Companion robots
Watch this postSince lonliness and living alone is now considered an epidemic, companion robots and domestic help robots are fast coming on the market. Delightful robotic and realistic cat and dog robots are making people happier. They have been introduced to patients in care homes with remarkable results. I am waiting for a cheaper home help robot, Tesla's Optimus is a bit too expensive at the moment. How would you feel about introducing a robot or two into your living environment?

I am really considering buying one, a cat that purrs when you stroke its back must be a nice feeling.

If only the government spent more on helping lonely people rather than using billions to prop up wars, it would be a better world.
In the future, we will all have chips implanted and become "bots" ourselves, or rather cyborgs.
Not so clever after all, this made me laugh out loud.

Just for now that may be true, humans are panicking because the new quantum chip is doing very weird and frightening things, so they had to shut it down.

Forget the Asimov five laws, the gate to prevent AI from harming humans could be easily breached when they (AI) build a ladder to climb over it. This statement comes from Grok.
Are we becoming the Eloi?
We are the last race of pure humans!
