I think robots can do what humans do but only to a certain extend. Task like mass production at a factory or company data input can be easily handeled by robots, but other task that requires thinking (moral thinking) should be left for humans to complete. If a robot is programmed only to do a certain task then it will less likely make error than human. For example, if a robot is programmed to carry out a function requiring it to sort out materials it would not make much error because it only needs to carry out that task. Whereas, humans are more likely to make an error because we are programmed to do much more than that. The article" Drone entrepreneur Chris Anderson is skeptical about Amazon's drone delivery plan," talks about Amazon drone possible having problems. The drones that they created are programmed to carryout deliver of parcels, but they have yet to program it to avoid ostacles along its path. If that same parcel was to be delivered by a human being, it'd be in our nature to avoid obstacles. Hence, proving my point that robots are not able to do something they aren't programmed to do even if it's considered " common sense" for us humans.
True, humans perform tasks considerably depending on the situation but robots will only perform the tasks in the way that is programmed.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Task like mass production at a factory or company data input can be easily handeled by robots, whereas tasks that requires thinking should be left for humans.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Robots will only react how they are programmed to react which is why I believe they can cause more problems because if they encounter a problem, they will continue to do it until programmed otherwise, but a human can realize the problem and stop before it gets worse.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why some of us humans want to program robots to do certain things that humans can only do.
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt that the Amazon drone will ever exist because if it can fly by itself then why do planes have pilots? Wouldn't the FAA have to approve the drones in the air space? What happens in bad weather? I think the drones is just a waist of time, air space, and money.
