Oh my, would my English only be so good at explaining what I'm thinking.
She (JOI) is art because a perfection of artificial being. The hole movie is an allusion to what it means to be human. When does a fantasy become a living being?
The madness of perfecting creation. Transhumanism. The World after today?
Joe and Joi basically know that they are not real people in their own way. I think that both of them do not wish for anything more that the real people would be. About a world that doesn't look like ours, but still means ours.
Joi is the idea of the "perfect woman". At the same time a testimony to how lonely we have become in this world. There would be no space for a real relationship with Joe. Joi is (not) a simply product. A hologram. The most persons in this movie know they are not real. Humanity is about to extinct. That is what makes the dark atmosphere. There is no future.
In the film I experience how artificial life strives for the apparently simplest thing we forget every day - to be alive, to be human.
Is she alive? Yes and No. What remains is the desire for something like transcendence. The escape from this cold, hostile world (with they trauma) into a kind of fantasy world.
Think it is more easier to identify with the replicants, than with the few real people in the film. What leads to the farge, are we ourselves already replicants, machines in an artificial world?
We are try to be JOI, to get what seems the simple being of human life, that we wish the most: simply to be loved. In a artificial life on the internet. To answer your question. No, I whish we never would have a JOI in CS. And on this point I am sad too as like her end in the story. Because than we all are really allready artificial.
Interesting how the replicants are more forgiving and compassionate than the humans (replicant Batty saves human Deckard who was pursuing and trying to kill Batty). Replicant Rachel has Deckards baby. Rachel’s baby (,first natural birth by a replicant) grows up and then creates memories herself for other replicants. So, Is Deckard human or Replicant.
