I always knew kids would treat robots as best friends..

I don't know about this . . . I mean, my sister when she was a child treated her play dolls exactly like these kids treated the robot . . . I wonder what the kids would say if they were actually interviewed about it . . .

But I do think they have a point, that children will be the first to be convinced that a robot has the intelligence of a human . . .

Of course, they dont know any better to actually analyze everything that the bot is doing and how its reacting to things.

TBCH I dont have much faith in a fully intelligent AI. It practically feels like a sacrelig to say it but I mean just thinking about the complexity of the human brain even in the very extreme little we know about it even still and the function of the modern silicon chip and all that... it just doesnt seem like something that can be accomplished within the near decades... But I guess I can still hope?
