Which one do you think was a better car: Gen 2 or Gen 3 Prius?

LOL

 

That's precisely what keeps coming to mind for me. Have the Blu-Ray.

 

So why would any of us be necessary?

 

While I mostly agree... The innovation that will transform us the most via robots building robots will be the development of new materials we'll build stuff with, not actually what we're going to build. The nascent version of this currently is the use of AI to come up with new types of molecules that can be rapidly assembled. And I've no doubt that as our technology advances we'll eventually come full circle and realize that our DNA is the best systems to not just code and store data, but to define how living things can be grown to our exact specifications, which many have said is how most crashed UFOs appear to have been constructed.
