A world with only robots and aspies?

Just in the middle of watching a fantastic Korean drama called: I am not a robot - and the answer for me, is that yes, I could, as long as I had control over what the robot said and did.

Much easier than dealing with fellow humans.
 
Already robots are replacing humans in a number of areas of employment, for example call centres. However, I don't necessarily find it easier to deal with the robot (recorded voice) - the robot won't repeat when I ask it, it can't give me further information or answer my questions, the information it gives or questions it asks are not always relevant to my problem and if it asks me to provide infomation, it doesn't give me enough time to give the information - so I still end up frustrated and needing to talk to a real person. I don't think that robots can or should replace humans.

Skynet agrees. ;)
 
I was thinking, a world populated only by aspies and robots....
Would there be a 50/50 chance of being one or the other?

Suppose you were one of the robots?
:)

And what about the cats?
Which would they be?
 
I would be leery of a situation like that. The robots might notice that these beings that are made of meat, are not very efficient and therefore should be eliminate. Just saying.

I do not think that the Aspies would be robots. However, I have heard it said that all cats are Aspies.

The question is what you mean by "control." Computers (and by extent, robots) do exactly what they are told to do, either by internal programming or operator instructions. The problem is, what you think you told it to do may not be what you actually told it to do. Any programmer has lot of examples.

Hmm! doesn't seem to be happening here.
Mankind had better be careful about what it creates.
