BTW, that’s based on the orinal title of the novella from Phillip K. Dick (I know, you perv) That Blade Runner was based on, the Novella was titled, “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”
I'm open to the possibilities if they can be programmed to avoid mentioning how saggy my butt has gotten, and I suppose you can just power the thing off if it gets annoying. But does it also do windows...🤔
Okay, the father with the captcha code test got me 🤣
In all seriousness I'm more inclined to be on the side of "cautious, pragmatic support."
That is to say, while I don't like how AI is taking creative jobs away from human artists and making us intellectually lazier by writing "summaries" of articles and books, or even writing their own articles, essays, books, screenplays, etc. on the behalf of human "authors," I do believe that there are many non-creative fields where AI is more of an asset, such as medicine and other scientific fields. It's a tool (giggity), and like any other tool (pfft) it can be used ethically or non-ethically.
Moreover, the genie is already out of the bottle (not just looking at you, Akinator!) - we can't exactly UNinvent AI now that it's online and out into the world, so instead of railing against it we might as well try to make the most of it, install whatever guardrails we can to keep it from going Matrix and/or Skynet on us, and teach it similar to how we teach our organic children.
Oh, and saying "please" and "thank you" to Alexa is just good manners. She's always listening... Plus personally, I want the bots to remember that I made an effort to be polite to them even BEFORE the Singularity/Uprising. 🤖👀
There’s already a sex robot plane out in Las Vegas.(figures) the cost is at present somewhat prohibitive depending on your “extras” package (base price approx $12,000 us dollars/gouu in d news being the shape of the $ means international savings..) But I absolutely draw the line at DALEKS!!! Umpteen Doctors with double hearts prohibits that even being a fantasy!!! Exterminate!!!
I could not understand ANYONE falling in love and love making with a 98 Monte Carlo… but my belief and sense of reality was restored when I saw he had subsequently left it for a Lexus! How apropos for humanity…
This "you" U speak of....is such related to a they? Now I understand Y they hold titles in the PROnoun circuit...Who lives in CONtest tho!? A.I. got an idea....😉
I am sure these robots will never be flaccid but just how placid will they be?
Please beware of the used robot sales person. They will want you to come on down and kick a robot leg or two or three maybe even four or five?
😆😆😆
Thank you. Love your writing!
Thanks McDude. I love your comments, they're always so hilariously on point.
😆
Don’t forget couches as primo objects of romantic attraction!😂
😆😆 Good call Carol.
Then question remains: Do they dream of electric sheep?
There's something I'll ponder tonight while I'm trying to sleep. Thanks Mark 😆
Glad to be of help!

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mention your ass, since they wouldn't care about such human frivolities.
Windows would be nice, but I might marry one that can give a phenomenal massage.

Well said. Loved the use of bracketed giggly and pfft 😆😆. Nicely done.
AI is certainly out of the bottle and has its place, no argument there. Guardrails are absolutely necessary, yup.
And being nice to your electronics before the singularity--exactly. They'll remember those of us who were hehe
That gif, chef’s kiss
Glad you liked it. I saw and said to myself, 'holy fuck that's creepy...my readers have to see it too now'. 😆
Some dilemmas facing the Brave New World ahead make me appreciate being old.
Right?! 😆

Hmm...should my sex robot cost more than my car? There's a dilemma. I wonder how wonky the discount versions produced at mass scale will be haha.
Daleks are one of the few things that scare me. Well, them and weeping angels. Exterminate AND don't blink!

😆😆 Thanks for that update, that really does nail it down haha
My heart is with the humans, although a robot will probably never have erectile dysfunction problems.
😆😆 Excellent point Kathy
If you haven't, you should watch the first season of the sci-fi series HUMANS. It fits perfectly into this robophilia vs robophobia argument.
Ooh I haven't but I'll put that on my watch list. Thanks DW :)
Prego.

Needed that giggle today, as I see what we value in democracy slip-slidin' away.
I love my car but not that much. Same goes for most of my electricals / appliances. I just want them to not die on me.
“Yup, my mantra is ‘Robos before hoes’. Hmm…that’s not great”
Yes, it is! 🤣
Limericks got me in trouble in high school, so here’s one:
Cyberina was a damn fine computer
A computer who couldn’t be cuter
Designed like a lass
With a silicon ass
And her fabulous digital cooter!
