Close to reality?! You're kidding me right?

Exhibit A - The recent DARPA contest showing state of the art rescue bots.

Let me guess blindfolded: This article is showing Hiroshi Ishiguro's clone robot and Hanson Robotics's works of interactive art, bolted to a chair, with speech recognition hooked up to Cleverbot. I think some footage of Madame Tussauds should be added because that's about how far we are: Cosmetics.

Yes, agreed!
I would like to see that guy who coined the worn-out phrase "uncanny valley" stumble blindly into one!

Will the media hype ever cease?! Apparently not. I saw a newspaper from the early 1800's and they (media and salesmen) were hyping all sorts of scary things to an otherwise unknowing public! (they had no Internet or Google with which to verify things).
