Depends on how far we get with AI and language. But yes, assuming we get there I'd be down.
Keep in mind, voice recognition has been terrible and continues to be terrible. AI is still nothing close to the real deal and teaching a computer to speak naturally still seems quite far off. Really there are countless technical problems that we haven't even begun to solve. How do you teach an android emotion? How do you make it process fear? Excitement? How do you make it
care?
I don't think we'll see a decent android for at least another 30 years and even that's pretty optimistic.
Relevant article.
I think most likely the Android would base itself on a system very similar to that of Cleverbot where the system learns from conversations and adapts to the conversation from previous conversations it has had previously. That is the easy way to do it. The hard way to do it would obviously teach a machine English which would be extremely difficult so it is more than likely the first option.
Also I think 30 years is kind of an exaggeration. I think it would more realistically be 10-20 years. I mean if Back To The Future can make predictions into the Future I don't see why I can't.
