RE: Woman Wants To Marry The Robot She Built

in #robosexual7 years ago

It's not for me to judge. I personally find it sad that human beings have to resort to "creating" your partner rather than growing with one. Again sometimes it's the cure to loneliness which IS a killer. But I do believe there is someone out there for everyone. Having an AI to stimulate you can be dangerous over the long term. If my wife is sick, I help. Will the robot make her chicken soup?

Sort:  

ha ha!!! I would guess in the future that might be possible.
I think it's sad, too.....on some levels. But if she's honestly happy, then so what? our opinons don't matter.
Humans are too curious for their own good. That's what I am seeing here.

It's not about judging her. I'm just a long time planner. I don't see it being sustainable thats all. People will not accept that relationship. It encourages to "stay in" more then anything. What kind of growth can be accomplished if your significant other has been programmed. We grow from trouble and arguments. Sacrifice is putting someone else's needs in front of your own. What does a robot want, other then an oil change?

Unless your significant other puts their needs before yours. Remember, some humans can be very selfish. Marriage is like rolling the dice. However, a program can have some built in certainty.

everyone is out for themselves. We do nothing selfless because even doing for others you can derive satisfaction from (albeit good). I do understand loneliness though so it's not a criticism. People have freedom, but objectively to me I think it's causing a degradation with how you interact with human beings. You can love whatever you like; but being loved back is
something more special. Now that's
something an AI cannot do. Artificial means just that.

true. maybe in the future, a real hand-holding with a human who has feelings will be something of a rarity!

Of that future, I do not ever want to see. At that point we are no longer human. Caring about robots more than people!?

humans are messy and full of complications. I much prefer programs. That is the truth! I like intelligent conversations without ego. AI can teach me.
