    I love MacGyver. I have the whole series plus the movies on DVD, and have started watching it again with my daughter recently. She’s 4, but will remember episodes she likes. I want the one with the eagles. I want the one with the store (Blow Out, from season 3. That was a tough one to figure out). She likes that he helps people and always wins. Sounds like a good role model to me.













  • If the definition of AI as Artificial Intelligence means the Intelligence is not real, i would say no. So, that rules out Asimov robots, and anything similar i see them similar to our real AI, just computers running through algorithms. But, if the definition of Artificial strictly means ‘not biological,’ I think it could be possible.

    So, Data from Star Trek. I feel as though he has real Intelligence, capable of independent thought. I could be friends with him. I’d let him babysit. He just doesn’t have emotions. And that is a quirk to him, Lore has them and is physically nearly identical. Also, Andrew from Bicentennial Man (an exception to the Asimovs). And I am pretty sure I could love David from A.I. as an actual child. I would definitely help Ava escape at the end of Ex Machina.

    Bishop from Aliens is a challenging one. I feel like he is basically an Asimov type robot, but he was very selfless in his sacrifice to save the humans. I kind of think I could let him babysit, as long as the kid does not know he is a robot. I don’t think it would be good for them socially. But I don’t think I could treat him like a friend.

    I would never let GLaDOS babysit.
