home help robots

Marianne72

I read BBC news today about help robots in care homes. I would love a care robot in my home.  A humanoid robot that stands in the corner and interacts when I want conversation, helps me get up from a chair, peels the veg. etc. What do you think? Orwellian nightmare or urban boon?

  • Are the humanoid robots imagined here eventually life-like? My thoughts go to the surreal uncomfortable notion that there is something In front of me thinking for itself and making judgements and or calculations based on however it is perceiving me. I am not sure even if said machines were deemed as conscious I would consider them so as they will always be artificially aware and not naturally. The younger generations minds however seem more accepting of changes in societal norms with the invention of AI romantic partners which is still very absent of reality and is redirecting emotional connection purely into digital communication. The internet is the dopamine park and apps are the playground apparatus.
