wikipedia AI wanderings
Whilst thinking about AI, I went on a bit of a Wikipedia wander and discovered:
- android is technically masculine. You can also have gynoid.
- there’s a theory called “uncanny valley” that when robots look/act almost like actual humans, it causes revulsion in the human observers
- grey goo is an end of the world scenario in which out-of-control robots consume all matter while building more of themselves—a scenario known as ecophagy (“eating the environment”)
I’m sure that will all come in handy one day.
