Did they try this same test with adults? When robots start asking me to move, I'm going to get abusive, too. Probably far more abusive than the children. I may even hunt down the builder and get verbally abusive with him, as well.

That was interesting. But nothing surprising. I agree with the comment that the children are doing what children do in new situations: testing the boundaries. And I also agree that humans form packs, not herds.

As for the person berating the scientists for the unethical experiment.... they may have a point, maybe, but being that manic about it is not going to help.

So when a robot politely says 'excuse me', you will abuse it. Wow. Do you do that when humans politely say 'excuse me'?

Says a lot about you.


BTW, do you live in Philadelphia?

Nope, this got off to a bad start and it was a bad idea to begin with, so, nope.

OP, if you want to try this in P&CE, it might be a better fit there anyway.
