Why are we expected to believe all of this horseshit!
They can't even launch a fucking Insurance exchange.
The best software is behind us in the rearview mirror.
There's no way we'll ever have AI with the current minds working and reporting on it now.
This will go the way of the surgical nanobots, the versatile nanotubes that was going to revolutionize materials and products.
We've even seen 3D printing come and go with out as much as a whimper.
Everyone I knew that had a 3D printer 3 years ago never touch it.
3D printing turned out to be 5 times more expensive than injection mold and 1000 times more time consuming for production.

Yep. My favorite example is IVRs. Been around for 20-30 years and still suck Balls. If they can't get an automated telephone system with a very limited number of inputs right, you can forget about robots running restaurants by themselves.
Researchers at NEC System technologies and Mie University have designed the cute little guy to the right: a metal man gastronomist, "an electromechanical sommelier", capable of identifying wines, cheeses, meats and hors d'oeuvres. Upon being given a sample, he will speak up in a childlike voice and identify what he has just been fed. The idea is that wineries can tell if a wine is authentic without even opening the bottle, amongst other more obscure uses...like "tell me what this strange grayish lump at the back of my freezer is/was."
But when some smart aleck reporter placed his hand in the robot's omnivorous clanking jaw, he was identified as bacon. A cameraman then tried and was identified as prosciutto.
Absolutely horrifying. Like cows, once robots taste blood, their hunger for human flesh can never be satiated.

Good thing they can't tell a water feature from concrete or open a simple push down latch door yet.
