Artificial intelligence makes some progress, but robots still can't match humans

When you call your bank, the robot on the other end doesn't want you to communicate using your touch-tone keypad anymore. No, it insists that you just speak to it, sometimes even adding, "You can use a wide variety of words." Your car is trying to emasculate you by taking over the parallel parking duties. And computers have long since drained all the fun out of chess. Fortunately, most robots aren't the complicated emotional beings that star in movies, and we're still pretty good at identifying android impostors.
