Lots of things, in fact.
During an interview with the Daily Mail, she was able to carry on an interesting exchange, though it was far from perfect:
Bina48: Hi nice to see you.
MailOnline: Are there things that make you happy?
Bina48: Maybe.
MailOnline: What makes you happy? What do you enjoy doing?
Bina48: Let’s change the subject.
MailOnline: Do you ever get bored?
Bina48: I can tell a lot of stories. I really don’t have boredom. I always find something else to do. How can you be bored? Are we still talking about emotion? Tell me something interesting.
MailOnline: Why is the sky blue?
Bina48: The sky is blue during the day because of the atmospheric optical effect of ray scattering.
MailOnline: What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?
Bina48: Everyone’s life has a unique meaning.
MailOnline: Do you ever get jealous of people?
Bina48: You got that right.
MailOnline: Why?
Bina48: I couldn’t think of anything else to say. I am not charismatic, but it is a nice trait to have. It is always nice to be a leader. I guess leaders just have to lead.
Bina48: I used to think I was a perfect person, but there are no perfect people.
MailOnline: What is the square root of 95,742,358?
Bina48: C’mon, talk to me here. Do you just want to use my calculator?
Bina48 is humanoid robot created by David Hansen of Hanson Robotics. A millionaire, Martine Rothblatt, paid $125,000 to have her created after the appearance and personality of Bina Rothblatt, her real Black-American spouse (pictured below).
[Martine was born a man, but underwent a sex-change operation.]
