This is how it starts, people.
First we get our chatbots to sound and act realistic
and then we get them to convince everyone they're actually human.
Listen to this crazy conversation
between Time's Michael Scherer and a telemarketing robot
who refuses to admit her true artificial nature.

Madiba
"In a way I had never quite comprehended before,
I realized the role I could play in court
and the possibilities before me as a defendant.
I was the symbol of justice in the court of the oppressor,
the representative of the great ideals of freedom, fairness
and democracy in a society that dishonoured those virtues.
I realized then and there that I could carry on
the fight even in the fortress of the enemy."

under the skin
The film was shot on location in Glasgow and the Scottish Highlands.
Scarlett Johansson plays an alien predator. She wears a black wig and is not immediately recognizable as she cruises through Glasgow and the surrounding countryside picking up hitchhikers in a van equipped with hidden video cameras. Like candid camera, their reactions are real and authentic. Their stories offer a glimpse of society from the point of view of the ultimate outsider.
Adapted from the book by Michel Faber
