And have any humans actually been uploaded to android/robot bodies?
--- End quote ---
They showed that in the Channel 4/AMC series "Humans". A teenage girl named Renie was acting like a "synth", and the main cast's youngest daughter Sophie began doing likewise.
We haven't seen anything like "Ghost in the Shell"'s ability to take a human brain, encapsulate it in a "cyberbrain" and install it into an android chassis in the QC-verse. I doubt that is where Jeph would try to take it, but we have seen low-level cyborgs a la Clinton.
Buggman:
Yeah, somehow I don't buy that turning over control to AI would be such a great idea for humanity.
Exhibit A: Pintsize
Exhibit B: May
Exhibit C: The company that paired Pintsize with Martin
Exhibit D: Station and Spaceship (not that they're bad, but they clearly make bad decisions sometimes)
Exhibit E: Spookybot
Frankly, the AIs we've met haven't shown any more wisdom, compassion, or morality than the humans. Which is fine, but it makes it a bit arrogant for an AI to talk about taking over for the "good" of humanity.
DSL:
No. 4: Enterprise bridge crew turns and stares in mixed shock and sadness.
UNNAMED CREWMAN: "That's two now. Shouldn't you have just taken her straight to sickbay?"
KIRK: "Never mind. This scene'll be cut."
jwhouk:
#3
NARDOLE: "Blimey! I thought you said that door was sealed?"
THE DOCTOR (taking off sonic sunglasses): "It isn't. But I can't fix that with a sonic screwdriver."
pendrake:
#2... "I'm sorry, sir. This is a Butts Disease Clinic, not a Butts Repair Shop."
And for #1...
BAM! "Please, help! My babies' butts have fallen off!"
[Jeph]: "Damn it, Willis! Learn to change your kids' diapers properly! Although...that does give me an inspiration...."
Thanks all for playing, hope some came away with a few laughs. :claireface:
