If society decides robots should be demonstrating to young children what it is to be human, and teaching we are completely doomed. Revamp the structures in place and pay RECE's a living wage. Start at $25 an hr. You cannot replicate human connection, and playing with an infant's mind, having a robot interact with them for 6-8 hrs a day in daycare is a HORRIFYING thought.
