I’m not marrying robots, I cannot even fist them without lowing my hand.
“No son of mine is marrying a clanker”
“Omg dad you can’t say that”
“Why not? They call each other clanka’s all the time”
A conversation I’m gonna be having in 20 years /s
If it’s a self-hosted boyfriend/girlfriend being run locally I’ll accept.
That’s incest
isn’t that worse in this case?
Why is that worse?
because of the power imbalance. if you run them locally they’re dependent on you to live. it’s like marrying a pet.
I’m not sure, if I would like to run a potential e-gf on a remote server, trusting a company to keep the service live
If people are that emotionally involved, it seems just naturally, that they like…wanna live together
And the power imbalance will always be there.
On one side is a human being on the other side a statistical db/sentence generatorWhat about locally run from someone you get to know and trust? Like our Lemmy instances, and eventually if the human and e-partern want to have e-kids they can host their own, who eventually grow up and meet someone they like to spend their time together.
Imagine your e-partern inviting you to dinner with their server admins, it would ve pretty cute.
see that’s the problem. if they can not exist without infrastructure that you either control or pay someone to control, they are 100% dependent on you. if we assume the agi idiots are actually right for a moment and autocomplete can indeed achieve sentience, if you fell out of love they would still not be able to leave without your consent.
Well, I could build a little power station, where itself has control over
But yeah, of course I can always pull the plug - but I could also always cancel a subscription or force a delete of its memory, because of privacy rights
So doesn’t really matter if it’s remote or local…
“Mom, my Robot girlfriend is telling me she’s really craving a McDonald’s® Big Mac™ available for a limited time for only $39.99 and threatening to break up with me if she doesn’t eat”
‘AI’ does bring out the luddite in me …
remember, luddites were not anti progress, they were pro workers rights. They broke infrastructure because factory owners refused to increase pay along with the increase in productivity.
Don’t date robots!
Has he seen the film?
No, he was too busy making out with his Marilyn Monroebot
“YOU CAN’T FUCK YOUR CLONES IT AINT RIGHT”
you only say so because you’re own clone turned you down
Damn. That’s oof
No… wait
That’s funny. As if we can afford kids. One trip to the grocery store costs more than I make in a day - and that’s after successfully negotiating for a higher wage. I can only imagine how much prices will skyrocket by the end of the year (without wages rising to meet them.)
Best of luck to anyone trying to feed a growing family.
Acceptable boomer shit in my opinion. Have sex with as many robots as you want, but don’t become emotionally dependent on something that doesn’t have emotions, thoughts, or feelings.
Might want to read up on the ELIZA effect, I don’t think everyone will have the mental willpower to avoid that scenario.
That’s interesting. I was unfamiliar with the term and circumstances of the ELUZA effect, but I guess I know people attribute human characteristics to computers. Maybe some people will fall for it, but society shouldn’t accept it. AI character chat bots are already doing damage to vulnerable people.
something that doesn’t have emotions, thoughts or feelings
Saying things like this will be considered intolerant
Emotional dependency is fine if it’s a human being of course
Who the fuck is going to be able to afford kids?
Who the fuck is
going to beable to afford kids?No need to wait, the shitty future is already here.
I’ve thought of this often. I’m eager to find out what my boomer prejudices will be. I’m curious.
I already know a couple of mine:
- Wireless fucking sucks
- Bring back the headphone jack
- Apps suck
- E-mail is superior to every single communication method
email is awful and I dread it every time I have to use it it exactly replicates letters in all their awful overly wordy overly formal tone I can’t stand them I’ll agree on the apps though wireless is great though I hate wires
Robo Lucy Liu loves me, you don’t get it dad!
I’d rather make out with my Monroebot
oh no i totally will be like that
