I think that people want both, but not in the same machine. Having a robot buddy that washes the dishes and cleans your room is too close to having a slave for most people to stomach.

- VLM 8y agoMy 14 year old roomba has algorithms that are dumber than all livestock I can think of; my pet tropical fish exhibit better path finding abilities when I feed them. When the roomba unintelligently, yet effectively, cleans my room I do not feel any danger of human anthropomorphism. Much like airplanes are not imitations of birds, its unlikely household robots will be mistaken for human slaves. A lot of time was wasted in the development years of heavier than air flight by trying to poorly imitate birds using machines.
