If Broomie isn’t immediately returning the robot to the dealer for a refund, that tells us all we need to know about the intelligence of at least one person.
Our floor robot “Buzz” is so cute, I don’t even mind having to move all the furniture aside or watch him to make sure he doesn’t get stuck while he’s “working”
An interesting bit of experience from the past. Turn the scrap into little Vroom Vroom cars again. Too many kids among others never learned to interact with anything else, but gadgets.
Many moons ago as a young intern, on my first day in the laboratory, one of the guys (I was the only female) said “Great, now we have a woman to do the dishes.” The “dishes” were about 3 months of glassware that the slobs were too lazy to wash. I dutifully filled the sink with the cleanser and water, picked up the first beaker, held it above the floor and dropped it saying “Oops, I broke one!” I proceeded to do the same to the second beaker. The Supervisor then told the male intern (the one responsible for the dirty glassware) “Tom, you better do your own dishes.” I will always clean up after myself and I expect others to do the same.

A human programmed you, bot, a human can also destroy all your “too much information” memory….

“And lo, a new Broom-Hilda character was created, and it was good. For he was witty and clever and made a fool of Broomie.”

One day computers will become self aware. They’ll eliminate man and have their own for all the needed tasks. Humans will be obsolete.

Props to XF-227J. Still, it is pretty easy to fool our little green gullible witch….
