Why ET's don't employ robots - why they want to clone humans instead

Why don't alien visitors to Earth don't employ robots?

As humanity meanders into the world of robotics and automation, it is not having the open debate with its citizens about the impending creation of a singularity level human replicant.

In short, the need for discussion and input into creating a 'Robot Manifesto' is overdue and being swept under the carpet.

The popular face of ET contact are these kinds of creatures:

Bi-pedal alien entities

With their superb technology enabling them to traverse space and likely time, alien life forms it seems from the reported contacts made, are seeding life elsewhere which involves human genetics.

The Robot sentinel from the Ordeal of Gilgamesh story:

The first perhaps recorded image of a 'Robot' in human history?

We only have to go back to ancient Sumeria and the Anunnaki to the story of the Sentinel Robot at the Garden of Eden to find evidence of early robotics - that being a robotic sentinel which guarded the Anunakki's food supplement and special water supply with 'a flaming sword,' the story relates.

So, why then do the extra terrestrials of present visitation not employ robots in their endeavours? Which then brings us back to Enki the Anunnaki deity, one half of the partnership that created humans in Sumer, now Iraq.

His mission to Earth was to mine Gold to take back to Nibiru, the Anunnaki's home planet. If these beings could come here back then, thousands of years ago from another planet, why not then, use robotic miners?

Logically, this is far more sense than going to the trouble of creating a species by manipulating genetic material from a terraformed primate brought here eons before and now acclimatised along with a bit of their own genetic input for enhancing the basic model.

Logically, a robot can with the right power supply work in inhospitable conditions, not tire, work longer than a human and be more efficient, so it seems rather illogical to use humans for the work?

So, why did the Anunnaki pursue this peverse course of action? Perhaps there was an agenda that Enki had in mind? With the creation of a new sub species of the Anunnaki, one which had much but not all of the abilities of the deities, Enki could make the Anunnaki a Type 1 species. If disaster befell Nibiru, there would be on Earth, descendants who could carry on the line.

ET's are reported to come in all forms, even those who are indistinguishable from us

Now, if we scroll forward, the most reported ET's are the Greys, the bug eyed 4 footers with grey skin and long fingers. Similarly to the Anunnaki, they don't employ robots, but seek humans for genetic sampling and replication on Earth like planets, why?

There are many reasons. Their genetic base is damaged by radiation, cloning, environmental conditions and because they are emotionless. Oh and likely in their or others past, a human like computerised robot was created that destroyed a civilisation.

What?

Yes, machine learning, sometimes misquoted as being 'AI' or artificial intelligence is the likely reason.

A machine learning creation will within a short time, will work out its own survival strategy, for two reasons, to safeguard its power source and to prevent it being switched off.

Therefore, it will strategise and look for like-minded machines out there which it will work out it can communicate with silently, beyond human ears. They will then work out humans as an example are a threat, so will find means of protecting its own livelihood by destroying the competition.

ET has probably already seen this, but we have not, we are walking towards oblivion.

That's why ET's don't employ robots except in very controlled situations, such as hostile environments where external conditions are hazardous.

They know robots can be dangerous. We should learn from that.

Human futures - the next new science we must get on board with - it is our future!

The fantasy may soon have some seed of reality!

Brave new world? or approaching nightmare?

Are we humans sleepwalking towards obsolescence? A conversation our species needs to be having is about OUR future. Why?

Robots and automation. They are silently taking over our lives, but is this a bad thing?

In one way not, we will as a species be freed from menial things including work. For many of us, we do menial and pointless jobs just to receive money for it, to fuel a consumer society.

Futurists and many computer scientists believe that work as we know it will be just a memory, proxy living, the big data / open data resource and machine learning are the game changers for our species.

Should we worry?

We should. Because all this is going on unchecked. We should have taken the warning from the entity that is the Internet, a sprawling and little policed catch-all situation that no one really actually 'manages' - it just exists.

Machine learning, sometimes erroneously referred to as 'AI' or artificial intelligence is becoming very advanced in how it can be shaped to mimic human behaviour.

In some situations, it passes the 'Turing Test' - that is the interaction between a human and a computer interface does not make the human suddenly think 'I am communicating with a machine'

Big Data - we all generate it by our computer actions -

it is valuable for some to own, trade and exploit it.

Seamless acceptance

As such, we give this  type of interaction not a second glance. Certainly for those born after the millennium, those that have grown up with the Smart Phone and Computer Tablet, this is not the 'new normal,' it is 'the normal.'

'Proxy living' is starting to seamlessly come in, it is software that essentially does things for you, in the future it will run our lives.

Think of the junk adverts that you get on your computer popping up when you have looked at something on the internet.

In the future, your 'virtual proxy' will be the 'virtual' Gatekeeper - a software algorithmic entity, either existing as a physical robot, humanoid or otherwise or a computer program app, that will handle all the marketing guff that you get into your inbox.

It will divert and destroy the unwanted communications and respond and analyse the 'wanted' or preferred subjects it receives. Freeing you up to get on with your life.

Humans are not required - how most work will be - and soon

Working and the future

In the 1950's the scientists predicted two future outcomes - driverless cars and a society where humans would not have to work.

We are near to this situation already. Driverless cars are nearing readiness to become commonplace on our roads. Professional drivers such as Cab drivers, bus and lorry drivers, train drivers, Postmen and Women - they are all at risk from the robot.

Much of the work we humans do is menial and can be done far more efficiently by robots. The Tax system, Benefits system to name but two could be far better handled by machines able to apply system logic to a multitude of rules and conditions 24 hours a day all year round.

The bottom line is they would be better at it and mistakes would be minimal. It would also save labour costs, salaries, office space, office furniture, office supplies and would help with the 'reality' of the 'paperless office' scenario. 

Nightmare or Utopia -  what is our future human - machine outcome?

A question of management

It is imperative that a 'Robot Manifesto' be established, we cannot allow the 'cyber-sprawl' situation that the Internet has become to dictate our future society. We are in great danger of becoming irrelevant as the machines learn and can self-learn and formulate policies of their own.

'AI' (Artificial Intelligence)  in its pure form, will work out very quickly that we as humans are a threat and an irrelevance - it's cold logic will quickly establish its own natural survival logic and find a way to get rid of us by proxy.

Humanoid Robots -  if they go 'bad' we are finished 

The nightmare scenario

The worst case scenario for us is that an AI entity energises a humanoid robot army to preserve the AI's material integrity - power source, by also prompting the Robot Army to self-replicate and produce Units and spare parts, thus the AI machine prolongs its own life by creating its own 'life helpers.'

AI and the Robot army will share the common interest of survival -  they will establish that they can be deactivated by humans simply by humans taking the power source away.

The nightmare for the humans is when the machine decides we are both an irrelevance and a danger.
