The Evil of A.I. V.S. Flying Cars
Matthew “The Scape Goat” Johnson
VS.
Andrew “The Almighty King” Roberts
A.I.
Artificial Intelligence is awesome, I mean come on, you could have your very own robot to do your chores and home work. Who wants a flying car when everyday when you get home from school you would never have to worry about doing anything but having fun.
Flying cars might be cool but Andy is afraid of heights so he could not fly anyway. Why do we need flying cars I mean that would be just another thing to polute the air.
Anyway A.I. would be so cool, I mean, who does Andy think he is to say robots would be bad.You can’t believe things you see in the movie theater. What do the movies know about robots.
Robots would be cool. If someone was messing with you or someone was breaking into your house your robot would be able to take care of the problem. My opponet talks about, how the robot would get mad and try to hurt its owner. What about the movie Bicentinal Man? Robin Williams played a nice robot. The person would have to be smarter then the robot. Right Andy? To keep the robot from hurting them. Ok maybe the government would have to put warning labels on the robots saying not for use of anyone under the age of 10. Poor Andy.
If we had flying cars we would have to go through all the trouble of getting a new license and airlines would be out a business. And how would we maintain these flying cars?Would we start having new machnic schools?
What kind of fuel would they use and anyway he talks of this deadline he has to meet. He rarely meets his deadline in our class let alone anywhere else. First of all the government never promised us flying cars but they have created robots to do dangerious jobs that people can not do.
If we had flying cars who’s to say people with flying cars wouldn’t try to run over people with their flying cars, with artificial intellgence we could send robots to war and we would not have to lose human life. We could also use them as firemen and policeman that way our own community works would be safe. We would not need to give them weapons because they would be able to out run cars. This would make for less high speed car chases and maybe less death from them.
The Robot cops could have breathalizers installed and that way they could give the person the results at the same time. They could also have printable warrants so they could arrest a person on the spot. If you had your own personnal robot that you could take to school and it would be cool because when you are sick and you can’t go to school, your robot could go for you. I mean come on, a robot with A.I. are so much cooler then flying cars. A flying car is just a car that can fly a robot is your own personal body guard. Robots could drive you around or maybe even turn into flying cars I mean why not, they are robots and with a robot you would not need a stupid flying car.I know some ofpeople reading this could careless about Andy and I argueing about flying cars and A.I, and we could careless.
But for the select few people who actually care about what Andy and I have to say God bless you. And to all the people with Irish heritage you are the greatest people on earth especially you Mr. Miller. Ok I will hand it to Andy he has some good points, but he has a beard. You can’t trust anyone with a beard I mean look at Silent Bob he really hated Jay because of his beard. Well I do like doing impressions and I have a good one of Andy. He just said this the other day as a matter of fact. “Matt you are the almighty King, not me. I just call you scape goat because I’m dealing with my own insecurities.” Thank you very much, “The Almighty King Andy”. Well I guess you can read Andy’s side now if you want to read about a 45 year old senior’s opinion.
Flying Cars
As I sit and reflect on this last year we have just passed through, I ponder the same thought over and over again. “Why aren’t we in flying cars yet?” It’s been promised to use, by movies and television. Look at “2001: A Space Odyssey”. We’re suppose to be in space. But are we in space at the moment? The answer is no, no we arenot.
That’s why every year that passes without “The Jetsons” like flying cars, is an utter disappointment. Mister “Scape Goat” would lead you astray and say robots are good, flying cars are bad. But there is one important fact he needs to know, he’s wrong.
Artificially intelligent, walking, talking, probably singing and dancing, destroy or inslave the human race robots. Have we not learned from the mistakes human kind has made on film? When you make robots something sooner or later happens. And Matt would just have you ignore the movies, “you can’t believe things you see in the movie theater” he says. Well what about the movie “Pearl Harbor”? Am I suppose to believe that didn’t happen? No because it did happen, and “Terminator” that will happen too. Hints: “Its the end of the world as we know it” (side note: that is an awesome song).
Oh, and now that I think of it, “2001A Space Odyssey”, 2001, it’s 2005 I think the government is slacking big time. They missed the deadline by four years, if I missed a dealine by four years I’d get fired, (that is to say if I worked for an actual paper like the New York Times.) I know “Scape Goat” (as I like to call him) says I never make my deadlines. Well people of Apollo I have a shocking true story for you, Matthew Johnson has lied to you again. I in fact always meet my deadlines, with time to spare sometimes, where as “Scape Goat” doesn’t. And as for “Whose to say people with flying cars wouldn’t try and run over people with their flying cars.” Well Matt heres an update for you on current events in the history since the invention automobiles, people already do that, with non-flying cars. Also Matt watch the movie “I-robot” sometime and tell me how you feel about robots being the police force after that. You just may change your mind.
The future I want is a future like the movie “Minority Report”. That future was awesome. (Not to mention a really awesome movie.) But I want the future to be like it is at the end of the movie, you know after pre-crime is no more. Because it would ruin my day if while I was brushing my teeth and a whole bunch of guys tear all through my house to arrest me for something I hadn’t done as of yet. But they still got flying cars, and flying cars are cool.
And about the only movie with robots with artificial intelligence that Iwouldn’t mind sharing a future with is “A.I.”. But that movie was terrible, but at least the robots don’t rise up and slay the enitre human race, or turn us into the world’s greatest battery. My rival, the jealous man that he is, cries out “Bicentinal Man” this I cannot argue, I love that movie, and he knew that, touche I say to you Mr. Goat.
Mr. President as you’re reading this, as I’m sure you are, (that would be a joke ladies and gentlemen I don’t actually believe the president of the United States of America is really reading this, he’d probably have to get someone to read it to him. That’s a good one, slap hands.) Get all of your government officials together, and tell them that their top priority is no longer the construction of our future destructions or unavoidable inslavers the robotic monsters, but instead the creation a flying car, to sell to home owners within the next following months to come. Because until we acheive the awesome power of weilding flying cars on our every day to day lives, we’re all just stuck in the past. Along with “Scape Goat”, isn’t that right Scape Goat, (does impression) “Yes that is right Andy you are so smart and handsome.” Thank You Scape Goat.
