Descartes has famously put ‘je pense, donc je suis’ [I think, therefore I am], laying the foundations for the Western philosophy based on knowledge and to prove that one’s own existence is based on the thinking ability.
“I make them produce, therefore I am”, a distorted version of Descartes’s famous quote, lays down the contemporary philosophy and production, to prove that contemporary existence of humanity can only be achieved through making robotics produce.
“Automated agents are now learning on their own, and significant knowledge is being created by machines with little or no human intervention.
Computers have read all available human- and machine-generated literature and multimedia material.
There is almost no human employment in production, agriculture, or transportation. Basic life needs are available for the vast majority of the human race. “
