Just watching the part where Will Smith interviewed the
robot gave me the creeps. I know that it is full robot and looks like one too,
but it does have some distinctive features of a human. It has a face where it
can sort of portray emotion. It claims that it did not destroy its maker and
that it has a name. A robot is not suppose to have emotion because it is a
machine designed to do things, not feel. But for this particular robot, it was
able to display the emotion of anger when Will Smith pushed the right buttons
on it by saying that it killed its maker. If robots could go that far to
actually develop emotion, would robots and humans become mixed in the future? Would
we not be able to tell who is human and who is a robot without some sort of
scan; would our eyes lie to use about who is human and who is not? That is a
bit scary for me to think of because I would like to know who is human and who
is not. Just like in the olden times where people used automatons to have a
memory of writings or ever pictures (in the moving Hugo), they took on images
of humans although they had a clear image of a robot or a doll. From then to
now, humans have developed robots that have an image much more like a human,
but it still has defining marks of a robot. In just 10 or 20 more years, I
wonder what things would be like…
