In the Robot series, the Foundation series, and almost all of his short stories, Asimov's robots are clearly not evil. Instead, they were meant as foils to humans and humanity in general, reflecting our own struggles and themes. If you read Asimov's own non-fiction and autobiographical material, this becomes increasingly apparent.

I've been reading Asimov since the '70's, and I think liquidmark's comment shouldn't be so derisively shrugged off, especially considering that it is in accordance with the author's own intentions.]]>Apr 6th 2009 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/

Is it "light hearted" for you to say "Christ, it's always like this with engadget commenters" or to suggest that they re-read something with a wider perspective? No, YOU are the one who obviously has something to prove, though none of the substance to back it up. I don't really care that you want to put down others, but if your response to a reasonable rebuttal is to golf-clap, then you're clearly just petty and don't have anything useful to share.

You dished out some uninformed BS, in a holier-than-thou manner. Someone called you on it. Deal with it. ]]>Apr 6th 2009 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/Apr 6th 2009 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/Apr 6th 2009 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/Apr 6th 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/Apr 6th 2009 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/Apr 6th 2009 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/Apr 6th 2009 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/06/cb2-child-robot-returns-smarter-creepier-than-ever/
