A machine ought to be recignized as a machine

 I moved from Savonlinna to Espoo in the capital district some five months ago. Some time ago I saw on tge street a robot like human figure, looking much like an unwise human. But a humanoid robot does not have all nirmal human cgaracteristics like skills in moving, wisdom of life, social skills, thinking of the whole society and especially carrying responsibility. So one cannit stsy healthy if one thinjs the passer bys that are robits would be humans  since they do not have such abilities of staying healthy in the everydsy lufe, not such reluability, and neither have they skills of keeping the dociety good to live in and defication to such a goal.

Propably it is the sa.e with auyomatically driven cars: one cannot lean on them as parts of the society. And so all machines should be easily recognuzed as machines and not as living beings.


15. July 2021   I live in Espoo, near the caputal of Finland. The district I happened to find an apartment has a food theme in it's name because of the road tunnel under some houses. Because of that some guess that people here could bear more with the help of food than what Finns usually have patience for. Just before Midsummer there were mechanical human like voices outside which appeared like humanoid robots. That was tough because thosr apprared unwise and dominating, maybe making myrders and replacing people. There were also automatically driven cars which appeared quite wise and like car professionals. Then ut turned out that the humanoid robots were of such level that interests kids, and so there were people who can handle the situation. So were some days. Then there were sounds of people from thevtropics who were just stuck stupid because of hot westher, and the question seemef to be, were robots easiervto bear and how to teach thinking skills to those kinds of people. And what about recovered people who had been too long in hospital, how to get avgrasp of normal life - are such easier to understand when after robots one does not suppose any basic skill level in everything. And does the same help in understanding gorillas?

8th of June 2022   Ahumanoid robot or an mobile phone with human like user interface i.e. android, isn't a straight continuation of old fashioned elementary computers and com9uter programming. Instead it has been made to resemble human functioning, like looking hmm aha, assembled from that kind of models of the functions of a human individual with individual chsracteristics and typical old skill level, and so with the ability to learn too by building similarly on those old chsracteristics.
