"How could an adult fool a child into allowing them to enter the child's house?" It's essentially this. We are talking about something that would be more intelligent than everyone, there are countless ways in which it could fool us. Especially once we start to build things we don't quite understand how it works. Like we won't just build the machine and kept locked forever with zero interaction with it, otherwise it would be useless. It all reminds me of the "Contact" movie scene where humans build a machine that they essentially didn't know how it worked, but which did..
- sterlind 3y agoThat's an interesting reframing, but the adult is scary because he's physically present, in a larger and stronger body, one with hands. A fairer comparison would be an adult messaging a child over the internet. A lot of evil can be done, but their life is unlikely to be endangered - much less so, at least, than it would be if the adult were in the driveway with a Free Candy van.
