Its like you're saying sex toys are bad because they're electronics... of course, incest is worse.
Do you name your toaster and develop relationships with it? for me it's more like existential threat, all this ai boy/girlfriends are horrifying, dude at least has a body, so it's understandable, but even more horrific. Incest in real life isn't good, nobody saying that, but this type of shit is even worse than zoophilia for me. No, I take it back, nothing is worse than animal abuse, but in a way its also abuse...
You've got some insane morals. And regardless it's literally fictional but if this is your morals that you apply to real life I really wonder.
Well, there is some truth to that...
And I understand that it’s fiction, but the thing is, fiction can still influence and normalize things in the real world (like it did to me ahah). Ideas float around in the collective unconscious and then eventually manifest in reality. With incest, for example, there are centuries old barriers that have already been formed and that stop people from acting on it. Speaking specifically for myself, what stops me from incest? simply that I’m not attracted to anyone in my family lol, so are they¿. Also, when incest involves a significant age difference, grooming makes me uncomfortable, messing with someone’s head, that’s horrifying. With robots, though, ten years ago this question wouldn’t have bothered me, but now that it’s actually happening, I don’t want to add fuel to this pathology. It’s still new, and humans haven’t figured out how to deal with it yet. Robots can’t feel, and if they can, then that raises other questions: who are we, really, and what do feelings even mean? In my eyes, that flatten emotions, kills the mystery of life. But its today's me, ask me in 10 years again.
Your comparison is so far off, like do you use your toaster sexually? No, right? So obviously you won't get any emotional attachment to that. I just don't don't agree with you saying that it's worse and even lined it up with zoophilia, that's so far off. Because the bot here are humanoid and if we talk about ai, most likely people that fall for them are lonely humans that are yearning for human interactions (which is like the MC there) and those ai are the closest they have, especially when they are programmed for that.
You guys are so strange, incest is not ok, but robots are???
