Sci-fi really dropped the ball on warning us about how much time we would be spending proving to robots that we're human. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around.
- edent 3y agoThat's basically what Blade Runner is about, no?

- zo1 3y agoUnless I'm missing something, isn't that "bots" convincing humans that they're human?
- actionfromafar 3y agoI actually think you missed something, but it also depends on which cut of the movie you saw.
- pcthrowaway 3y agoTo be fair, the book was much more explicit about this
- bluefirebrand 3y agoHow do you know it's not "bots" (humans) convincing "humans" (bots) that they're human? One of the kind of core things in Blade Runner imo is that it's basically impossible to know, because the artificial humans are basically identical to the real ones

- latexr 3y agoIf you call a customer service number and the person on the other side isn’t sufficiently helpful, you can ask to escalate or close the chat and return later to get someone else. But if it is a bot which isn’t helpful, you’re stuck and need to find another avenue of contact. Additionally, if the service representative on the other end looks helpful but confidently gives you wrong information that you later rely on, you may not have as much recourse.

- bonton89 3y agoThey should just ask you for money to prove you're human. If robots could be duped into buying useless crap off the internet they wouldn't care about humans in the first place.
