David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlends told some people, as part of his, I believe, doctoral disertation that Robots would not only become advanced enough to make the beast with two backs, but would also legally be allowed to marry humans in Massachusetts by 2050.
I'm not kidding you.
My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots," artificial intelligence researcher Levy told LiveScience. Levy recently completed his Ph.D. work on the subject of human-robot relationships, covering many of the privileges and practices that generally come with marriage as well as outside of it.I wanted to make some ridiculing statements, but then Levy did it for me:
There's a trend of robots becoming more human-like in appearance and coming more in contact with humans," Levy said. "At first robots were used impersonally, in factories where they helped build automobiles, for instance. Then they were used in offices to deliver mail, or to show visitors around museums, or in homes as vacuum cleaners, such as with the Roomba. Now you have robot toys, like Sony's Aibo robot dog, or Tickle Me Elmos, or digital pets like Tamagotchis."He also forsees robot sex within the next five years.In his thesis, "Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners," Levy conjectures that robots will become so human-like in appearance, function and personality that many people will fall in love with them, have sex with them and even marry them.
I... I rust don't know what to say. But let me be the first to call the next development in this:
