Re: Cruelty to Robots

I remember watching this ages ago.

Weird isn't it, you just can't help but feel kind of sorry for the robot. You have to keep kicking yourself to remind you it's just a machine following it's programme.

It wouldn't surprise me tbh if something like I-Robot or Terminator actually came to pass at some point in the future.
Self learning cpu's have been in development for quite some time.

Would it feel sorry for you, but then again, a fair few Humanoids, would not either.

Re: Cruelty to Robots

The sooner they develop these 'partners' the better. I would be quite happy to share my life with a robot be it a humanoid or a petoid come to that - or both.

Nah,

Give me a human anyday.
It's emotions and feelings that makes us what we are..

You may have a loving robot, but it's just programmed to love you - it would all be false.

There should come a time when you can no longer see any difference. These robots are already supplying what people need to be happy, or happier, and are in use in various countries such as Japan.

That may be, but it's still false / an illusion - don't you think?

I must admit I was rather hoping the robot would turn round and thump him.
