WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH A ROBOTIC FLAMETHROWER DOG?

Dear science … STOP IT! Recently we’ve had more realistic looking robots – at least body shape wise and AI that can mimic just about anything including taking a picture and making it come to life and appear to be singing. Now it seems we need to up the stakes on getting Skynet (that’s the bad computer from the Terminator franchise) by not only having a robot “dog” but we have also weaponized it with a FLAME THROWER! There’s not even a practical application for this other than to destroy something. OK, maybe it could be used in a controlled burn to help suppress a wildfire. Other than that, it seems like an agent of death. THEY EVEN CALL IT THE THERMONATOR!
