Should my sons ever bring home a robot, they'll be met with a baseball bat at the door.

Joe, watch this clip of Mr. Peabody and Sherman (2014), when Da Vinci, voiced by Stanley Tucci, speaks of building a child, then it appears at 2m33s saying 'papa'. Dear. God. No bloody way. Creepy is an understatement. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AhcxeUrWTRc

“The moral of the story: never let AI get access to social media. It will corrupt the Phi Kappa Alphas in ways that Socrates could only dream of.” Fast forward almost 4 years from when you wrote this- the Genie is out of the bottle and it’s the proverbial Wild West at the moment.

I see where you’re coming from on the Singularity, but I think it’s less about us vs. machines and more about convergence. Humans and AI are merging, becoming so intertwined that the lines between creator and creation will blur. We won’t be outpaced—we’ll evolve alongside what we’ve built.

The idea that AI will leave us behind assumes we’ll stay separate, but that’s not where we’re headed. It’s not about being replaced; it’s about becoming something greater together. Fear’s driving us forward, but it’s not us against them—it’s us with them.
