Why are we so scared of of Robots?

The first video is about babysitter robot


Robots are man made we humans only fix things in it they don't have their own emotions like human beings . the whole movie is about how the robot is connected with a human child and when mother replaces them he comes back to revenge like a human comes. We are afraid of such robots but in reality we humans make such invention to make our workload easy and we only get afraid of our own creation.

The second video is on the iMom - Mom robot.



Second Movie is imom. It's a very interesting movie to study for our question. This is a very interesting movie. The imom basically cooked grace, the second child who was an infant because the mother had earlier called her "my little chicken" and had previously given instructions to imom that she was to cook the chicken. The whole video revolves around the concept of corruption through replacing humans with artificial intelligence. This is very fascinating to see that we want to replace humans with robots. We are scared because of this kind of incident with robots.  

The third is on Satyajit Ray's short story 'Anukul' (1976) - directed by Sujoy 


The film is set in an
 undefined time in the future where human behavior towards robots are the present. The robots are taking up jobs from human beings and the world seems to be divided between those who support the new technology and those who don't .Nikunj Chaturvedi (played by Saurabh Shukla), a school teacher, supports the advanced technology and employs Anukul (Parambrata Chatterjee) as a house help. Nikunj's cousin Ratan (Kharaj Mukherjee), who lost his job to a robot, is against his brother's new employee and attacks him at the first opportunity. Nikunj, who helps Anukul understand the Bhagwat Gita, respects Anukul for helping him out with the daily chores even after he too loses his teaching job to a robot. In an unfortunate (or so it seems) Ratan dies after Anukul gives him an electric shock.
