How computer-generated people become more odd-looking the more human-like they become. I think they should keep trying though. Sooner or later someone will nail it and they will be indistinguishable from humans and therefore video games will be better, or something like that.
Roomba, one of those Frisbee-shaped vacuum robots, and it doesn’t look even vaguely human. Yet as it zips around my living room, it seems amazingly alive, and I can’t help but feel warmly toward it.
I love my little roomba. He does all that work for me.
