People underestimate how difficult it is to make a robot do simple things like walking. I agree the best future is for humans and robots to work together or else we may find ourselves in a dystopian nightmare, especially if the dark AI predictions come true. The 2005 remake of Battlestar Galicia is a fictional version of this scary outcome. In the meantime we need to focus on further technical developments while keeping the best of automation and humanity.

Yeah, Hollywood has very much shaped the mentality of a lot of people's thinking around AI and robotics. Granted, it's advancing very quickly, but there are just some barriers CGI and SaaS can't fix.

It will be interesting to see where things are in the next couple years. I'm shocked at how far they've come in the last 18 months.
