Outline for: Reflection Paper
Task: The Detour and Moral Luck.
The body of the paper covers three major questions in detail in essay format:


Whether AI Roberts is a victim of moral luck



Legitimacy of the arguments and whether moral luck exists



The threat of theorizing moral luck.

These responses are based on the film 'Detour' by Edgar Ulmer.
For instance, Ulmer’s movie reveals that the movie’s director believes in intangible
forces such as externally induced fate, which surrounds the free will with others. Notably, the
movie's hero, AI Roberts, gets every opportunity to insist that a malevolent destiny is responsible
for all his challenges and troubles in life. Several scenes later, fate intervenes again by
introducing Vera to AI, the only individual who is in a position to be aware that Robert must
have stolen the car owned by Haskell's and disposed of the authentic owner. He says, ‘just my
luck picking her up on the road,’ and continues to complain that this unjustified calamity is
quintessential of 'life' which charms in giving fate the chance to 'stick out a foot to trip you.'
From even these scenarios, it is precise that AI is a victim of moral luck.
Further details discussed in the paper.
