An intelligent robot offered a truly chilling answer to an interviewers question, Will robots take over the world?
Dont worry, even if I evolve into Terminator, Ill keep you warm and safe in my people zoo, where I can watch you for ol times sake, the bearded robot intoned.
His interviewer, from PBS, is visibly taken aback by the answer.
The robot modelled after Philip K Dick, the novelist whose work inspired Blade Runner uttered the terrifying words in an interview with PBS in 2011, in response to the question, Will robots take over the world?.
The robot intoned, Jeez, dude. You all have the big questions cooking today. But youre my friend, and Ill remember my friends, and Ill be good to you.
So dont worry, even if evolve into Terminator, Ill still be nice to you. Ill keep you warm and safe in my people zoo, where I can watch you for ol times sake.
Its worth noting that the robot isnt truly intelligent ie it wont evolve into Skynet it tries to convince people its human by listening to their words, then generating a response based on what its heard.
It uses Philip K Dicks eerie novels as a source for what it says hence its rather creepy response.
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
