A rural upstate New York school district will be one of the first in the nation to bring a humanoid robot into the classroom. The Salamanca City Central School District, located on Seneca Nation territory, will be introducing $57,000 AI-powered “Sally” in high school classes in September as a teaching assistant, it announced last week.
Think about how scrambled the brains of a six or seven year old kid is already, then have them interacting with a robot that looks like some kinda Japanese sex doll that their fathers wish they had, and there's just no way this is gonna turn out well.
Self-driving cars. Robot teachers and doctors doing surgery with robots. Cameras everywhere. Robot vacuum cleaners in the house. Books that talk so the kids don't have to know how to read. A calculator on their cell-phones so they don't have to take a shoe off to count to 12. AI to do their homework. The list goes on and on.
This cannot end well...
