DG i love you for the fact that the title to this was in Binary.

Even though i am not a robot, will you fall in love with me and marry me?

I think David Levy read Chobits one too many times

I can think of tons of books, movies and tv show episodes that have already explained why this is a bad idea with Futurama as the only exception only because Futurama is hilarious

And what about that documentary/public service announcement that was made by those two brothers with a time machine? Where they documented the AI uprising and its war to wipe out human existence. I can't remember what it was called but these "scientists" have obviously either not seen it or have become mad with power... Science Power.

Why is Al Gore on this Global Warming kick? The way I see it he should be exposing and fighting these AI supporters.

What is this world coming to?

i'm all for this. many a time have i ranted at length to my friends about how and why Winona Ryder is hotter in Alien 4.

the title reminds me of the latest episode of the office.

i see the world going the way of robot human love. It just seems easier than actually trying to meet and woo someone. it kinda reminds me of "six" from the now defunct animated sci-fi series "Tripping the Rift" I wonder what kind of rights these "lovebots" will have. and what they can and cannot do. I mean you wouldn't want them playing sports with you and your soft fleshy skin.

I can't wait to hear the government argue about robot marriage.
...
"Uh... I guess yall c'n marry robots... Waitwaitwait... is it a dude marryin' a dude robot? Oh, uh-uh. That's just fucked up."

Wait, so you mean this could make being a programmer a worthwhile skill set?
Of course, programming your own lovebot might screw up the Turing test.

mmmm I want to be able to marry Number 6 from bsg...geek fantasy incoming!

Awesome.

Well, I was thinking of Boomer myself...



I mean if they make robots that look like this what man isn't going to want one?

In all seriousness though: I think the great disadvantage to a "robot companion" would be the fact that you are still human. This will mean that you will have many different experiences that a robot, no matter how well programmed they are, will never be able to truly relate to. A childhood. School. and of course the most important experience of all: growing old.

I personally would like to grow old with somebody. Not just wither away in the company of machines.

I don't want to marry a robot, but I would like to run towards one in a field. In slow motion. With Tchaikovsky's "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet" playing.

My question is this... what happens when our technology starts fucking us?

Aw, I thought this was going to be a topic about a Clutch song. Oh well.

Hell yeah, bring that ba donk a donk butt over here sexy.

I clicked the link to the honey doll thing.... oh dear god. creepy. slightly amusing. but creepy.
also how is it "love" if they don't have a choice. I wouldn't be able to with something that only cared for me cos it was programmed to.
people are weird.
I do nay understand.

But then you get into the philosophical debate about "what is free will".

You do what, binary person?

...Right. I don't know how you could ever even imagine finding "Massachusetts" and "Technology" in the same phrase...
because certainly nothing of importance ever came out of Massachusetts as far as technology is concerned...
In particular, I'm certain that nothing even vaguely related to the topic at hand could have sprung from there...

In hopes I'm right does the binary code up top say "I do"

so how long before we vote one in for president, Oh wait they're made in China.

Marry me?

I know Soong-Type Androids are fully functional and anatomically correct, but that doesn't mean you have to use all those... features!

Edited to add: The future is now!
