I'm not exactly a supporter of the slippery slope marriage theory but I'd kinda draw the line at marrying a robot.

You want to marry an AI? Well that's fine I guess. You'll have to be aware that as soon as you name it, though, it's going to take over everything and probably kill you. Or use you for science. Or start a nuclear war. Or try and end the end a master.

Whatever floats your boat. :D

Haha, that's hillarious.

Mine promised me some moist, delicious cake so I can't imagine there's anything bad going on there, though.

Yeah, I'd go for it. Sounds like you got one of the good ones.

In other news, in 2025 Marriage/Sex with Weighted Companion Cubes will be legalized.

Rule 34 knows no bounds...

Whether this is creepy or just the next step in human rights movements, I think, depends upon how much we advance AI within the next couple of years.

If we manage to make AIs which are indistinguishable from human intellect, complete with emotions and what have you, well then I can totally see this happening and just being a basic progression of humanities struggles with our own outmoded ethical codes--much like interracial or gay marriage.

If, however, we're just doing the 'program it to love you' thing, well that's just kinda fucked up. I mean, it takes something out of emotional involvement with another being if the only reason it loves you is because you told it that it had to love you.

Still, though, pretty awesome sex-toy.

but...isn;t the cake a lie?

Not if you redefine your definition of cake.
