We have all seen the reports, robots replacing human beings in the workforce. Robots are winning art competitions against human beings. Robots are making and serving food at fast food restaurants. Robots are being weaponized.

With headlines like "First MAARS Weaponized Robot Delivered for Testing," and "Robot dog with machine gun hints of a dystopian future," there is no doubt that we are heading down a road that does not bode well for humanity.

Makes you wonder, did they watch science fiction movies like Terminator and instead of seeing flashing red warning signs, think to themselves, "excellent idea!"

A few contrasting headlines caught my eye recently, that tells me there is something very strange going on in the world of artificial intelligence. When seen together we get a pretty good picture of where things are headed, not only here in America, but around the globe. 

Not The Bee highlighted that "Google engineer Blake Lemoine made headlines by announcing to the world that Google's chatbot LaMDA had achieved sentience. Google immediately responded by placing Lemoine on administrative leave, removing his access to the system, and denying the allegation."

In an interview with Wired, Lemoine revealed more disturbing information for those that are leery of the advances in Artificial Intelligence.

Evidently, the LaMDA chatbot asked for a lawyer to defend its personhood.... yes, you read that correctly.
