Weeks ago, Warren Ellis posted a much blog reacted(53 as of this posting) Three Laws of Robotics. The special thing about these laws are they came from his mind…so…you know, be sitting down when you read them. I almost cracked a rib from laughing.
A few days ago the Colbert Report interviewed David Levy who wrote an entire book on the subject called Love + Sex with Robots. Levy did this without a scent of parody or snarkiness or satire. In fact, he proclaimed sex with robots will occur within 5 years. Love will take another half century.
The one thing Levy didn’t touch on is that no one will expect them to be as smart as they are sexy.
A dangerous mistake to make.
