We’ve seen similar demonstrations using dance. These companies realize that the social and legal hurdles to the adoption of technology can be as formidable as some of the engineering challenges they face. It will be many years before Partner Robots are ready to serve as laborers in the real world, but Toyota is smart to start preparing us for that future now. Once they get us to trust a robot to serenade us to sleep, we’ll probably be open to letting it do much much more.

Unfortunately, it's been deleted. Long story. My premise was a teen boy had a bot for a girlfriend. The parents had mixed reactions about it. The closing argument was "get used to the idea that your kid either has a robot for a girlfriend, or one hell of an expensive masturbator". A year or so back, I did a blog post about this topic.

Wolfram Alpha, though often esoteric, is a powerful tool. Other programs, like the highly addictive Wolfram Tones, are fun to play with and are very useful in their particular fields. As Stephen Wolfram continues to explore computation, many more such applications may arise. I’m certainly interested to see how Wolfram Alpha’s democratized approach to programming (through use of ordinary language) generates new innovations. Who knows, maybe someone will find a way to program robots to love. [...] [...] For now, I’m rather happy with the by products of Wolfram’s pursuit of a computational theory of everything.
