Funny how they call it “android” (male) when a term exists for a female-looking one (”gynoid”).

Besides, unless it has some kind of autonomy due to artificial intelligence (oxymoron?), isn’t it an automaton?

Agreed. It would take a while to achieve it. Even at a moderate level. It is just that progress has been made to the level that so-called robots can take over tasks performed by humans. The scope of automation has increased significantly in recent years.

gynoid

Hey, I just discovered a new insult.

"That Obama fellow is such a gynoid."
