I prefer slaves not look like humans, but one would be a great help to me. My cleaner will be pissed to lose her gig. I assume these bots will have an off switch, but should they be able to report abusive or criminal behaviour by their masters? How much data will be shared with the manufacturer? I don't require one with any anatomical replicating features, but I assume some people would want that. When do these machines cross a boundary into having rights? What is the measure of a man?

 

[Santaman]

I hope they'll make one looking like a T-800..

Why can't we have our Robots look like proper Droids/Androids.

I don't want them to look ANYTHING like a human, I want it to be Cool Looking, but obviously a Android.

Any effort to Anthropomorphize it into a Human Being is HIGHLY UnNecessary IMO.

Indeed, I find such attempts incredibly creepy and the same goes for their creators.

If I could have a modified / customized BD-1 droid that has my "Enhancements", I'd be stoked.

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

I don't think I'd like even one autonomous bot scuttling around my house. If I had several in different rooms that I commanded like Alexa, that'd be fine. I'd also like access to a robot taxi service that would ferry me to and from medical appointments, but I wouldn't need to own it wholesale. We have an incipient demographic crisis in the UK, and as many people don't seem to like immigrants, robotics is perhaps the best solution.

Or people can find ways to adjust the life-style of the UK & economic reality so everybody can produce more children.

We don't really have room at 281 people per square kilometre compared to 37 people per square kilometre for the US. We also have a similar trickle-down economic model as the US, which means people can't afford to raise children. The very rich buck the trend because they can.

Then the UK needs to figure out how to change things, like finding ways to lower the cost of living.

...Or increase average income. However, at the moment, it's more austerity to try to fix the effects of Brexit on top of austerity. Anyway, this isn't a politics forum, so it's back to the bots, I guess.

How could you not want your own little Robot that you hand picked & designed/chosen?

I guess I don't have a sentimental bone in my body. Other people have "cute" pets - I see enslaved animals that you have to feed and whose shit you have to pick up. At least bots don't create mess, although I guess they might leak oil or their batteries might leak or catch fire. A bot is just a bot, I don't want it to be cute.

@Asbo Zaprudder I guess for you Maximillian from the Black Hole movie would be a top design then..

Far too autonomous for my liking or even Reinhardt's. Also I never saw him cooking, cleaning or making beds. We don't need prima donna bots.

 

[Santaman]

^^ true.. I do think it will be nice and quiety with him around, no visitors, mail, police etc he'd "take care" of that..

If I ever need an enforcer bot, he'd be my first choice. I wouldn't want to be assimilated with him in a hell dimension, though.

OMNI magazine had an article decades ago about anti-social robot proxies that would assault any worker-bot assigned to you.

For fans of horror like M3GAN, there is the injunction against the manufacture of images:

I am surprised no one has named these simulacra “E-met”

The Golem - Clay Protector or Mud Monster — The Assemblage Art of Michael deMeng

In this entry I thought I’d add some visual tidbits to go along with my most recent Podcast featuring the Golem a creature of Jewish folklore. So if you haven’t listened yet…make sure you do: You can check out my podcast here: Season 1 Episode 4: The Golem - Clay Protector of Mud Monster

What is really sad is Moravec’s Paradox.
The kinds of menial tasks we want them to do is actually very difficult.

But art, writing—intellectual pursuits we thought we’d be doing as Robby took out the trash…that’s easier for A.I.

No fair!

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

Menial tasks can also be very physically demanding and exhausting besides often not well paid and extremely tedious. I always tried my very best to avoid them.
