Artificial Intelligence and Sizzler

I'm bored.

If you had seen my previous entry, I'm sure you would have realized that I'm quite bored.

Well!

I watched I, Robot (IR) yesterday. It's a pretty good show. I like the plot, the computer graphics and the twist at the end. It's much recommended!

Won't it be scary if machines take over the world one day? Like the Matrix? Or like in IR? These 2 movies had explored the possibilities of machines taking over Earth but in different way and forms. The similarities lay in the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI). If Reader did watch the Bicentennial Man and A.I., you would have probably thought about the limits of AI. Can a robot really understand emotions? If all actions are judged based on what's right and what's not, wouldn't this world be very cold?

If a man steals, do you ask yourself why? Is it because of greed? Did he steal gold? Or was it food? Is it because he has 3 young children starving at home? A human judge may reduce a sentence based on humanity grounds, would a being with AI do the same?

This type of technology would probably only exist after my time anyway. I foresee robots doing a lot of things for human in the future, but I guess AI would not be something I will live to witness. Unless of course, new technologies in the future improves enough in the future to enables me to live to a ripe old age.

This brings to me one question.

If a robot with AI is really able to have emotions exactly like a human. Would it have a religion?

Heehee.

If I haven't said this before, I love clam chowder!

The one at Long John's is not too bad; it?s the cheapest and it's easily available. The one at Sizzler where I went to last night is good; I can add my own bacon bits and spring onions from the salad bar. But I must say the one at Fish and Co has to be the best I've tried so far! The soup is chunky and there's a bite of clam in almost every mouthful!

Oops, enough of digressing. I've meant to talk about my dinner at Sizzler. It was good man! I need to try something the next time I'm there. The food is really good. I like the chicken there. It's just so smooth and tender. Slurps! Man, I'm drooling at the thought of it. Then again, the thing I really like is the chicken, hmmmm. Oh well! I'm starting to miss the mussels in lemon butter at Fish and Co. The calamari at Spageddies too. The buffet at Gengkis Khan. The? There goes my waist. Haha!
