Marrage/sex with robots by 2050? - Page 3

you should really read the Ghost in the Shell mangas and think about the progression of artificiality in the near-not-so-distant future.

I think that eventually when artificiality is an everyday facet, the line will be so BLURRED between what is real and artificial that people just really won't care by 2050. Besides, a 'specially programmed' AI will fit the needs of someone as their spouse because humans are just not able to be programmed like that. Besides, building sexroids to save women/men [and children too] from prostitution is not a bad idea - supposing that it feels as real as the real thing and all it is used for IS sex. but that's just me thinking out loud.

But in Massacheusetts?! Meh...maybe pay-per-fuck will be legal in the future if it's with a sexroid.

Yes my dream of having sex with C3PO is almost fulfilled! I can't wait to make that stud a REAL android!

Saving them from prostitution or putting them out of work, eh? eh?!

I speak for those whom object to prostitution.

PERSONALLY, I think prostitution is a living and is a respectable profession - particularly the level of 'professionalism' it has in Japan's underworlds...

All this means is that in five years I'll be able to get laid.

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.

I'd be more ready to get a non-sex model more for companionship. And if there were any need to do some tweaking, well, I'm going into programming, so given a USB port or something, plus consent, I'd be able to make any modifications needed. Because I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to let them modify themselves without a DAMN good failsafe, which would pretty much defeat the point of emotions anyway. They might, however, be allowed to block incoming signals they feel might be harmful, or get the right to review the data before implementation for their own safety. And wireless would be a bad idea.

@ Zilla: I agree that would be a problem. Prostitution is the oldest profession for a reason, and people who end up doing it generally have no other choice.

It really makes me wonder about what the scientists are really trying to cook up with the robots they're designing.

Uh, dude, scientists are nerds. Do I need to explain this more or not?

Are you implying nerds don't get any? Because I know that that is wrong.

If gays can't marry why in the hell would robots ever get to marry anytime soon?

Now sex, on the other hand...people are already doing that with extremely Human looking dolls that have moving eyes/etc...
