N.Y Times podcasters Kevin Roose and Casey Newton have posted about an encounter with NEO, the mild-mannered robot who wants to help around the house.
Problem #1: NEO watches and records all, so don’t do anything in front of NEO that you might want to keep private. Problem #2: NEO is incorrigibly honest — he /she / it won’t lie for you — and is basically a snitch.
NEO will never be accepted by consumers unless he / she / it can be morally corrupted….unless he / she / it can be taught to lie. Nobody wants a goody-two-shoes robot messing things up.
