Robot pets?

[CaptainWacky]

What if you found out all your pets were just robots? Would you still love them, despite knowing that their behaviour is governed by complex programming?

 

[Sadistic Bastard]

Like your dog isn't?

"OH GREAT!!!! the people are home! Maybe they'll give me some FOOD!"
"Pet me, give me something to do...and then give me FOOD!"
"Yeah, I'll go pee outside, and then when I come back inside where it's warm and smells good, they might give me some FOOD!"
"I'd better guard the house and my people, if they leave it will be a pain in the ass to get more FOOD!"

Exactly!

 

[Cassie]

My dogs are people trapped in furry little bodies.

 

[curiousa2z]

like my cat.

 

[curiousa2z]

except I think he prefers the cat form for its beauty and flexibility.


and the built-in shivs.

 

[Dr Dave]

I will ask our family dog if he is a robot later today.

 

[headvoid]

I am trapped in a furry body

 

[Dr Dave]

Have somebody unzip it for you.

 

[CaptainWacky]

How come WALL-E was sentient?

 

[Sadistic Bastard]

Because sentient is "cute", if it's predictable and cute (not in the Nazi-Zombie "does he like me or is he going to eat my brain?" kind of way).

[Cassie]

I think one of my cows is a robot.

 

[Dr Dave]

How could you tell?

 

[Cassie]

His eyes turn red when he moos.

 

[Dr Dave]

Yeah thats a pretty good indicator.

You might need to kill it.

 

[CaptainWacky]

When you try to eat it and break your teeth, you'll know.
