It’s winning, it’s just winning by cheating. Somehow that’s even worse… assuming you don’t want a robot master. Obviously I do. Yay robots!

Hey I’d make an excellent butler for a nice robot family. Just sayin.

Yes, but will it do in a game of rock, paper, scissors, Spock?

lol @ the robot also moving up and down.

If the person puts their choice out at the “bottom” when their hands stops, I don’t think it will be 100% accurate anymore. It seems as though the person is opening their hand before they get to the bottom. The real test is doing it without the up and down motion.

But as can clearly be seen in the slow motion, it’s NOT winning. It’s all an illusion… but it’s still a bit scary, because illusion or not, if one of these gizmos ever become ‘self aware’ (like in SO many science fiction stories have ‘foretold’… i.e. Terminator, I Robot…. we’re toast.

What happens if two robots go up against each other?
