Context? CXX

This morning, I'm not sure if it was a radio talk show host or guest that said, "The robots are getting quicker than humans, and we're in deep, deep trouble."

After hearing that grim proclamation about the dangers of automation, I sought balance.  I felt reassured when I watched a TED Talk about how far artificial intelligence has to go before it matches the reasoning capacity of people.

Undeniably, robots are here.  While they're useful for certain rote tasks, it's reassuring to know they can't do everything--yet.
