Head over Heelz

They can cook, clean, and basically take over a lot of regular human jobs that we struggle with on a day to day basis. Does this mean we’ve fallen in love? It seems we’re in 'love' due to the fact that technological advances have taken over many of our day to day inconveniences, but doesn’t solve our problems.


In the article, Mr.Choi strongly believes robots can somehow in the near future be able to comprehend emotion, which I strongly disagree with. Artificial intelligence researcher David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands told LiveScience, "My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots."

Levy states, “The idea of romance between humanity and our artistic and/or mechanical creations dates back to ancient times…40 years ago, scientists noticed that students at times became unusually attracted to ELIZA, a computer program designed to ask questions and mimic a psychotherapist”


Its crazy to think, "Love and sex with robots are inevitable." The act of sexual intercourse yes, can be satisfied by ones personal uses of vibrators, or pills or creams, but loving a piece of machinery seems a little far fetched, even for humans. The fact that similarities in personality and knowledge are programmable is a bit frightening, considering we now have technology that can live for us. We can skip the everyday hustle and bustle and come home to a nice blank screen that will give you what you want and when you want it, so why not pass up?

If people do choose to sanely form a bounding relationship to their hunks of significant others, by 2050, it seems the growth of some economies are in for a extreme drop in population growth, culture, crime and development.

Some advantages to the new ‘i-robots’ may include the decline in sexually transmitted diseases, hpv, teen pregnancy and an overall increase in physical health, sexually. Hypothetically, having friends to provide emotional stimulus, while your vibrator works its magic seems tempting, can humans really survive on a level of pleasure gratification solely for themselves?

If humans are unwilling to find meaning in anything these days, including healthy relationships, it seems we’ve hit a bump in the road.
