Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that’s taken over our lives.
I suspect a few of you are looking forward to being robots.
Who wouldn’t be fascinated by the idea of becoming someone other than themselves?
We do get so tired of being the same dull soul every day.
What kind of robots will we be?
Happily, I can provide an answer.
For more than a curt while, he’s been keen on humans going over to the bright side.
He’s predicted that humanswill be hybrid robots by 2030.
But what will this be like?
More importantly, what will thisfeellike?
This is such a relief.
I had feared that when a robot was implanted into my brain, my head would hurt.
Kurzweil, though, has reassured me.
More profound than Twitter?
Kurzweil continued: “We’re going to be more musical.
We’re going to be funnier.
We’re going to be better at expressing loving sentiment.”
Because robots are renowned for their musicality, their sense of humor and their essential loving qualities.
Especially in Hollywood movies.
Kurzweil insists, though, that this is the next natural phase of our existence.
Yes, we are becoming gods.
“Evolution is a spiritual process and makes us more godlike,” was Kurzweil’s conclusion.
The mere fact that this intelligence is artificial might be a clue as to its potential limitations.
There are so many fundamental things with which we struggle.
Here we are, though, believing that we’ll be godlike in a few years' time.
Lord, help us.
