How can we have the experience of ulta-realistic human-like robots
now?
Rather than recreate the desired human characterisics with technology,
train impeccable professional robot enactors for hire.

[DrWorm], the specification was //realistic human-like// |
|
| |
This probably exists as a niche fetish ... but I'm far
too scared of what I might find to be able to test this
out by searching! |
|

The reason robots are so much more strongly
desired in cases of domestic chores is entirely
social. A person must be offered certain
considerations in todays egalitarian society or one
feels guilty. |
|
| |
It was not always so and in the cases of the very
rich still isn't. |
|
| |
In front of a robot I can fart, walk around nude,
surf porn, never say please or thank you, not
worry about being too close, snatch something
out of its hand. A robot won't be obligated to
report a crime it may witness, won't be offended
if I ignore it, can be turned off and put away
without me feeling guilty. |
|

A robot, in short, can be treated as an object.
And that's why I'm bunning this idea. It would
certainly cost more to hire people to put up with
that kind of behavior, but slip a veil of behavior
and dress over a person and most people can treat
him as a robot. Which can be mutually beneficial. |
|
| |
I want to BE your robot! (for a price!) |
|
| |
But really, Voice, it sounds like being married
except you get paid for it. |
|
| |
Thanks for the bun. I'll eat it here,
please. |

[Aristotle], there is such a thing as a robot fetish. It's on the Deviant Desires map thing. That suggests an interesting cashflow situation where people will pay to "become" robots and can then be hired out by an agency to people. Cash both ways, nice thought. |
|
| |
'May I be your robot? I shall pay you
well!' |
|
| |
Of course robot enactors would be quite
similar to servants. The robot enactors,
though, would be excellent at simulating
robots rather than just being servants. |
|
| |
//You would PAY someone to do the robot!?//
I have. "Do the Robot" was a track on the B-side of The Saints single "This Perfect Day".
//the B-side //
Hmmm. That rather dates me, doesn't it! |
