| quote: | "My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots," artificial intelligence researcher David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands told LiveScience. Levy recently completed his Ph.D. work on the subject of human-robot relationships, covering many of the privileges and practices that generally come with marriage as well as outside of it.
"It may sound a little weird, but it isn't," Levy said. "Love and sex with robots are inevitable."
Ethical questions
The possibility of sex with robots could prove a mixed bag for humanity. For instance, robot sex could provide an outlet for criminal sexual urges. "If you have pedophiles and you let them use a robotic child, will that reduce the incidence of them abusing real children, or will it increase it?" Arkin asked. "I don't think anyone has the answers for that yet — that's where future research needs to be done."
Keeping a robot for sex could reduce human prostitution and the problems that come with it. However, "in a marriage or other relationship, one partner could be jealous or consider it infidelity if the other used a robot," Levy said. "But who knows, maybe some other relationships could welcome a robot. Instead of a woman saying, 'Darling, not tonight, I have a headache,' you could get 'Darling, I have a headache, why not use your robot?' " |
:/. not in my country!

| Anyone who suggests letting paedophiles 'use' robot children so they might be less dangerous to real children is a nut. |

There are two things I'd like to know before engaging in such debate:
- Are the robots conscious, and how would they perform in a Turing Test? On the one hand, a non-conscious robot would be like a sex toy, but should a conscious robot be granted those rights proposed by Asimov, or should them accept a similar moral system? In the latter case, I don't see how it would be different from human relationships in general.
- What's the average breast size of a female robot? The bigger their breastesses are, the more inclined I am to approve of this nuttery :D |

I think its safe to say they'll fail the Turing test. Cause if they pass it...we're ed. |
