Robot GFs and BFs

In an attempt to totally alienate the last remaining tech-literate members of their audience, The Daily Telegraph ran a story today asking a fairly laughable question from the most ridiculous angle. Namely, the UK’s other paper of record wonders whether society will tolerate relationships between robot and human. The time to take a stand on the issue is now, they warn; before the robots wise up and start demanding their goddamn “rights.” They even found a “legal expert,” Anna Russel from the University of San Diego, to weigh in on the subject. Russel agrees that the lawyers today, clearly having solved all other problems, should start arguing the pros and cons of accepting robots into society. While the article mentions that we may soon create super intelligent machines, it never fully acknowledges the fact that these machines will quickly surpass our intelligence. Maybe Russel want’s a voice in this debate because she realizes that the best lawyers of the future will be machines. Better we restrict their rights than they ours, no? At this point we’re left with the article’s original question about society tolerating a human/robot tryst. Of course, the real question is why on Earth would a super intelligent machine be interested in romancing humans? Wouldn’t that be sort of like bestiality for an advanced AI machine? But, then again, we evidently need laws against that, too.

RuralJuror: I don't know if whether society will tolerate it or not really matters. Horny guys will use whatever they can to get off. That's one constant that is not going to change.
