Rise Of The Machines 2

As the article says, I might be suffering from the "Uncanny Valley Syndrome"...



I think revulsion takes it a bit far but creepiness is certainly there. I've seen some of the videos out there, very realistic, even the called sex dolls seem to have everything to please.

Imagine your next girlfriend being one of those, they say...



Is that so?

I tend to disagree. A robot, even when the AI is close to the real thing, will never replace the human interaction as far as emotions go. All nice and dandy for the person who'd like a mate to do exactly as they'd want but a relationship needs more than that. A meaningful discussion, an argument once in a while, a divergence of opinions on different subjects..

Having a 15 year old robotic daughter or friend?



I really don't know what to think of those. I'm divided between a feeling of "Cool" (probably as this technology is new) and a feeling of "it's an abomination to the human species" type of emotion.

Trust here is another major issue. Would I ever trust AI?
