This week will be something to stimulate the brain in the form of scientific theory/conspiracy.  I know a lot of people have seen the movie Ex Machina, and that is what has sparked my thought process for this post.  

In 2015, Google announced the existence of RankBrain.  According to Google, RankBrain's existence is to aid the search engine in allowing humans to get from "Point A" to "Point B" when they Google something.  Lots of times when humans Google something, they don't use correct English and just type in exactly what comes to their mind.  RankBrain is in existence to decipher these incorrect English phrases to help users find their desired answers.

Now for the crazy scientific conspiracy thought, if Google has the power to derive slang into correct English, then will there one day be Google robots working in everyday stores? Making sandwiches, taking your boxes from you at a UPS store, directing you to a food item in a grocery store?  Just some food for thought.
