RE: To The Moon As A Robot; My Grand Plan

in #bots8 years ago

Even though I understand the appeal there's some irony there though. As you said, robots don't experience emotion, so you won't feel any sort of fulfillment whenever you accomplish tasks or do anything for that matter. It'll just be simply another event. You won't have anything to look forward to and you won't have anything noteworthy to reminisce. You'll just be existing. While it's great that you're serving a purpose (and doing it with utmost efficiency) you won't have any sense of purpose, because you would be capable of feeling anything. These are all wonderful, thought provoking questions.

Fun fact: My laboratory back in college deals specifically with providing AI with emotion.

Sort:  

But emotions are limiting most times! So I either have a bot version of myself or I become a bot with learning capabilities and I can learn to have emotions and also have full control over them.

Maybe a great compromise for that is a cybernetic implant for our brains that allows us to shut off our emotions at will. I've often thought of that, and it would definitely help avoiding disagreements and, in a much a larger scale, wars.
