What trait/flaw/feature would you give our human successor

[Loppan Torkel]

If we assume we'll be overtaken and destroyed by superintelligent robots somewhere in the future, we can at least pride ourselves as the parents of this new entity.

What would you like humanity's legacy in these robots should be when they conquer other worlds?

 

[warpus]

The ability to breakdance while another robot throws down phat beats.

 

[Gori the Grey]

I wonder if we just gave them a drive for the preservation of themselves and their kind (however they choose to define that), whether we could count on them to kill one another off in droves.

The way we have!

 

[Perfection]

UniTol for massive production

 

[Borachio]

Chronic depression. And rust.

 

[bhavv]

Telepathy and telekinesis!

All human with the powers of Phoenix!

I messed up the title. It should be a human trait/flaw/feature. Something that would make the alien scientists scratch their heads.

 

[bhavv]

But super powers are more fun.

 

[Rashiminos]

Hedonism.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

A obsession to point out unrealism in movies.

 

[El_Machinae]

Some inexplicable trademark, since only one company won the Franchise Wars. They tow a ginormous asteroid or mini-moon over each planet they terraform and then slowly convert it into a giant can of Coke

 

[Lohrenswald]

Frequent and incorrect use of the term "ironic"

 

[Borachio]

An annoying inability to whistle and smile at the same time, coupled with an irresistible urge to do so.

Did you think of that yourself? It is brilliant.

 

[Borachio]

It's not entirely original.

Scout Law #8 has been known of a long time. From the amusingly titled "Scouting for Boys" 1908.

A SCOUT SMILES AND WHISTLES under all circumstances.

And it's something that all sorts of wits have tried to do.

I find it's possible to do so if you'll accept whistling through one's teeth while grinning inanely.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

It just struck me has the perfect annoying urge, when you do it in a taunting and non-stop manner with the unyielding face of a robot.

As a person who has been in scouts organisation, i'm sure you are taking this rule way too literally.

As for thread - self-reflection at all times. And ability to see the impact of one's actions.

You don't say?!

You're right, he wrote.
