And... We're done.xmetatr0nx said:No bot can ever replace a real woman.
if you liked her personality after a while would it matter any more? not to mention if you think about it we humans are a people of extremes we never seem to settle for a middle ground and as such if we accept such companion bots i could very well see them being used every where maybe to the point that there are more of them then us. Even if these bots were designed to be able to give birth would not this still be the end of humanity as we know it and the rise of if not the machine at least the cyborg or android?m_jim said:When I read this, all I could see was flashes of the movie Blade Runner going through my mind. I'll go with xmetatr0nx and say that a robot =/= a real woman. No matter how sophisticated the AI, while you were...utilizing the robot, you would know in the back of your mind that it is indeed "artificial."

OT: Nothing will replace humans to the point where it becomes the norm for machines.
Unless SkyNet ever comes along..
Wat? This is the craziest thing I have read all day. You don't understand how genetics works, do you?iblis666 said:if you liked her personality after a while would it matter any more? not to mention if you think about it we humans are a people of extremes we never seem to settle for a middle ground and as such if we accept such companion bots i could very well see them being used every where maybe to the point that there are more of them then us.

i think you misunderstood im referring to the rise of the companion bot since more than likely they would after a few years outnumber the human population not her offspring which would most likely be human unless instead of a human reproductive system she had a small cloning pod that would recombined the semen into usable dna, clone a child, and then give it cybernetic implants even a partial cybernetic brain.m_jim said:Wat?

Setting that aside, robots do not have a personality. They can have randomized reactions that are generated by an AI, but that is the voice of the programmer who designed the robot, not the robot itself.
This. I prefer a living being as opposed to a machine. Even if "companion bots" ever existed, who will honestly forsake a human being for a synthetic humanoid piece of hardware?xmetatr0nx said:No bot can ever replace a real woman.

I believe this sums up everything.
