From Grauniad of the UK
-Do you work here?
-Yes.
-Are you one of my humanoid robots?
-No, I'm one of your employees, Sir.
-Employees? Human employees, you mean? And please call me Charles. Charles Chester.
-Yes, my name is Jack Trip, Mr Chester.
-Right, Jack. You look and behave so much like a machine that, for a split second, I thought you were a Replicant V 6.50. Take this as a compliment, by the way.
-A compliment, Mr Chester?
-Yes, the Replicant V 6.50 is far more intelligent than the average employee here -- artificial intelligence, but intelligence all the same.
