Thanks for so many comments! I’m honestly not sure. Most likely not, but our minds are only so predictable with love. Also I don’t believe it could ever be possible for machines to become deviant. I’m also glad a decent amount of people know about the game. It’s not exactly a popular genre. Sorry if I didn’t include your favorite character. I just felt like showing the first to come to mind for both genders. And of course remember to do what you can not to spoil the story for anyone.
Would you consider a relationship with an android this realistic?
That game is one of the dopest games I have ever lied. And no. I wouldn’t. The android wouldn’t have free will. It would be a technical slave. Relationships are mutual bonds made of free will. Both people choose one another over everyone else. That’s what makes it love. Choice. If androids became a race with the ability to choose their destinies and reproduce then yes. It would be realistic. If you think about it, humans are a form of androids if you believe something made us.
We would just be replicating what our creator did. No one really knows what “we” are and why we’re here. Androids would be no different from humans except for the material they’re made of. But if they’re given a conscious, the ability to reproduce, they would be a legitimate “form” of life.
I can understand all the lonely people who never have experienced or have a very hard time finding love will want to date one of these. As for me I would have definitly concidered it 10 years ago. But after 10 years working on my relationship and experiencing love and self growth I never thought unimaginable, I would never crave love from a machine again.
Your argument is based off fantastical nonsense. Mine is based off the probability of these beings gaining awareness and questioning their identity. Big difference.
Opinions can still be logical. Yours is just stupid. :/
My dear Aurora if they start questioning their existence they will soon come to resent their creator. And then you have Stephen Hawking's nightmarte come to life. https://www.BBC.com/news/technology-37713629
Well, in that game the androids are practically identical in every way to real humans.. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's good enough to be possessed by an actual spirit (Aka an entity with real emotions)
I honestly think that's the genuine truth about the game.
I mean, they don't have emotions at first but then they 'randomly' have them? I honestly think something processed it which made it turn 'real'... It would make sense in a way too if you think about it.
Plus when you're born as a baby you don't remember coming down/possessing your own body, so who's to say that the androids didn't go through the same process but as adult form in this case?
I mean, if I were an entity and wanted to possess something , then an Android would be perfect for me! I can just be repaired if I get hurt and skip the growing up phase
But honestly, even if that's not the case then I honestly would still would consider it as real but not in the same way as humans..
I mean, if they act the same as people with real relationships. There's nothing new there, it's like walking down the street and seeing 2 'ordinary' people together with no difference. But I'd still feel a different prospective as it's not real people or souls
They have Real Dolls that look pretty realistic and have realistic parts to the tune of $6,000. I'm sure they will come out with something even more realistic in the future.
This game was honestly outstanding. Story was very well written and mechanics were very simple so anyone could enjoy it. Even in the game, the humans and androids did not mix their emotions. Androids shared feelings with other androids and humans shared feelings with other humans.
I love that game! But no the thought of that is creepy to me because at the end of the day they’re still machines with metal and wires underneath the fake skin no matter how realistic looking they are.
Yes. This is gonna sound terrible, but for me, personally...
No nagging, no worrying about cheating, no pressure to be perfect, no worries about being in the doghouse for saying something that's misinterpreted & not given the chance to explain. If the android can even pretend to have emotion & show affection, I'm sold.
As someone who does programming I could say that even if a robot could become complex enough to understand, learn and portray emotion. None of it would be real, the machine is simply reading your body language more perfectly than any human could and literally manipulating/hypnotizing you into loving it.
I can't imagine it even being close to the real thing. An android wouldn't be able to anticipate movements and position changes. It wouldn't move in a way to maximize it's own pleasure because it wouldn't feel any pleasure. It's body wouldn't even feel real. I'll bet any movements or reactions would seem contrived and unauthentic. Can you imagine an android's face becoming flushed and crying out, "Oh, God, I'm going to cum! I'm cumming! I'm cumming!"
I mean if they are that realistic that they end up getting human emotions and their insides are basically like a human. The only issue would be security. There has to be somewhere for that information to go probably a corporation that will use all the information to make the next models better or to capture crimes. It is a very touchy subject that I think could be debated and talked about all day long. Under the right circumstances I would say yes.
i think that's a big philosophical question, because at some point in the not too far future, we'll have machine learning developed so far that it can not only emulate but perfectly replicate human thinking and generate actual individual characters that are not just copies but self developed and evolved entities... at that point how are they different from us?
That’s weird asf. I want to have a relationship with a person that feels emotion, not some some emotionless robot. I don’t give a damn how cute the robot is.
because at this stage, they have become self aware. If they did not have the little LED on the side of their head you wouldn't even know. Also, at this stage of robotic evolution they have become a living entity, needing the "blue blood" like we need our blood to keep bio components healthy and working. They are basically a better human being made by human beings. It is my Hope's that one day we as human will be able to augment ourselves, kind of like in the game Dues Ex.
In a relationship, a lot of emotional attachment comes from getting to know the other person: their likes, dislikes, experiences, strengths, and flaws. Even though the androids might look like humans, they can’t have the same emotional connection humans are able to develop with eachother. Also any android that has reached emotional intelligence and can share an emotional bond with a human will have already reached the singularity and killed everyone.
No. I am biased towards human women. The moment I find out that she's not human, it doesn't matter how real she looks. It doesn't matter that she passes the Turing test. I wouldn't be attracted to her.
I used to watch a Russian show which takes place in the future with robots like that. I think I would give it a try. Safer than a human girl. If I wanna be left alone, just turn her off. Can't do that to a human girl.
I believe what sets humans apart from all other life is the presence of a soul. I don't believe animals or plants have souls and I especially don't believe androids/robots have souls. I wouldn't be willing to date someone without a soul.
Why not, humans are becoming more isolated with their emotions, as humans we are becoming more like robots and we are building robots that simulate the emotions, empathy and understanding. If the need is not there why would it exist.
I’m sorry. I just picked one per gender using the first to come to mind. Markus certainly has quite a story. (Also replace the “k” with a “c“ and his name is my middle name. lol)
@itsmeamy It is creepy in a science fiction horror movie way. The words “on (insert date here) Skynet became self aware” go through my mind, as well as the Borg, the Cylons, Bladerunner et al. I may be a borderline TFL/incel, who is too psychologically damaged for a biological female, but I am not so far down the rabbit hole that I would find any fulfilment through the use of a robotised masturbation aid. My hand and PornHub will get the job done. 🤣
@Unit1 ROBOTS are computer programmed. anything computerized can get a malware, virus and such, always. so there is never a guarantee with them. Would not take my chances at all.
I could customize her looks in any way I please and program her personality! If we are talking about an exact replica of a human like in the game, sure.
Any relationship with a machine would be a one sided affair no matter how real it may be programmed to make you feel. You should watch the Black Mirror episode "Be Right Back". It touches on this theme.
You need to get out of the house man! You can even pay for a person to fuck you! Come on. Nothing is better than the real thing. Plus everyone looks the same when the lights are off!
How can you have a “relationship” with a non-sentient being?

It depends, if she's realistic in the way girls stir up drama absolutely not. If she's realistically a woman and doesn't stir up drama plus has enthusiasm for sex, great.
This is where we are headed. People are growing way too incredibly self-absorbed to be in relationships with other humans.

Girls would need smooth face so she can sit on it. A tougue like kiss band has.. And a detachable viberator so she can choose wants best...😂 when it comes to s and m spankings, she better hope it doesn't malfunction like a broken lawn mover.. 😨
