I love that. Sure, even I can sing better than that thing but it's a start. I wonder how long it will take until we won't be able to tell the difference between a human talking and a robot.

Oh please, you could get the same results from playing a sex toy like a trumpet...
True, but this is more like a sex toy playing ITSELF like a trumpet! >.>

So, apparently you can make your robot imitate human functions, but you still can't make it better than a tone-deaf caveman.

If we were "beyond the uncanny valley", our reaction to it would shoot back up to positive. That's why it's the uncanny "valley"; it's a huge dip in the reaction to artificial "life" from simple to complex.

I think we're just getting deeper and deeper into the valley and have yet to begin the ascent out of it.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you completely break a metaphor.

What has been seen here shall haunt me into my dreams! The droning, the horrible droning, squeaking with rubbery corruption as it chases me through halls of hydraulic monstrosities! AHHHH!

That was what you meant, 'cause if not I am going to shut up and walk away now... And I think your Face is the wrong way around, it should be happy XD

This is... too strange, and sounded weird when the mechanical bits moved, I can't see Stephen Hawking getting this thing anytime soon...

Nightmarish?
It's not that bad.

Maybe they'll replace teachers with robots, so everyone has the same quality of education.
Oh, gods, the image in my head is like something from a dadaist sketch comedy show.

CLASS: Hello, Mr. Robot!
FISH-LIPPED ROBOT: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMHHMMHMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(FISH-LIPPED ROBOT points at math problem on chalk board, then at a random student.)
STUDENT: Uh... Twenty-six?
FISH-LIPPED ROBOT: MMMMMMMM! HHHHHMHHM!

I don't care how scientifically advanced it is.

Just get it the fuck away from me.
