yup, the only reason people say aliens is because they don't think it through. The ship does scream starwars styling, and the flight through the trench seems very starwars deathstar like. thats probably it.
how likely is it that they would be aliens? they have the shape of a sharp nose, eye sockets and mouth when seen in profile. They are bipedal..parralel evolution of aliens into forms so close to human is beyond unlikely, even less likely they would find us.
they network, project images on their faces= robots
ai=movie about robots
you see them skimming the surface,not flying down from space
they seem to have built structures in the trenches or whatever.
even joe what do you know can see that robots will outlast the humans....and he was a generation older then david.
imagine the capabilities of mature adult robots based on davids technology, then base their evolution on something like moores law over 2000years. their evolution would definetly not be slow as biological evolution.
they only want david to be happy...something you would want for your ancestors, not so strongly for aliens
they refer to david as one of the last robots to live with humans.
their bodies are unlikely to be biological, just look at them, you need super lightweight super strong materials to be practical in that shape.
they know how to speak english
totally compatible with david...
one of the robots explains to david about their search for the human spirit/meaning of life etc. Aliens would not be searching for the meaning of life through primitive aliens

He also says someting about humans looked to god.. and they to humans.. ack my memory is wack.. its late
