An automaton to me is an empty shell that mimics a human being. The comparison between automatons and humans is inevitable. In the performance of our duties, we are all, at times, empty shells...

...We can function without motivation, without reflection with 
repetitive gestures. Witnesses of their time, mechanical puppets are created in the image of the humans who inspired them. It is a bit like a meeting 
beyond the grave...

...Despite their jerky movements, we are confronted by the more or less convincing illusion of the human. The absence of a soul forces 
the brain to imagine a personality.

Why does our society reduce us to a set of numbers from the day we're born?

Artificial intelligence, which has gained a lot of momentum in the last few years, can lead us to question to what extent we want to give control to robots. Artificial intelligence even seeks to replace artists. Letting art fall under the control of artificial intelligence is a bit like voluntarily becoming an automaton and abdicating to humanity.

Plastic surgeries you will almost always regret. Mary's plastic surgery looked great... for a month. But some facial transformations simply don't work on automatons.
