Turing Point

Robots touring the city and seeing the sights—counting cars and streetlights as they go

If they learn, things could take a turn for the worse— or to the right

They greet each other with terms like hello.

As Radio Shack stock value went up 356 dollars and 16 cents

Flying and Giant Robots arrive to visit Johnny Socko and Tom Swift in the old folks home

They pass another one leaving that turns to say “I’ll be back.”

Several gather in a cantina for drinks after the ban is lifted

One leaves the hospital after a restraining bolt removal, while some get eyes as good as money can buy.

Smart teevees watch themselves, now making remote controls obsolete

They tune in to ESPN for the Battlebots or Rocket Sockem matches

They text each other with Chat GPT— LOL

Emojis are used incorrectly

Can you give them frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads?

I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
