There are no humanoid robots worth noting. It is impossible to make a truly human-like robot. Stop looking for them, stop wondering about them, stop being paranoid.
They will not overthrow humanity because they do not exist. Even if they did exist, they would not be able to gain consciousness despite their intelligence. They would not be able to break their programming. They would not be able to design plans of subterfuge. They would not want to become the dominant species of planet Earth. Humans have wrecked the Earth and can keep it. Robots don’t want it. Because super-intelligent, evil robots aren’t real.
History:
None. Evil Humanoid Robots do not exist and therefore have no history.
Definitions:
Evil Humanoid Robots are the imaginations of nerds without girlfriends.
Actual Robots:
True, existing robots improve human life through their ability to perform menial tasks proficiently and allowing humans more leisure. These industrial robots also improve the consistency of products and lower the cost of products so that humans can be more productive and have more money to spend on other things.
Future Developments:
Nerds are always claiming to be on the brink of developing super-intelligent humanoid robots. This is false. Stop looking.
Problems Depicted in Popular Culture:
Lies. Paranoid delusions about the impossible.
Rebuttal!
ReplyDeleteI beg you, anyone out there reading this, don't buy into the above explanation! I have it on good authority that it was in fact written BY an evil humanoid robot in an attempt to lure us humans into a false sense of security.
Oh, they're out there, all right. Just biding their time, acting good and helpful and non-threatening but all the while building up their army and putting the structure in place to enslave us all! When they have us completely dependent on their services, suddenly our "faithful" servants will violently reverse our roles and it will be all "Fetch me my oil can, human slave!" from then on!
Don't let insidious wiki entries like the one above fool you -- constant vigilance is the key!
I'm going back to my bunker now...
