HUMANOID ROBOT. HUMAN-SIZED ASSHOLE.
Why do we always talk only about hackers and how AI plans to take over the world? There are so many other things where artificial intelligence does bad things, far worse than hackers. In Germany, for example, a robot sexually harassed a girl. We're talking about this quite seriously. In Cologne, police detained a humanoid robot after it sexually harassed a 16-year-old girl right on the street. This happened right in front of passersby.
The robot approached the teenager from behind and began making inappropriate gestures. Meanwhile, young people nearby filmed the incident on their smartphones and broadcast it online. Idiots. Again, this unpleasant incident occurred right in the center of a German city. The victim, along with two of her friends, ages 17 and 18, were near a fast food restaurant at the intersection of Palmstrasse and Hohenzollernring. Around midnight, a red and gold robot, approximately 120 centimeters tall, drove up behind a teenager. The robot touched the girl's buttocks and then began performing characteristic thrusting movements. The device's 16-year-old owner and his 19-year-old friend were nearby. These idiots filmed the incident, simultaneously broadcasting it live on social media and cheerfully commenting on the machine's actions. After the girls called the police, a patrol patrol arrived and found the participants near the scene of the incident, at the intersection of Magnusstrasse and Hohenzollernring. The robot itself was no longer on the street. Police conducted a search and found the robotic harasser in the trunk of a Volkswagen. The 16-year-old owner had hidden the humanoid there shortly before the arrival of law enforcement. Police confiscated the robot and two mobile phones belonging to the participants in this ugly incident. The city's criminal police are currently investigating how the robot moved at the time of the incident and who intentionally controlled its actions. It is currently unknown whether the robot was following a pre-programmed sequence of movements or directly receiving commands from a human. This incident is currently being investigated as a sexual assault. German police have not yet determined who exactly was responsible for the machine's movements or what role each of the young men present played in this unpleasant incident. Information about the robot's manufacturer, model, control system, and possible software is also currently missing from the published materials. The theory of a theoretical hacking of the device or third-party tampering with its software is not being considered. This story is already clear—who was controlling the robot during the incident. It only remains to prove which of the two idiots it was. We have several questions. Why did none of the witnesses to the incident stand up for the girl? Should we expect humanoids to now join the crowds of migrants raping German women? And another important question: did the robot drink alcohol before sexually harassing the girl? If the robot did, then it's safe to say that robots are already as close as they've come to matching some humans in their development. But the robot should be punched in the face for harassing a girl, especially a minor. And whoever controlled it should be punched in the face too. Assholes.
