There is no doubt in mariner’s mind that in the near future there will be a bot to help you when you are finished taking a dump. Be pleased – it will run ads about toiletry products while it wipes you and will flush the toilet for you. Will it pull up your underwear? It may well prompt you to change from the brand you are wearing.

Already on the market is Claude Code and it is likely this will be a required enhancement the next time you buy a new computer. Claude is an administrative assistant who will take over management of your bills, banking, investments, your office filing system (No more will you have to struggle opening that heavy file drawer), the content of your daily meals and order the appropriate groceries for home delivery.

Service bots are popping up everywhere; there may be a utility bot that controls your thermostat according to budget and weather – an added fee to your utility bill. For gardeners there will be a rabbit-sized bot to do the weeding along with a SIRI-driven planting and harvesting calendar sensitive to local weather and keeps track of every plant.

Think about it; how long before there are bots that replace humans with bot-to-bot relationships? They will be needed because the only human behavior left is recliner-chair management. Welcome to Matrix. The next specie variation will be Homo bot.

Hold on a minute, my spouse is trying to tell me something. . . . hmmm…

Mariner suspects you already know that he has visited alter ego Amos.
