Robots will have us for breakfast...

Clearly that robot doesn't work. Everyone knows that everything tastes like chicken.
 
Either way I guess we'll be better off if we can convince our future machine overlords that we make better pets than food. So I think we should add a fourth law of robotics:
No robot can allow a human being to be served with apple sauce.
 
Any AP journalist who can't tell ham from bacon deserves to be buchered by a robot which can't tell man from pig.

From the article.

When a reporter's hand was placed against the robot's taste sensor, it was identified as prosciutto. A cameraman was mistaken for bacon.

That looks like 2 seperate tests to me.
 
Combine that story with this one, and this one, and this one.

Someone really, really needs to get to work on perfecting artificial intelligence. What's the point of building all these machines with vaguely creepy traits and abilities if we still don't have the means to give them dangerously unpredictable autonomy?

Yes, my mistake. What can I say? I have been traumatize by the sight of an Englishman attempting to fry Parma ham for breakfast.
 
I heard somewhere that cannibals liked the taste of Spam as a substitute for human flesh, but I thought it was a myth. Maybe they were just too cheap to get prosciutto...
 
I think maybe the robot is onto something. In med school, we often practiced our suturing skills using pigs feet, due to the skin's similarities to that of people. While I haven't personally tasted human flesh, perhaps we're closer to bacon than one might think. :jaw-dropp
