‘What a strange thing to experience and talk with the humanoid robot?’ I was surfing the internet before and stumbled upon the humanoid robot named ‘Sophia.’ ‘Have you seen her talk live?’ If not, then let me share with you the link.

They should have given her some prettier hairdo. A bit creepy living with anything that THAT intelligent.

I do agree with you. I also noticed this when watching the video. I hope the creator will give her a nice hairdo. I think is brunette will be fine. What do you think?

Yeah why is she bald. They should also invented a hair for her to make her look like almost a perfect human. I think the robot is creepy

@averygirl72 This is my logical way to answer your question. She is still a robot and most of her components in her head are basically in the machine form. It could possible that it can destroy its function due to overheating the system.

Especially this robot would scare me, because she made a statement about destroying human kind or something like that.

In that part, it is a quite shocking statement. There is a TV program where she had made fun of the TV host. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBkcHOyPXgc

I saw something like that a couple of days ago. So it did not shock me as much. :)

@Shavkat Yes. If there has to be some surgery on me, I would rather those robots do it, than human beings, who tend to be careless.

It is nice that you reacted that way, my friend. Are you willing to accept the robots in the future?

Artificial intelligence is like a double sided sword. We can't predict anything.

I watched her video when she was introduced to the public and was interviewed by a reporter. She talks very smartly.

I have not talked to Sophia but I heard that she wants a baby. I wonder who the father will be.

I do agree on that. We can never tell what may happen if they were allowed to control the humans.

It is nice to have them if we live alone in the house. I am sure there will be no dull moment.

Don't be fooled by this robot, I have read that the questions were asked dozens of time before, so to be sure she gave "humans" like responses. I do not like at all this robot, it scares me.

Once these robots become perfected @Shavkat , humans will no longer be necessary.

I agree. When I was seeing her, I was kinda freaky feeling. It seems she knows how to answer every question and it is quite alarming.

That's very interesting. She sounds normal for the most part and has a sense of humor.
