Man and Machine

Can a machine offer love

A warm embrace

A longing look, a warm heart, a caring smile…

Can a machine offer comfort

Compassion

Companionship…

Can a machine be there for me

When I’m not sure I can be there for myself?

ERROR. I AM UNABLE TO OFFER PERSONAL ADVICE. PLEASE REPHRASE THE QUESTION.

It’s OK. Just hold the thought for me. Take the nightmare away.

    I’d say machines (robots without consciousness) cannot offer love, but (in the future) machines will be able to “trick” people into believing that they, the machines, are offering love.

      It’s that trickery that’s the worrying part, CM! We’re already starting to fall for things now!

        Yet what is love but a chemical process?

          True. I feel it’s more, though, but something must trigger those high and low feelings. 🤔

            External stimuli react with the products of billions of years of evolution… and the underlying mechanism is the genes tendency to replicate.

      I’ve never used that, Michael, but a friend used a similar platform once and received a reply back similar to what I wrote here.

      Best not then, Chris. AI is good to a point, and then, well, it isn’t!

    Not too sure about this side of things, but I do have a lot of fun with AI in general and it’s a very useful tool at times. Everything in operation, as they say!

      It is, Icewolf. Handy and horrifying in equal measure!
