I have serious issues with the anthropomorphisation of machines; i get they are modeled after the human body because it is a sensible way to interface with the outside world (mostly because it is already structured for us humans). I can also (somewhat reluctantly) understand that 'talking' like a human is a nice/simpel way for us human to interact with the machine.

But the thing does not need to emulate emotions, does not need to say 'euh' and whatnot while speaking, does not need a 'face' with emotional expressions, and sure as hell does not need a creator that suggest the thing could be your friend. 

People designing these things (not just robots, much of the AI stuff as well) with the notion that not able to differantiate between it and a real human is the holy grail/goal, because it smoothens out interactions, are very dangerous.
