa uCrosby ngokuqonda kwakhe. Bathola ukuthi uSkroeder ubize i-United States Army ukuba ithumbe uNombolo 5, futhi ngemiyalo yakhe, bamba uCrosby noStephanie ukuze akwazi ukuvula umlilo. Ukuze avikele abangane bakhe, uNombolo 5 uhola ibutho lempi kude futhi kubonakala sengathi ubhujiswa yisikhali sezindiza-mkhathi. UStephanie uphelelwe yithemba njengoba amadoda kaSkroeder ethatha izinsalela zikaNombolo 5 njengezindondo, okwenza uCrosby ashiye i-NOVA futhi ahambe noStephanie ngeveni ye-NOVA. UHoward ukhungathekile ngokulahlekelwa ucwaningo lwakhe futhi uxosha uSkroeder ngokungalaleli.  UCrosby noStephanie bayamangala ukuthola ukuthi uNombolo 5 ucashe ngaphansi kweveni, esehlanganise isicupho sakhe ngezingxenye ezisele ukuze adukise amasosha. UCrosby usikisela ukuthatha iNombolo 5 bayise epulazini elicezile eMontana, lapho kuyoba khona "nokuningi" kwamarobhothi, futhi uStephanie uyavuma ukuhamba nabo. Njengoba behamba ngemoto, uNombolo 5 uthi igama lakhe manje kufanele libe ngu "Johnny 5" ngokusekelwe engomeni ka-El DeBarge ethi "Who's Johnny" eyayidlala emsakazweni weveni.
I-Short Circuit yifilimu yango-1986 ekhuluma nge-robot yezempi eba nomqondo ngokuhlaselwa umbani, ibaleke, ifunde, ivumelane, futhi ihlangabezane nezinselelo eziningi ze-robot yangaphambilini ezama ukufakazela ukuthi inengqondo kubadali bayo futhi izenzele impilo. Isimangaliso sokuphila esiwubuhlakani sinezimpawu ezithile ezizihlukanisayo kumakhompyutha nakwezobuchwepheshe, futhi le filimu izama ukubonisa lokhu ngochungechunge lwezenzo. Okokuqala nokubaluleke kakhulu, ubuchwepheshe besikhathi sasingenalo ikhono le-Artificial General Intelligence, okuqinisekiswa ukudideka kwabahleli bezinhlelo ngenombolo 5 engahambisani nohlelo lwayo. Njengoba kunikezwe inani lokungeniswa okumelwe ukuba inombolo 5 yakhipha, yacubungula, yagcina, futhi yahlaziya, kwakungekho izinsiza zokulinganisa ezanele zesikhathi sesikhathi ukusekela lolu hlobo lokusakaza bukhoma, ukucubungula kanye nokuhlaziya okusheshayo. UJohnny 5 wayephila ngoba wakwazi ukufunda ukuthi ukufa kuyini, wakwesaba, futhi walwela ikhono lakhe lokusinda. UJohnny 5 wafunda nendlela yokukhohlisa abaphikisi bakhe ngaphandle kokusebenzisa amandla ngokweqile, ngesikhathi esifanayo esebenzisa amahlaya ukuze ahlubule izitha zakhe. Ekugcineni, wakwazi ukukhohlisa ababezomshaya ukuze bakholelwe ukuthi ufile, okwamvumela ukuba abalekele ekuphileni nabangane bakhe enza lokho akuthandayo, ukufunda okufakiwe. Yibuphi ubufakazi obungcono kunalobu, besimangaliso sokuphila, bokuthi othile alwele ukuphila, futhi aphile.
