Yes, I've always thought that Charlie Rose was creepy and robotic. Wait, did you mean that the robot was creepy? I thought that was actually pretty cool.

When they did the Jeopardy robot I wished they went the extra mile and added speech recognition (or visual recognition), and thus had an equivalent human interface. Going that extra mile would have been relatively easy, and paid big rewards in terms of coolness.

Now I'm thinking they could have used this thing as well. Hmmm, maybe it's time for a 2017 Jeopardy robot week

Reminds me of a classic joke:

Q: What's the difference between the Hindenburg and Rush Limbaugh?

A: One's a flaming Nazi gasbag, the other is a Zeppelin.

The creators site is something a little different, immortality is possible.

This upcoming episode will be a must watch for me, somewhere up there with the debates I guess.
