Will Smith Was Wrong About the Robots

I, Robot was first released to theaters back in 2004. In it, the movie's filmmakers paint a fictional future (2035) where humanoid robots serve humanities needs. Our beloved Fresh Prince of Bel Air superstar is cast as a Chicago police detective named Del Spooner. Del hates robots with a deep skepticism after his experience with one that was unable to navigate a moral conundrum. Throughout the film, he condescends to these mechanical stewards for being unable to empathize and emote the way he believes only humans can. In one memorable scene, Del proclaims defiantly that robots are incapable of writing a symphony, or turning a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece.
