This is just creepy. Impressive…but creepy. Pretty soon we’ll have robots walking amongst us and we won’t even know it. We really should start thinking about setting up some sort of Robot Ethical Committee like in iRobot. It would be wise to have a few rules in place, like maybe that they have to welcome themselves to humans as a robot, or something along those lines.
I remember when these were the only robots that I had to worry about:
Is having sex with an ultra-realistic robot hooker cheating?
For my own part, yes and no. Do I look at that old robot on 'Lost In Space' waving its tentacular arms around and get all hot and bothered? No. Not hardly. Now when I look at the image of a polished chrome and flesh woman as painted by Hajime' Sorayama, or Jeri Ryan playing the infamous borg, Seven-of-Nine on Star Trek Voyager? You better believe it! Just don't tell my wife!
