I remember a twilight zone episode where a fella was stranded for a period on a planet with a robot machine companion. He fell in love with here and wanted to take her back when his crew returned for him. A crew member destroyed the robot machine. He was only allowed to take so many lbs on his return. This would have been about 1960..

I also know there are folks who would love to mix humans and artificial intelligence into a new species. I believe the word is Singularity. The drawback - It would take on a new image as it would not be in God's image or DNA and perhaps void of a conscience or soul. Great read, Thanks.
