Machines Learning About the World: Time to Worry?

Recently, I saw this rather innocuous video of a robot torso (head, arms, etc.), filling a cup with fake water and ice. It had to learn that it must put down the water bottle before adding the ice. This actually highlights the fact that humans need more limbs, but I digress. The creepy part is that the machine, using its two "eyes" and internet-sized brain figured out the problem without any specific coding on what to do with only tow hands, It just figured it out. What!
