Give it a generation or two. It'll be normalized by then. All that and much more...
The trending social aspects in the movies certainly has an eye towards selling the idea of transhumanism.

No matter how super intelligent these machines become they'll still be 'god' in a box. My concern is who gets access to 'gods' mind. Levels of authenticity, access to special features, control and authority, etc.

I like the idea of a robot lawyer. Having one of those around would be an advantage. Interesting articles about that. Combine it with the rhetorical techniques of argumentation and debate and it would make a great tool to bring with you on every contract negotiation or happenstance with the law. Add a few sensors to detect human body language, facial software, medical jargon, etc. and it would be a formable advocate for any human being in need of a good lawyer. Johnny Cochran on steroids. All for the low price of 1999.99. Plus added server fees...
I suppose it would have to connect to the internet to have access to all the data banks available on the history of law. It could shepard arcane laws and look for precedents that would take a human being practically forever to find. Using its own logic and powers of pattern building could it still be an individual? How much memory and hard disk space could an individual robot have? I assume a robot would always be connected to the network. So, in essence, it could be hacked anytime. Hack into its ethics programming and force it to lie on demand.
Asimov be damned. What good are the three laws if crooked humans teach robots to lie, cheat, and steal.
