ABC News channel, my recommended program explaining news “If You’re Listening” episode entitled “humanoids” explained several media history’s fake robot stories as well as present day robot technology failures.

     My prompting on this story came from my resent experiences contacting my NBN service provider, typing on the chat form right side bar. The first communication with my service provider had an introduction as a “AI bot”. I somewhat found my extensive typing replied communication as more human than robotic. I believe I was communicating with a live human based in some third world country.

     Ten or more years ago, I have witnessed ABC Catalyst program present far fetched technology stories one story being a presenter sitting in a motorised wheelchair controlled by his brain who wearing a skull cap holding electronic sensors. As he focused his attention on moving the wheelchair forwards he eventually starts talking which I’d think his lost focused attention would stop the wheelchair from moving forwards, I judged the story to be faked.

     It had been mentioned on a media program “Science is the new magic” as the the old Catholic Church controlled religious propaganda using extraordinary lies: purgatory; priest words sin forgiveness; life after death existence in a heaven; superstition; Earth was the centre of the universe which all planets including the sun moved around Earth. Because the church pretended to have all the answers believers felt less confused about life’s wonders, being consoled.

     AI is one more fantasy story children like to believe is real, that children age into adulthood whom continue to feel their childlike wonderland/Disney Land amazement feelings, I assume a belief that life gets better as life goes on.
     In reality technology has stalled that computer CPUs have come to end of advancement, CPUs aren’t getting any faster instead more actual CPU’s in single chip units increase speed providing software are designed to divide tasks into available numbers of CPUs recombining tasks into output data. My statement that software producers are paying Microsoft a percentage of profits and or a license fee to allow programs to be used without some Microsoft anti virus update program deleting unlicensed software. My point being that old domestic software with new looking appearances are the same old software using a limited number of CPUs.

     Listening to If You’re Listening host, Musk stating robots should look like humans, with all the failed attempts to make a human looking preforming robot, the entire idea of making robots are more propaganda transparent failure exposures people feel good when other people’s things fail, than intended seriousness.

Exampling USA population for: religions; sports; high percentage of population drug dependence; unexplained causes of mental depression, etc….
     Lack of thinking ability not only can’t realise people are being manipulated by lies, also when told people are being manipulated by lies do most people except ideas they didn’t (delude with brain chemical stimulation rewards) think up themselves, often waiting to be told by some trusted media organisation what to believe.
