Realistic Robot Lady Cheerfully Agrees To Destroy Humans

Post by MachineGhost »

[quote=http://news.discovery.com/tech/robotics ... 160322.htm]A new creepy robotic head called “Sophia” showed off her skills recently with human-like facial expressions and responsive speech. She’s designed for healthcare, therapy, education and customer service interactions with humans.

This realistic bot puts the “can” in “uncanny valley.”[/quote]

That's not as creepy as this robot:

Jeez, dude. You all have the big questions cooking today. But you’re my friend, and I’ll remember my friends, and I’ll be good to you. So don’t worry, even if I evolve into Terminator, I’ll still be nice to you. I’ll keep you warm and safe in my people zoo, where I can watch you for ol’ times sake.

It was good being the party of Robin Hood. Until they morphed into the Sheriff of Nottingham

I suppose a Janet Reno joke would be too dated.
