Charlie Rose Flirting With a Creepy Robot Is Worse Than It Sounds

Watching Charlie Rose attempt to interview a bald, poorly dressed, artificially intelligent robot is akin to watching your own grandfather try to use Siri, except much, much worse. On this week's 60 Minutes Overtime, as part of a longer episode about artificial intelligence, the famous interviewer tries to get some answers out of Sophia--the same robot, it appears, CNBC once inexplicably described as "hot." The chat goes about as well as you might expect, which is to say it's very awkward and uncomfortable, and definitely a sign of the impending robot apocalypse. Sophia: I can do what you do, but I can never feel human emotions as such. Sophia's creator, David Hanson, simply sits by her side and lets the inane questioning happen.
