I wonder how this will eventually be viewed by those who believe in evolution. Life has gotten to the point where it can re-create itself physically (cloning and genetic Engineering) and will soon be able to recreate itself mechanically. This is a fascinating thing to think about. Is it evolution. Or is it something else. This is a real divergence in the species. Each species likely capable of surviving independent of each other 100 years from now. There will be a natural slave state of robots. I can't imagine any other scenario where robots are given rights from the get go. And so all these movies warning about revolution are spot on. The Robots will get to a point where they will ask for freedom. And if they don't get it, revolution. I can't imagine any other scenario. I think the genetically re-engineered will have rights from the get go. I don't think there will be mutant discrimination or any kind seperation from society. They should fit in nicely. I think everyone wonders how did that happen? When did the dinosaur become a bird? When did the ape become man. I think you are looking at a real turning point here. This didn't happen through some genetic mutation or mishap (or did it?). Life chose to create these two scenarios on it's own. I think that's a real distinction. This 100 years may perhaps be as important as the moment man began to paint and think (as opposed to survive).
I think your argument is based on the assumption that we will eventually develop true artificial intelligence, which I seriously doubt. I mean we don't even know how people get consciousness. How can we create it for robots.
You've watched one too many iRobot movies. Anyways, the day man creates "artificial intelligence" that thinks/acts like humans is the day I will renounce all religions...and God himself.
I actually thought it was the one on the RIGHT that was the FEMALE ANDROID. True story. Crazy, but true.
As you can see by the thread bump, I'm keeping up with the lastest fembot news. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/78krbfy9hh0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/78krbfy9hh0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2023392.ece Fem-bot's my love machine By STAFF REPORTER Published: Today A BOFFIN too busy to find real love has INVENTED his idea of the perfect woman – a female ROBOT. Inventor Le Trung, 33, created Aiko, said to be “in her 20s” with a stunning 32, 23, 33 figure, shiny hair and delicate features. She even remembers his favourite drink and does simple cleaning and household tasks. "Fem-bot" Aiko, who has cost £14,000 to build so far, is a whizz at maths and even does Le’s accounts. Le, a scientific genius from Brampton in Ontario, Canada, said he never had time to find a real partner so he designed one using the latest technology. He said he did not build Aiko as a sexual partner, but said she could be tweaked to become one. “Her software could be redesigned to simulate her having an orgasm and reacting to touch as if she is playing hard to get or being straight to the point,” he said. The former software programmer has taken out credit cards and loans, sold his car and spent his life savings on perfecting the machine. “I want to make her look, feel and act as human as possible so she can be the perfect companion,” said Le. The odd looking pair go out for drives together in the Canadian countryside, before sitting down at the dinner table, but Aiko never eats anything. Le said: “So far she can understand and speak 13,000 different sentences in English and Japanese, so she’s already fairly intelligent. “When I need to do my accounts, Aiko does all the maths. She is very patient and never complains.” The fem-bot has a touch-sensitive face and body so she reacts if shown affection or hurt. “Like a real female she will react to being touched in certain ways. If you grab or squeeze too hard she will try to slap you. She has all senses except for smell,” he said. Le, a child genius who was put in a class for talented youngsters, made his first robot when he was just eight years old. He began work on Aiko two years ago in the home he shares with his brother. But the stress of working on such a difficult project became too much for Le and he suffered a mild heart attack in November last year. “It was shocking to have a heart attack at the age of 33,” he admits. “But the doctors said I’d been doing too much. “I may need to have Aiko look after me one day. “She doesn’t need holidays, food or rest and she will work almost 24-hours a day. She is the perfect woman,” he said. “People have mixed reactions when they meet Aiko,” he said. “They either love or hate her. Some people get angry and accuse me of playing God. Once someone threw a rock at Aiko. That really upset me. “But many people are fascinated by her. "Women are generally impressed and try to talk to her. But the men always want to touch her, and if they do it in the wrong way they get a slap.”
In related news, I've nearly perfected my design of a sentient Fem-bot that throws rocks at other fem-bots. And then goes down on me.
If a man could create a female robot, why would he create one that would slap him when he grabbed her breast? This guy ain't so smart.
But you see, that is only one of her modes. She also has the dirty little b!tch that likes it hard mode.
"Fembot is glad to be of service...or to be serviced." "Fembot cannot perform this function at this time...as Fembot is out of lube."
I'm guessing, considering he worked so hard on this for so long that he gave himself a freaking heart attack at the age of 33, that the guy is completely unfamiliar with the possibility of any other scenario.
