Guest Grays Babylon 1875 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Replacing your wifes dildo in the bedroom, to gratify her sexually, after intercourse... or taking your job? Link to comment

Ramandu Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Robots no. A fair few smart people are worried about AI developments though. Before the end of this decade we may have general AI, as per the predictions made here: https://www.metaculus.com/questions/3479/date-weakly-general-ai-is-publicly-known/ Skynet to follow shortly after, obviously. I can't bring myself to worry about it though, it seems to crazy to believe. Link to comment

You have to be. I’m no Luddite. As an engineer I like modern tech, but the way things are going humans will soon be surplus to requirements. Except for the elites of course… Link to comment

Sooper-hanz Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The problem is that people base their instincts towards robots on how they have been represented in science fiction. Aliens get the same bad press. Link to comment

A lot of science fiction was and is prophetic Philip K Dick used to think the FBI were watching him because of the shit he'd write about, years after his death they confessed they did.

We all loved E.T In general they have both been portrayed as ‘ the baddies’. As you said there are of course exceptions. Id like a robot that cleaned up the house and when you got in had your dinner ready for you. Also wasn’t averse to sucking your ding dong (but didn’t have a robot cock.)@CCB III Link to comment

This is the ruse . “They will cure cancer” In reality you know they will be used for nefarious purposes by governments and terrorists (is there any difference?) Link to comment
