幻想恋人与情感转移——解析《机器妻》中的人机之恋

Imaginary Lovers and Emotional Transference:Analyzing Human-Machine Intimacy in The Machine Wife

在人工智能和机器人技术迅猛发展的当下,探讨人与机器人之间的亲密关系不仅是技术研究的范畴,也涉及社会文化的思考层面。1907年,新世界小说社出版的小说《机器妻》便展现了人机情感关系的复杂性。该作品描述的人机亲密关系,是区别于“皮格马利翁情结”范式下的人机之恋,并且这种人机亲密关系的过程可以解析为人类向扮演“镜子”角色的机器人进行“情感投入”,通过机器人的镜像反射从而获得回应,最终实现两情相悦的情感转移。

In the era of rapid development of artificial intelligence and robotics,exploring intimate relationships between humans and robots is not only within the realm of technical research but also involves social and cultural reflections.The 1907 novel The Machine Wife,released by the New World Fiction Publishing Company,explores the complexity of human-robot emotional connections.The intimate human-machine relationship depicted in the work differs from the paradigm of human-machine love under the“Pygmalion complex”.Furthermore,the process of this intimate human-machine relationship can be analyzed as humans making“emotional investments”in robots that act as“mirrors”,obtaining responses through the reflection of the robot's image,and ultimately achieving mutual love through“emotional transference”.
