You're missing my point (which I suppose I really didn't make, so my bad). A child raise by machines is likely to be one seriously emotionally messed up child.

- ForHackernews 13y agoOh, yeah, probably. Still, there wouldn't be any frame of reference. Maybe the first generation of kids would all be weird and emotionally unstable by our standards, but they're be "normal" for Alpha Centaurians (or whatever)
- icambron 13y agoWell, all kids are raised by machines, just usually machines called Mom and Dad. The question is whether the machines we could make to replace us as parents are better or worse. It's hard for us now to imagine artificial machines being better at it than we are, but, you know, so is relativistic spaceflight.
