yes now when a robot gets angry it will commit murder and when sad it will commit suicide

[Adam Nasralla]

"Are humans so vastly different" I promise you they are! Robots only appear to display intelligence because of the way intelligent humans have programmed them. Did you know the first "computer" invented by Alan Turing back in 1930's is basically as "intelligent" as computers and robots are today, except today they are millions of times faster and programmed much better. No need to worry about robots taking over the world just yet I assure you. Robots are ridiculously cool though!!

The absolute worse thing for humanity is to give emotions to robots. Fucking idiots. Our curiosity is reaching a danger zone in this field, it will be our greatest downfall

[CaptainNemarco]

robots will eventually be programmed to learn on their own. they will already be directly connected to the internet in most cases. their potential for knowledge will be infinite once information storage becomes more efficient. then they will begin to build INFINITELY SMARTER robots than any human could ever imagine.

1:53 "And fits in very naturally with humans"

So when the robot does it, it's considered "human", but when I follow random people around I'm a "stalker"?

but we have programmed robots with the abillity to not only gather information on it own but we have also made robots that have the ability to make inferences and new applications of old information that is the deffinition of A.I.
