When humans have a super advanced droid/robot and then shocked that it turned on them. I remember the first time I watched 2001 and HAL read the lips of the human’s,I did not trust my Atari 2600 as stupid as that might sound.
Things you've always wondered about in sci-fi movies
- Thread starter p51
- Start date
And yet people still buy things like Alexa. I'm waiting for the point when you have some type of robot that is connected to a device like Alexa. Maybe it's for house chores. It overhears you talking about how much you hate your boss and then it goes all Cousin Eddie and kidnaps him.

A cellphone is basically a listening/watching device,it hears everything you say and sees whatever your camera is looking at.From my understanding that is how AI is getting so advanced.

Magic did not exist before Latin.
But it still makes more sense than calling it a "boot", which has similar origins.
Microtron, Microbrain, Microwallet... lol

How about deploying the robot to clean the house or wash the dishes when someone mentions it?
"Oh I have to fold the laundry..." Ta-da!

We ( even before the advancements made with Ai ) are screwed !
We play with ‘Fire’ ( another one of our inventions - maybe ), thinking we’re in ‘control’ and yet history has repeatedly shown that we ( humans - for all our ‘positive’ advancements as a species ) are prone to stupidity and catastrophic mistakes/failure , at learning.
Learning what !?...., don’t play with Fire. Maybe!?

As a species we learn exceptionally well, otherwise we wouldn't have advanced to where we are today.
Our issue is we are exceptionally bad at long term thinking beyond our own lifetimes outside of academic endeavours, as well not being able to see the unintended consequences of our actions, but we are just animals and not omnipotent/omniscient.

"We learn exceptionally well"...yeah: "Grog, try that red berry will you?" Ah, Grog is writhing on the ground holding his belly: "Red berry no good!"
Isn't it ironic that all of our ideas/successes were made making mistakes first! So, in effect; the bad has to be done before the good...

I’ve always thought of learning as being the mistakes rather than the successes."We learn exceptionally well"...yeah: "Grog, try that red berry will you?" Ah, Grog is writhing on the ground holding his belly: "Red berry no good!"
I suppose what I mean by that is that mistakes can help us understand the why, more than just the how. Well it seems that way when I have had to learn things.

Or, it calls your boss to tell them. That isn't really impossible!

I always presumed in SF movies with aliens, etc, the humans were all wearing micro earphones or chips in the their ear/brains etc which translated alien languages into english, like the Babelfish in HHGTTG.
I also wondered if it would get disorienting hearing words which don't match the moving mouth/lips of the speaker. It would be like living inside a poorly dubbed Spaghetti western or cheap Kung Fu flick.

"In his later years, Grog would speak in sullen tones about the times of "the Evil Red Berry", and his frequent trips to the bushes just outside his cave. In a somewhat more jovial tone, he would recount how he smeared Tyrannosaurus bait on the entrance to the cave of the one who suggested Grog try the Evil Red Berry."We learn exceptionally well"...yeah: "Grog, try that red berry will you?" Ah, Grog is writhing on the ground holding his belly: "Red berry no good!"
Grog still smiles when recounting the screams of Turgu.."

You're right on that one: no written history/experiences; only the re- telling, along the years and generations, of the good, the bad and the ugly
Years later, Grog would be "The father of modern medicine and founder of the Assassin's Creed"You're right on that one: no written history/experiences; only the re- telling, along the years and generations, of the good, the bad and the ugly
In space movies when running from insane stalker/hunters, why don't they just set their ship on auto pilot and send it off somewhere while they stay on their newly found primitive world. No tech, no tracking. I don't care how good your tracking is, you can't find one organic lifeform on a planet in the middle of nowhere.
