Using a robot for routine, rote, repetitive, and sometimes dangerous tasks in industry is hardly the same as using one in a human relationship./QUOTE]
never stated they were the same
No one posted that. Robots have specific tasks where they can work more efficiently but they aren't appropriate for everything..
robots can and will be doing allot more in our society. one day prob soonner then you or i think, they will be gettign tasked with all sorts of things you or i never thought they could. like raising kids who the hell knows..
just because a machien can be programmed to do a sertain taskt doesnt mean we should let them do that task.
in othe rwords
innovation for innovations sake shoudlnt be the goal
in regards to replacing a large section of the work force with these, that also has a cost on society. we can ignore that cost all we like. the cost though remains
alright
