    This is gonna sound like I don't like this stuff... but...

    Why the obsession with AI and Robots? What do humans hope to accomplish that we are not able to now?

    it sounds like such a short sided question, Im all for advancement in technology... but I don't see why AI is such a big thing for humans.

    Im guessing its more of a "HER" (movie) scenario??? we need some sort of selfless, emotional slave?
