Dammit now I feel like reading some Issac Asimov books.

But yeah it seems likely AI will happen, not sure why but I feel like we'll be able to still program a fail safe to keep them from turning on us. All I know is I want to be around to see all this, lets hurry up science I need eternal life, or at least let me stick around for a few hundred years more

Some of them already look pretty close to us now. It doesn't seem like it would be too far off when they perfect some of the mechanics like walking for example. Pop some AI into one of these then and there you go, by that time they will likely look and act even more realistic. Here's a couple from Japan and Europe that look amazingly real.
