ROBOTS CAN'T DO EVERYTHING

1

Have read so many posts on steemit, journals on new research about robots and project articles about the hype of AI, CHATBOTS, ROBOTS generally etc.
And I must confess the technology age is going to take over the world preety soon and as much as I want to believe it that robots are effective and efficient but I know from my studies of thermodynamics that

No machine can be 100% efficient

Even during calculations of efficiency of any machine if your answer amounts to 100% it means there is an error in your calculations.
Honestly am tired of the hype and proved points about artificial intelligence. So in this post I will pointing out few things that robots cannot do noo matter how effective and efficient they may appear to be.

I don’t think there is anything like being served by someone whose seems genuinely wants to be serving. Why so many individuals are happy about the automation, robots as well as the self-service technology is that we all have been trying to create space in between brands and customers for years.

Quick Rh-Questions

Will anyone like to go the theater and watch performance doe by robots ?

Will anyone like to be operated on to do some major medical diagnosis by a robot?

Now I will lists few things robots cannot do as well as trying to reduce the hype and calm down the trend that humans might lose their full usefulness in the nearest future.

• Robots cannot feel sympathy

A robot trying to do the work of a therapist, Example calming an angry and frustrated person or telling a person sorry for your loss, am very sure it cannot make the person better because it’s just a robot without a soul.

• Robots cannot feel empathy

Taking for example somebody has is going through what you might have been through the both of them can share experience and talk about it. Now in the case of robots there is nothing of such.
Humans need this connection because we were built and wired to connect with each other this way

• Creative thinking

As much as a robot is very good at its specification there are times some extra efforts are needed in carrying out a task like being creative. Robots are mostly design for a major task like a robot can be design to screw the bolts on electrical appliance and which it requires human assistance.
I cannot imagine a robot coming up with brilliant documentary ideas like NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES examples Ozark or Chelsea.

• Working in the hospital to delivering bad news

For instance there is an MRI waiting for medical diagnosis, I am sure nobody wants the diagnosis to be done by a ROBOT, personally i won’t allow such. I would definitely need a well-trained practicing doctor who knows how to communicate in an emphatic way which helps the patient stay calm no matter the poor survival percentage.
How would you feel when you enter the hospital and a robots is the ones to attend to women in labor or surgical diagnosis. This are jobs for human and not robots especially in a situation where there is a case of delivering a bad news, this is best done by a human.

• Robots cannot and will not look into your eyes

Machines cannot destroy man as far as we know that machines are in service of humans. I know of a movie titles hidden figures, in this movie an actor that played the role of astronaut named John Glenn said with regards to the IBM mainframe that shot out potentially incorrect trajectory information for is landing “you cannot trust anything you cannot look directly into the eye”. Sincere I don’t see why these robots topic is a big deal because they cannot interpret real life situation, stuffs like that are meant for humans and there is no how a robot can work on his own so we should not let technology close our eyes to reality because machines are services to us.

• Understand comedy

I just cannot imagine a robot programmed to make me laugh because even some comedians and comedienne find it hard to make some people laugh but some are very good no matter what is happening in their life. Good comedy is gotten from humiliation, pain etc. all the amazing things of life you just can’t fake it because you will acquire stories from mysterious of awful experience but now a robots does not have those experience not to talk to the dramatizing and creating moves well making a good joke.

• Making a human feel heard

Let’s take a case study of our customer services because working as customer service is like working like a doing the job of a psychologist because when contacted by a customer with a problem, the problem is not always the product or service. Life can just be frustrating and most times customers just want attention now imagine a robot in that position (that’s a negative). Giving that attention is investing a good relationship with those customers.

• Robots can consider how the other person feel

Considering an IVR (INTERACTIVE VOICE RESPONSE) program that can consider the feeling and interpret the feeling of the customer at the other side of the phone now putting a robot in such situation it might malfunction in shock. People can get frustrated and smash their phone due to the fact that the IVR does not understand what they are trying to say or requesting. A customer can get angry and a human being should be able to gauge that and then probably tender an apology as the case may be sincerely and offer the closest solution. Now looking at it from the robot perspective where the robot is in that position, I am pretty sure that the company will lose customer from hearing a robot.

• Creating a trust relationship

Trust is established by constant communication showing of good behavior from both parties. In the case of robots they don’t have moral compass but they have compass and so many things to robots will not replicate in their relationship with man

This days the world we live in is getting strange and stronger. We have gone too far with the dystopian zombie apocalypse future view of the universe.

PS: the trend of Artificial Intelligence is awesome but there are places it cannot be applied as listed and explained or rather they need the help of man to function close to satisfaction
