True - form follows function. I expect this to be the design principle.

Even Androids won't always be human-like.

On that topic (and perhaps one to explore in this newsletter) , one mistake I see is the creation of personalities in Androids. Overly confident / effusive personalities are not someone we'd like to be around 24/7, like a gushing used car salesperson.

The optimal design is the 'shy' robot paradigm. The Android and you slowly get to know each other - likely avoiding each other until comfortable in the same space.

Starting from Curious/Civil then growing to Interested/engaged as interactions continue leading to comfortable then trusted, ascending to being close over time.

Thanks for reading & sharing your thoughts - neat take on stuff. Love the concept of shyness here :). Basically - teaching them to be more human in how and when they show up with a personality.
