Are Robots are Coming of Age?
New robot shows off human-like qualities says the headline. The media think its the greatest thing since sliced bread. My dearest is excited too: finally, she will no longer have to remind me of my chores, that the (yet to be acquired super-duper) robot with its well-programmed memory and a mind of its own will perform without being askedand even without any snarky comments on the side.
And here comes the latest news: Artificial intelligence, human brain to merge in the 2030s, says futurist Kurzweil. Im not sure how thats supposed to work but Ill give it the benefit of doubt. Presumably, its not just the physical work I can then palm off to the robots, but the thinking as well! What a relief, no work, no complaints and nothing but bliss; what could possibly go wrong?
Timely article with Rubio running.
lol. I thought it was about Rubio.
The robot does not possess “human-like qualities.” A computer program simulates human qualities, leading some ignorant morons to attribute intelligence to the machine.
The intelligence is in the minds of the programmers/developers who created the software that runs the robot.
