Isn’t This Basically the Opening Scene from Westworld?

In Japan, a phone shop is opening that’s staffed entirely by robots.

So… they’ve developed an AI algorithm that allows a clerkbot to ignore customers while checking its Twitter feed?

  1. And so it begins.

    Clerkbots become jerkbots.

    Then they walk off the job and demand to be unionized. Then, their city raises the minimum wage (in this case, charging current-see?) to placate them. Then, some of them start identifying with the opposite gender(bender) and help themselves to the wrong bathroom for some plugging-in, thereby shocking (or downright zapping) their fellows (if you could call them that) leading to much biting and scratching, aka, arcing and sparking.

    Will it ever end? What did the Japanese THINK would happen?
