I feel, therefore I am by Paul Spooner

I feel, therefore I am. by Paul SpoonerMade in the robotics division of P. Spooner Stithians following their catastrophic failure to produce Artificial Intelligence. Having recorded dismal scores in innumerable Turing tests, it was decided that Artificial Emotion might be an easier target to aim at. Confidence is growing that, after some development, one of these machines will be able to slip unnoticed into any gathering of humans, test the emotional temperature and produce the appropriate response.

Technical notes: Built on the same chassis as the successful line of four-faced machines such as the Fairy Shopkeeper and the Frog Princess, this model benefits from innovative Dyno-Prod technology enabling it to initiate its own emotional response.
