    If Intelligent sexy robots existed today ? Would you date one?

    Would it feel unnatural? Are you technophobic? Is it like having a smartphone?acceptable and trendy?

    You'd have to be a great man for codding yourself to go along with that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭BoroMan32


    Absolutely, provided she doesn't have a robot mother in law for me to visit as well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 117 ✭✭ScottCapper


    Nah I’d give it to her tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 800 ✭✭✭niallers1


    If there was a mute button I'd consider it:D

    7 of 9 wasnt a robot though she was assimilated by the borg.

    in that case it could be considered group sex

    Thought Humans is an old TV series, from 2015 like ? Just loved it !

    So having Humans on the back of my head - no, I wouldn't date a synth.

    - it takes a rare combination of traits, combined with human error that might get me to be attracted to someone.One just can't buy that "model" from a shop. Now if one of "my" very few would decide to go hybrid - possibly I would still be interested :)

    Yes. Definitely. I'd also offer up my entire body to change into an android myself. Think Surrogates until I can change out my body.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,652 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Yes, if the sex was the same as with a human and I could turn him off when I wanted to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,819 ✭✭✭liam7831


    Don't think I could resistor

    People have done stranger things I suppose!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,932 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    Yes, do we get to pick our robot?
    It's hard to decide between Niska from humans or the blondy one from Battlestar Gallactica.. God Battlestar Gallactica has to be the most underrated show ever


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,157 ✭✭✭Mister Vain


    Yes, as long as she wasn't an androgynous terminator with a left wing narrative.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,707 ✭✭✭Bobblehats


    If Intelligent sexy robots existed today ? Would you date one?

    Would it feel unnatural? Are you technophobic? Would it evolve to be any different than having a smartphone?acceptable and trendy?

    Could you fall in love with a robot? More than likelyhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2019/05/07/could-fall-love-robot-romance-machines-could-future-relationships/

    I don’t think her eyes are actually green such is the dominant nature of ol brown eye but she certainly looks half Gemma / half Chan

    Keep in mind she’s not actually a robot but if they were all sheathed in such good looks I just might.

    Depends robots in most shows are useless.

    Maybe data from startrek is less useless.

    I would have sex with a robot but i cant believe the majority would date one, date somebody who has no genuine independent thought of their own throughout your entire relationship? Date somebody who will never feel love or even affection towards you no matter how many decades you spend together? I think thats sad! But if it makes people happy, then I suppose its not sad really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,012 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    If I can get a Gemma Chan lookalike that is USB rechargeable and has a mute button to nosh me off on a regular basis...

    I for one welcome our new robot Overlords!

    Yes. My rubber friend is getting so predictable in bed. She makes no effort and just lies there moaning. I could have got married if that i what I wanted.

    I suppose that is the question really. How do you even know the people you date have those things?

    What do we mean by "robot". Is it something approximating independent thought and free will - or does it actually have these things? There are debates even as to whether _we_ even have these things or are the illusory.

    But even if they are only approximating it - so what? There is the "uncanny valley" effect in play then. Since you can not even prove the person you love has free will or independent thought - why does a robot require it?

    For "love" to happen perhaps all it has to do is to be competent at giving the illusion of having these things accurately enough to trigger your sensibilities. Perhaps this is all the people you actually do love are doing for all we know - and all we ourselves are doing for them!

    Why can’t an AI have a genuine independent thought? Why can’t an AI feel love or affection? Just because an AI that advanced hasn’t been created yet doesn’t mean it will not be impossible in the future.

    I suspect Woman might be a Cylon. Her mother is bolted to a girder in Japan - she's a welder at Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

    Poll needs a "It's too bad she won't live. Then again, who does!" option. RIP Rutger Hauer. :D

    I'd be thinking that they would be something akin to the ones in Westworld.

    I think you have to buy the naughty parts separately.

    Would I .... Yes.

    But only if I had a large tub of lubricating gelly, plus a tin of 3in1 oil and set of jump leads!

    Are we talking a Rachel like in blade runner? If so it's a definite yes.

    Can anything have an independent thought? Do thoughts exist outside electrical and chemical cause and effect?
    I'm not convinced free will exists for anything.

    We'll stop calling them robots, we'll start calling them synthetic humans, it'll be grand :)
