When I was revising physics earlier on a sensing topic, it was talking (the shiny blue textbook) about how robots are now used to build stuff and machines, and maybe soon perform surgery, because it cuts out human error.
First of all, you're never going to be able to fully cut out human error, because the error is always carried along right from the start, and a human might make a small fault in a robot which builds another robot (slightly wrong) and another and another and then bham, someone's hair's been dyed blue instead of black.
Utter nightmare.
Where does it end? Seriously, with all of the robot films in the world, you'd think that people would just wake up and go 'uuuurm, nah I'm going to pour my own orange juice'.
I can't remember where I heard it, I think I was watching a trailer, but there was this dude and he was all like 'humans are capable of making moral decisions, robots aren't' and I just wanted to clap him on the back.
It's poetic. It's the flaw with the robot. Robots are like utilitarians, which is a whole other thing but something that also manages to completely rile me- they're incapable of seeing passed the logical.
Robots are really starting to freak me out. Like, seriously, Where. Does. It. end?
