So who is going to get us first? Killer clowns, the animal kingdom, or the robot uprising?
Me? I think it’s going to be robots. Artificial intelligence is going to be the death of us all.
If, for some reason, you don’t think robots are becoming more and more human and lifelike, you should, because they are, and it’s creepy AF. And I am not talking about Alexa, Siri or robot vacuums. Though they too are a little spooky in their own ways.
