《Tales of Disruption》Bots Are Boring
Advertisement
A military think tank held a private roundtable to discuss a social experiment.
"John, do you have new data?" asked Dr. Himari Sato, the chief scientist.
"Yes, ma'am." John stood up and holographically projected a graph. "As you see, the kill-to-death ratios are much higher when they see an android vs. a robot."
Dr. Samantha Jacobs raised her hand.
"Yes, Sam?" answered Dr. Sato.
"So in training, the soldiers target androids more often than robots? Do the androids look identical to humans?"
"100% …" John answered.
Dr. Franklin Jones raised his hand.
"Yes, Frank?" responded Dr. Sato.
"I might be able to provide a psychological insight into this. I've watched my teenage son play online games looking for opponents, and he says he prefers fighting against real humans versus bots. So I believe there's an inherent competitive instinct within our species for survival, boosting the ego. Besides that, according to him, bots are boring."
The council members smiled and chuckled.
