Humans should be able to marry robots
- Nadya 11y agoThey already can, but it won't be recognized by the government. Or most people. Is this close enough? [0] [0] http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/12/16/japan.virtual.wedding/ http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/12/16/japan.virtual.we...
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoI already spend more time on various computers than I do with my wife (not counting sleep). But no. Give me my wife. A robot can't replace her in any meaningful sense.
- SCAQTony 11y agoRobots should not be recognized as people. The chess problem comes to mind from the film Ex Machina. ( "... The chess problem, as Caleb puts it, isn’t about whether or not a chess computer is good at chess, but whether it knows what chess is.") http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/ex-machina-artificial-intelligence-ava/ http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/ex-machina-artificial-... The robot would not know what marriage is even if it could define the exact definition and origin of the concept. It would not know it was married or that it was getting married or why it should or should not be married. The key concept is that artificial intelligence is artificial, faked, an artifice to make you believe you are interacting with a sentient being when you are not. (How many people have thanked Siri?) When we believe that a box with a chip in it that we invented is better a decision maker than our very own selves, then we are in trouble.
