He said that he also has relatives and friends who are no longer here. He also misses them and hopes to spend more time with them. But the reality is that machines don't have souls. He said that as a human being, There is something special about it.

"I don't want to live in a future in a society where I'd rather interact with robots than people. I think that's not the future we want to live in," he said. (over)
