>Home service robots have long been a story of futuristic fantasy. However, as lifestyle and demographic trends converge with rapid advances in robotics and artificial intelligence, fantasy is fast becoming a reality. One day your retirement financial plan might include not just your savings and investments, health plan, and Social Security but also a line item to finance a sleek cyber companion and caregiver programmed to assist you in your older age.
bold of you to assume we’re going to have a retirement
A robot in my cardboard home in the woods? How nice.
This reminds me of those 1950’s “home of the future” programs.
The article doesn’t even touch on the implication that nobody is going to have a job to be able to reach retirement, if these robots become not only capable of doing just about everything, but ultra cheap to produce.
Love the picture. Of all the things robots will eventually be doing, I’m the most skeptical about cooking actually good food.
I’ve seen how this ends. I fall madly in love with the robot and we receive medical aid in dying in a heartbreakingly beautiful spectacle at the end. No thank you.
I think the only thing the Terminator got wrong is that there would be a war between humans and robots that wiped us out. We’re just going to wipe ourselves through sheer poverty and an inability to afford children, and the robots will just be standing around like “lol, tards”.
