THIS MAY ANSWER SOME OF THE COMMENTS:

Apocalypse (By Marco Denevi,/ Argentinian writer ) 1979

""Ït was during the last years of the 32nd Century when the human race fell into extinction. The manner in which this occurred is described therein: the machines had reached such a high caliber of perfection that mankind was not in need of eating, sleeping, talking, reading, thinking, or of doing anything. It was sufficient enough for them to press a button and the machines would do everything for them. Gradually, everything began to disappear: the Bibles, the works of Leonardo da Vinci,
tables, chairs, roses, the recordings of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, the antique stores, the wine of Bordeaux, the swallows and orioles, the tapestries of Flanders, all of the compositions of Verdi, the Azaleas, chess, telescopes, the Palace of Versailles, the Gothic cathedrals, football stadiums, the Pieta of Michelangelo, the maps containing the ruins of Trajan’s Imperial Forum, automobiles, rice, the Redwoods, even the Parthenon. Only the machines remained. Afterwards, mankind began to take notice that they were also progressively disappearing while the machines were increasing in numbers. It only took a matter of time for the machines to duplicate themselves. The machines eventually occupied every possible place. One could not pass or move without tripping over them. In the end, mankind was eliminated since the last one forgot to disconnect the machines. We then continued to go on functioning."""

Dan Brown latest book has us all becoming semi robots by 2050. We have artlficial limbs, sight,heart pumps and others types,tissue and organ transplants soon to be mechanical or artificial . Yea for Sophia !!!

I would need to know more. I watched the tonight Shows episode and think that all her responses were programmed. We may solve the race prejudices, by creating human looking robots.Watson is being used in large buildings now. It controls and monitors many of the function. We all know how well Watson did on Jeopardy. They even have sex robots now. My fear is if we create something with rational and logical thought it might find us lacking and decide we should be exterminated.

Skynet

Loren?

I think there are more advanced Ai than Sophia. but putting a face to her is good for marketing I don't think she performs more than Siri or Alexa. I might be wrong . just my .02

She was an awesome Golden Girl

I thought you meant Sophia Loren. I adore her. I don't like robots.

I think it's interesting. However, a part of me wishes all that time, energy, focus and (money?) were spent more on researching, finding cures and/or better treatment options for illnesses.

That's cool. Keep on making it smarter.

I think she is little more than a sophisticated toy, she is not an AI at all just a chatbot wrapped in a fancy package with nothing more than scripted responses.

okay....watched and read....that is going to be interesting...and I think it was always inevitable.

I've been doing my best to only peripherally follow AI...so odd that I am somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to tech, since I bought my first computer in 1982 Apple IIE....I don't even think it had been released mainstream yet...but now, I find myself a passive luddite by modern standards...I just got my first smart phone last month and haven't activated it yet..I have a cell phone because I have to have one....hate it....but now I am going to go check out Sophia. Thanks for bringing it up.
