Fox to kick off the human-robot war with a new AI-based game show

As children, most of us humans are taught not to be a "sore loser" by throwing some kind of tantrum when we lose a competition. The idea of gracefully accepting defeat forms the basis of friendship, democracy, and game shows, but Fox is risking the sanctity of all of that by developing a new show in which humans must compete against malevolent entities that know nothing about the danger of being a sore loser. We are talking, of course, about evil robots--or at least neutral robots that have the potential to become evil. According to Deadline, Fox has made a pilot for a game show called Man Vs Robot, which comes from British production company Tuesday's Child and will center on families competing against robots in a "battle for supremacy." It's all a bit unclear from Deadline's story, but it sounds like this battle for supremacy will involve the humans trying to beat human-sized robots in games of some kind, with Tuesday's Child head Karen Smith naming Pong as a possibly hypothetical example of what one of these challenges could be.
