Japan’s uncannilyrealisticrobots have been creeping us out for years, though a single was deemed emotive enough to have the army on theatre — yesterday dusk, Hiroshi Ishiguro’s Geminoid-F made its entrance in a Japanese play. It’s a fairly small step for robotkind, unequivocally, as the android was completely tranquil by the real-life human singer from the soundproof room behind a stage, as well as no attempt was made to pass off the drudge as tellurian, as Geminoid portrays a caretaker android assigned to a failing girl. Still, a possibilities contingency have Hollywood agents agape — it’s usually the matter of time before the world’s top paid actors can literally phone in their lines.
