Over a decade ago, Will Wright (of SimCity fame) faked conversational AGI robots in the streets and restaurants of Oakland. It consistently took people 2.4 seconds to go from “Oh look. The robots have arrived.” to “And, I’ll have fries with that.”
Hollywood and the media have taught the public that tech is literally magic and can do literally anything. “Anything” is expected and pedestrian.
