Rishi the Robot needs a reboot

-

BOFFINS are worried artificial intelligen­ce will spell the end of humanity.

It wouldn’t surprise me – we’ve been pretty good at destroying the planet ourselves.

I can foresee a Charlton Heston-type character punching the ground next to a buried Statue of Liberty when he realises we’ve buggered it all up.

Forget the apes, it’ll be Planet Of The AIs. God Damn You All to hell!

One of the fears is that robots could go rogue and take over, much like in the plot of the Terminator.

Some experts say that’s far-fetched. But I’m thinking it’s already started – have you seen Rishi Sunak?

Never has there been a more obvious case of a robot pretending to be human than our PM. He walks like an android and answers questions like he was programmed by mission control.

When asked by Sky’s Beth Rigby this week how he felt about losing the local elections, he looked like he had a short circuit and roboticall­y started spewing out his “five priorities”.

Does not compute.

It doesn’t help that the opposition leader is the spitting image of the mechanoid from Red Dwarf.

We don’t need robots, we need RishAI and Kryten Starmer to start helping humans in this country. People are struggling. It was reported this week that there is a black market in baby formula because parents can’t afford it.

And 11million Brits are struggling to pay their bills.

But where is the help?

While people are struggling we have an idiotic former Tory member (see Get In The Bin) telling poor people it’s hard cheese they can’t afford a cheddar butty.

Other crackpots, including some from the serving Tory Government, were spewing bile about “It’s OK to be white” and that Hitler “mucked up” when they got together at this week’s Nat C, sorry National Conservati­sm, convention.

Ideologies are all well and good, but they don’t put food on the table of those who are desperate.

So come on RishAI. Let somebody turn you off and on again so you can reboot and start to sort out the mess this country is in.

Let’s pray the computer says YES!
