Ridiculously Human Robots |
| | Overused Sci-Fi Storylines (Website) / int_e4900915 |
comment |
There is no straightforward method for distinguishing humans from robots/androids that can pass for human. It is never thought to use metal/plastic detectors or employ electromagnetic field scanners (infrared/X-rays) to determine whether a person is a flesh and blood human or a synthetic. This frequently crops up in stories where android/robot impostors should be treated as a serious issue. |
