Why you so scared?

On Monday, we watched the move, Be Right Back, in which a man dies and his essence (I use this term loosely) was returned in the body of a very realistic human robot. This aspect many people found troubling even creeping, Masahiro Mori, a robotic Professor, discusses this theory he calls the Uncanny Valley. He discusses how people are ok with robots up to an extent but the minute they become too human people start feeling uneasy. This is interesting to me, I guess maybe I’m a sci-fi kinda girl, but the thought of life like human robots interest me, and what about the man recreated in a life like human robot, what if their was a way to actually transfer his stream of consciousness into the machine? That could be an end to death as we know it, I don’t know about you but I would love to have my Mother, Grandmother and Grandfather back. I can understand the whole scary damnation thing, scary robots taking over and getting rid of the inefficient humans, but I feel as if is unfounded. I mean I love terminator as much as the next guy, but I can’t foresee a future where robots try to kill off the human race. What I can see is that in the future life becomes more automated, think about now compare to even say ten years ago, how much has your phone changed and are you scared of your phones? I feel like the only real monster in the world are humans, I mean think about it we start wars, we steal, lie and cheat. Now I am not saying we are all bad because were not we are beautiful and unique but flawed and in a way I think people are scared of anything that threatens to compete with their uniqueness. So where are we to go from here, I feel that we can learn to accept the possibility of life like human robots and work towards integrating science and life the possibilities are endless to what the human race could really achieve I mean look how far we have already come. What lies ahead could be the next step in human evolution and that’s kinda cool to me. Alan Kay a computer Scientist said this “Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.” I like this now ask yourself do you feel inferior looking at a flower.
