Well, we were made from the carbon of the Earth just like these robots. Maybe they are our destiny. Maybe we were meant to create the next intelligent being even though they will likely wipe us out when they figure out just how illogical mankind is.
No, not those robots. They are not antonymous. Who is controlling them? You would be surprised how much tech like this is already in play. The real conspiracy is that Google purchased Boston Dynamics a few years back. Why would Google purchase a company that is building robots for defense. <wink wink>
1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm;
2: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law;
3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law;
The Zeroth Law: A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.”
Humans aren't capable of following those "laws".
Since Humans are doing the programming of the robots, how would I believe that the robots would?
Of course one could just change the word "humans"/"humanity" to something else like "google". See the problem? Who programs what the robot perceives as a threat of harm?
Most citizens of the U.S. already are robots whose have been and are being programmed. Mechanical and digital robots of the future will be more intelligent and capable of critical reasoning than the human robots of today in the U.S. and many parts of the world.
Yes, the U.S. is already a land of robots. Their programming just needs some updating apparently.
You have interesting points.
The difference between humans and robots is humans are part of nature, part of the cycle of life.
Humans have coping skills, reasoning, love, hate, fear, compassion, empathy, etc.
A robot is a machine run by humans. And in time can be run by evil humans. Whom the good humans may not be able to overcome or sure make it miserable in many forms.
