Will it ever come to the point that we will be ruled by androids and robots in the near future?

Question

First question: Has robotics advanced far enought to create a artificial inteligence superior to the human race and will it ever happen that we will be ruled by androids and machines ? Will they ever develop a fully functional artificial brain ?
Second question: Will the human race in the far future be incorporated and eventually become half-human half machine at the rate at which bionics and artificial parts are added to our bodies ?
Third question: Will there ever be a fully functional, fully aware human like android/robot like Sonny on I Robot ?
Fourth question: Why do people have sexual fantasies about robots and machines ? Its even a known fetish, known as ASFR or Technosexuality. Are there any such sites on the internet ?

Answer 1

No to all 3

Answer 2

Machines like I, Robot's "Sonny" or Arthur C. Clarke's supercomputer HAL 9000, fully capable of independent action and/or behavior is highly doubtful to come within our lifetime or that of our great-grandchildren. Unlikely....but NOT impossible.

Bear in mind: people in Edison's day never foresaw personal computers in homes, either: machines so powerful today, just one PC can easily handle the computer workload of all those computers NASA had running the Apollo moon missions.

I'd estimate it'd take 160 years from now to even come close to such a HAL9000 like machine.

Robotic research and development in the biomechanical fields ARE making impressive progresses in the creation of more fluid natural moving "bionic" limbs, but will still have noticeable movement and appearance limitations.

Restorative hearing, to a bearable degree, will arrive in about 40 years--nothing close to surpassing natural hearing abilities.

Restorative sight: whiz-bang as it sounds.....may not be fully functional as 20/20 vision--but the next best thing is around the corner, within the next 17 years.

Improvements on the Jarvik artificial heart are making great progress. Work is well underway for functional replacement modules of human kidneys, liver AND pancreas....and conquering paralysis is a challenge being taken on too.

Fully functional human looking robotic androids? Not within the next 252 years--and even then, they will amazingly "mimic" human interactions, but carry NONE of their own will.

Research and development of such machines is well underway; has been for about 25 years.

Adequate functioning bi-peidal human-like robots, capable of a few basic home cleaning assistance actions ARE here....with limitations (the 'bugs' are being worked out). Expect consumer wide implementation of these machines in about 30 years; 27 MORE years to fully work all the bugs out.

Technosexuality??? Do a web search for further insights of this.

Answer 3

That is the beauty of our developed AI. Just look around you and everything that you believe you see, is in someway connect to the major brain controlling the landmass you are on.
Concepts of free will, etc. allow creativity to grow along the lines the brains have decided.

Answer 4

i would think no robot can replce a human body and soul, because we have emotions while robots do not have and secondly, they are only made by men just like us, we are made by god, so we are more superior in thinking than them we have more skills and logical tinking and imagination to produce even the unimaginable tings, but i think in the near future robots might just replace man from tough working loads and dangerous activites or complex ones, security, etc.. and thats their main function... all in all it all depends on whether man would use this machines on good or bad.. than.....xz

Answer 5

yes i believe so, last year in CHICAGO. tru story
there's a place or company in CHICAGO that makes ROBOTS. like HUMANS. LOOKS AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN THING LOOK ALIKE, ok sorry all the caps

an individual walk into the lab of this company, and starts counting the robots, one is missing, nobody nkew where this human like thing whent. this 'thing " whent down the alavator, to the third floor, some how he got stuck in between floors,
so they found this thing with his head down, how this this thing found himself on the alavator, with so many people. nobody knows.

to answer your questions, yes, in the year 2050 they are coming.

Answer 6

Basically, (this will answer all of your questions just about) robots are incapbable of accesing the abstract realm of comprehensive thought. So no, you won't be bowing to Mr. Robot.

Answer 7

You have been watching terminator movies too much I think. After all, man makes machine, so man can kill machine.
