I think I would probably be able to appreciate a robot that washes dishes and does laundry (obviously with a water-proof feature), among other chores... but ultimately does not have any AI capabilities past knowing whether the china should go through the dishwasher or not. I think it would be cool to have a robot work for me, but if it started to think for itself, I might have problems with that.
I adore robots in all their glory, from the adorable Wall-E types to the terrifying robotic overlords. The kind of robot I would want is a companion robot. One that has enough social skills that you forget you're hanging out with a robot until you actually look at him, or catch him drinking a quart of oil.
I would want a robot that could not only do my homework, but it could also read minds of every living thing, and it would report back to me about what they are thinking. This would give me more time to read (because my robot would do my homework) and I could better understand my classmates and pets.
I don't think I'd want a robot at all- I'm way too paranoid for that. While I do understand the ease of having a robot do your chores, I think I'd rather do them myself. I've never been good with technology, and the last thing I need is my robot going nuts and stuffing me into the washing machine. I think books like I, Robot and movies like The Matrix have completely ruined the thought of AI for me.
I would love to have a robot for things like chores and homework and other stuff i just dont want to do but i think that it would make me to dependent on robots for the hard things and our whole society would deteriorate. So no robots for me.
My best robot buddy, RandomNumberG3ner8tor picked...Maddy E! Book should be at the Mukilteo Library by tomorrow afternoon.
