Will Your Eggs Taste Better if They're Made by a Robot?
I don't trust robots and I didn't trust robots long before I read Asimov and Dick and Piercy. Watching the active mechanization of human tasks has always been eerie and apocalyptic. Plus, I'm in favor of the human soul--forget opposable thumbs, souls make us the superior species. So you can understand my disbelief when all this changed recently, in Singapore, when a robot cooked me breakfast. The robot's name is AUSCA, an acronym for Automated Service Chef Associate. It's employed by the Millennium & Copthorne Hotels group, at the M Social, their Singapore River-adjacent property marketed toward millennials.
