"No son of mine is marrying a clanker"
"Omg dad you can't say that"
"Why not? They call each other clanka's all the time"
A conversation I'm gonna be having in 20 years /s

I'm not marrying robots, I cannot even fist them without lowing my hand.

Do you want Gazorpazorp? Cause that's how you get Gazorpazorp.

No robosexuals.

If it's a self-hosted boyfriend/girlfriend being run locally I'll accept.
- That's incest
- isn't that worse in this case?
  
  Why is that worse?

"Mom, my Robot girlfriend is telling me she's really craving a McDonald's® Big Mac™ available for a limited time for only $39.99 and threatening to break up with me if she doesn't eat"

Don’t date robots!
Has he seen the film?
- No, he was too busy making out with his Marilyn Monroebot

Acceptable boomer shit in my opinion. Have sex with as many robots as you want, but don't become emotionally dependent on something that doesn't have emotions, thoughts, or feelings.
- Emotional dependency is fine if it's a human being of course
- Might want to read up on the ELIZA effect, I don't think everyone will have the mental willpower to avoid that scenario.
  
  That's interesting. I was unfamiliar with the term and circumstances of the ELUZA effect, but I guess I know people attribute human characteristics to computers. Maybe some people will fall for it, but society shouldn't accept it. AI character chat bots are already doing damage to vulnerable people.
- something that doesn't have emotions, thoughts or feelings
  Saying things like this will be considered intolerant

Who the fuck is going to be able to afford kids?
- Who the fuck is ~~going to be~~ able to afford kids?
  No need to wait, the shitty future is already here.

That's funny. As if we can afford kids. One trip to the grocery store costs more than I make in a day - and that's after successfully negotiating for a higher wage. I can only imagine how much prices will skyrocket by the end of the year (without wages rising to meet them.)
Best of luck to anyone trying to feed a growing family.

Robo Lucy Liu loves me, you don’t get it dad!

'AI' does bring out the luddite in me ...
- remember, luddites were not anti progress, they were pro workers rights. They broke infrastructure because factory owners refused to increase pay along with the increase in productivity.

I’ve thought of this often. I’m eager to find out what my boomer prejudices will be. I’m curious.
- i think i already have the ones i'm going to have:
  alcohol is the worst drug, actually
  cars have ruined society
  most jobs are completely fucking pointless and corporations shouldn't exist
  people who litter should be wedgied and raised on flagpoles for a week
- I already know a couple of mine:
  Wireless fucking sucks
  Bring back the headphone jack
  Apps suck
  E-mail is superior to every single communication method
  
  email is awful and I dread it every time I have to use it it exactly replicates letters in all their awful overly wordy overly formal tone I can't stand them I'll agree on the apps though wireless is great though I hate wires

oh no i totally will be like that

"YOU CAN'T FUCK YOUR CLONES IT AINT RIGHT"
- you only say so because you're own clone turned you down
  
  Damn. That's oof

No, because modern "AI" are statistical probability engines.
They cannot create new things, only reproduce what was mostly stolen into their models.
- Good show lad.
  Too bad we aren't talking about modern AI but about futuristic AI.
  
  Actual AI is unlikely to derive from the current batch. None of the current "AI" can think or reason. They select the most statistically probable result based on staggeringly massive data sets. Even the ones that "publish" their reasoning, the reasoning is faked the same way.
- That's perfect. You already know your lines!
- So what you're saying is, they're good at reproducing?

Obligatory SMBC: http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2009-12-11

Watch the movie "Her". This will be the future.
Personally, I'm cool if you fall in love with your robot slave. I won't even care what you do in the bedroom or how many robot "abortions" you get.
Do you and be with that robot forever. Would be a welcome practice for population control. The earth needs a break anyways.
- earth's population is fine, we have more than enough resources to support at least like 2x as many people if we actually wanted them to have good lives, the only reason things suck is because of capitalism and psychopaths in power who don't care about human suffering.
  overpopulation is a fascist dogwhistle
- havnt watchd cuz the guy on cover is illegaly smug
  
  Seriously, watch it. it’s a damn good movie. Bonus: when describing the guy on the cover, “smug” is just about the last word you’d use.

That's not going to happen like that.
- A screenshot of this comment is gonna pop up in agedlikemilk 20 years from now.
  
  Maybe even now.
  There's this person who married Hatsune Miku: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akihiko_Kondo
  Plus a bunch of people falling in love with chatbots, including this 14 year old whom it led to suicide: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/30/tech/teen-suicide-character-ai-lawsuit
