I thought this was obvious but after searching around, not many people came to the conclusion after Caleb cut himself and drew blood. However, all you need to do is think about when Ava asked him his first memory. He starts on a memory of kindergarten, she says he's lying. He hesitantly tells of his true first memory, just a color and a sound. The color blue. The sound must have been a bell, then. The company is Blue Bell. Think about what would most likely happen when you turn on one of their screens. Computers give a color and a jingle. Blue Bell's would be blue with a bell.

Caleb a robot??? But he showed extreme emotion and desperation
after being locked in. He would've had to have been EXTREMELY advanced for a robot to display such emotion. And if he was THAT advanced, he would've been able to outsmart Ava. -

It wouldn't be about outsmarting Ava: think about creating an AI that is so indistinguishable from humanity, that it can be emotionally manipulated by another AI? Wether that makes it the "lesser" or "greater" AI is up for debate, but to me it would definitely be a more impressive creation.

Just think about when they are talking about the Turing test, Nathan says it doesn't work unless the participant doesn't know that they are working with a robot. What if the test was about Nathan's consciousness, and seeing if he is actually thinking without knowing he is a robot?
