In the world of the “Electric Ant” by Phillip K. Dick, electric ants, or organic robots, appear to be commonplace in society as the hospital get few of them every week. The most human AI that I have seen this semester is Garson Poole. Mr. Poole is designs to be human manager of his creator’s company so he will possess the greatest human characteristics out of the other AI characters I have talk about before and after him despite being an electric ant. Beside Mr. Poole’s ability to control his reality with micro tape in his chest cavity and requiring an engineer to fix him if he is damaged, he appears to be no different any other human.

For peanut butter, it 's OK to have up to 30 insect pieces per 100 grams” (Raloff). Basically, there are insect particles in all of our processed foods.
