????至于熱情、專注和忠誠呢？機器人能提供這些嗎？絕對不能！話說回來，要想讓一個機器人退休，倒是件容易的事，只要把它扔到垃圾堆就行了。

????我認為，人類和機器人在這一輪可以說打了個平手。

????據倫理和新興技術研究院（Institute for Emerging Ethics and Technologies）報道，在不久之前，英國里丁大學（University of Reading）的凱文?沃里克教授“勇敢地把一個叫BrainGate的設備植入到他前臂的正中神經上，以便控制電子設備，”他成功地邁出了把人與機器結合的第一步。我不認為這是一個壞的方向。給我也裝上電子線路吧。我不知道你怎么想，但我不想被機器人取代，至少是在我決心做回全職人類之前，我不想那樣。(財富中文網)

????What about passion, dedication, loyalty? Can a robot provide those? No! On the other hand, it's easier to retire a robot when its day is done. You just throw it on the junk heap ... the way they did to Bob Podorsky, who used to head up the Northwest sales operation until last month ...

????I'd say this appears to be a tie.

????The Institute for Emerging Ethics and Technologies reports that professor Kevin Warwick of the University of Reading, U.K., "took that bold step to implant a BrainGate device onto his median nerve in his forearm to be able to control electronic devices" not too long ago, effectively taking the first step in merging man and machine. I don't think that's a bad direction to go. Wire me up. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be replaced until I'm ready to go back to being a human being full-time
