Robot Dogs Are Not Immortal
|
The thing is, these dogs are from 1999, when A.I. was barely even in the fledgling stage. How developed could this A.I. have been that people could get so attached?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
How developed are the people..these people get so attached to?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

May I just note that this is kind of sad, in a bad way, for everyone having owned a real dog. A robot won't replace a feeling emotional being at anytime.

That sounds like dialog out of just about every science fiction story that features robots.

IDK Abaris.,...seems at least -some- of those robot dog owners would disagree with you (more than a few of which have probably owned real dogs as well).
