When we think of the Skynet scenario, videos of increasingly nimble anthropomorphic machines from Boston Dynamics awe, or terrify, us. Just a couple years ago these humanoids developed an ability to get up when we knocked them down. Then, they began parkour-ing with finesse around our man-made obstacles. Now, they’re elegantly out-performing most humans in gymnastics. It all portrays a deceiving story of the rapid evolution of intelligence in robots. But in reality, these robots are still far from possessing the intelligence to fold our laundry, let alone become our overlords.
