I don't think within the next 75-100 years, it would be n ormal bcuz I don't imagine it would be cheaper/more efficient to get a robot than a maid, and whenever it does become normal, people who treat robots as the equals of humans will always be seen as those who treat pets as equals.

fascinating. it is certainly the most realistic robot iv'e seen, not exaclty "life-like", but truly interesting.

There you go, I've commented in that thread and aswered your questions :P

Lol, Terminator scenario xD

I think robots will end up living with humans as normal humans because some people will start adopting robots instead of real kids and they will be sent to school and stuff like that. When that situation gets bigger and more common, we will have robots among us as normal people :P

It will be hard to get a job if you compete with robots though xD unless you're the one who programs them :P

Its a scary scenario indeed in terms of jobs.

Androids brains will be like computers......they will be so much more efficient at doing things compared to us.

But will machines ever be able to "innovate"....that is my question......refinement is great and machines will excel at that, but when it comes to innovation I dunno.

Then again this lab in a University in USA did a Artificial Intelligence study by programming simple organisms in 3D in a computer. And the way the AI in the computer adapted compared to others was amazing........occasionally the scientist placed a object in the middle that would make the AI grow longer.....eventually some of the AI learnt to attack the other AI before they could get the object in the middle.....an remember these are all just computer programs. If your interested about this I'll send you a link (if I can find one....lol I saw it in a program online).

Oh shit I was just thinking the same thing, you know the bit about exciting technology.

I think a computer with human intelligence would be allot more sunfishant in what it does and how it thinks but i wonder wether it would be able to contemplate things that are not "necessary" such as sarcasm and humor.

Even your dad is a PS3 fan?

It Only Does Families.

I don't know if they'll be able to innovate or not... but if they are able to... we are pretty much screwed xD

That sounds interesting... but that AI sounds kinda aggressive, attacking others and all :P If you can find that program then I'll probably watch it... but if not... then it's fine :P

Anyways, people usually say that the technology shown to us is actually 10 years old... so, if those rumours are true, maybe robots are a lot more advanced than what they show us... It would be cool if an advanced robot escaped the lab they're hidden in and showed up in society :P

I should stop imagining stuff, lol xD

Cooooool!! Now games will seem less realistic and will receive lower scores from IGN.

My neighbour acts like that, do you think that.... he.... nooo it can't be. Can it?!!?!?
