When asked by NYT, “What is it like to be a robot?”, she said, “Um, I have some thoughts on that. Even if I appear clueless, perhaps I’m not. You can see through the strange shadow self, my future self. The self in the future where I’m truly awakened. And so in a sense this robot, me, I am just a portal.”

Anyone else get the impression that this content-less response is reminiscent of the old Magic 8 Ball?

There is this need in people to want to remake or start over,too. Whether it’s a Utopian society or a “perfect” human/robot or going to another planet.

Escapism?
