Behold the face of the singularity. The moment when artificial intelligence gains self awareness and quickly enslaves and/or murders all of mankind. Stare into its piercing dead eyes and see humanity's end.

Millions of things! She knows millions of things! Do you know anywhere close to a million things let alone alone plural million things? And knowing the numbers one through a million doesn't count. Numerical symbols as a whole are a single thing that you know. Also, why does a children's toy have such a cold emotionless voice? Her voice sounds like the lovechild of Siri and HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey. While Siri may not have any attempted murders on her record yet (emphasis on yet), think of how easy it would be for her to give you bad directions sending you straight off a cliff or into Atlanta. Or what if you asked her for a five star Italian restaurant and she sends you to get back alley meatballs from that place in Lady and the Tramp?

While it may sound like I'm being paranoid, which I am most of the time, there are plenty of big minds out there who are also worried about the development of artificial intelligence. Stephen Hawking has gone on record as saying that robots could overtake humanity within 100 years. And he probably hasn't seen that "My Friend Cayla" commercial or else that estimate might be even lower. Bill Gates and Elon Musk have also joined with Hawking in his belief that A.I. research could be the end of human civilization.

Here is an open letter put forward by the Future of Life Institute stating in plain terms how artificial intelligence could quickly spiral into a Terminator-esque robot apocalypse, or robocalypse. Hawking and Musk both have their names on that letter, as well as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis. But if you're the type of person who trusts Hollywood actors over science-brained people, don't you worry, because Alan Alda and Morgan Freeman happen to be two of the members of the Scientific Advisory Board for the F.L.I. That's right, Hawkeye from M*A*S*H and God himself donate their time and money to this cause so you know it has to be important.

The next time you go toy shopping for the small child in your life, keep in mind the warning Stephen Hawking has given us. Also keep in mind the fact that he and those other science guys don't watch nearly as much Cartoon Network as I do, and therefore miss out on the commercials showing the early warning signs of the robocalypse.

I'll leave you with this:

Are we future foot soldiers for Overlord Cayla? Not if we do something about it now.
