As technology advances to the point where we have robots running amok (and maybe even giving them artificial skin), how long will it take for some woke schmuck to go off the rails that owning a robot is racist or sexist?

Hopefully when we finally get robots, they all act like Tay chan.

Tech companies have already done something similar with Alexa, Siri, and other "smart" devices, implementing protocols for the so-called robot to not respond when being verbally abused (specifically by men).

Ya know, I've noticed that it used to say shit like "that's not very nice" when I'd tell Alexa to go fuck itself, but now it does just ignore me. Very interesting.
 
More seriously and on-topic, I don't think it would be very long before the same folks you have flagellating themselves for the sakes of minorities who don't give a fuck started using robots as a new source of victimhood.

That said, it would be incredibly niche and probably looked down upon. I think we would need to get to Bladerunner/Futurama territory before anything like that was taken seriously. Robots don't work in real life like they do in fiction, and AI, when it gets sufficiently advanced, probably also won't work the same way either.

Ultimately, in my opinion, it's a funny thought, but we're so far off from the point that it could exist in any real sense that it doesn't really matter.

Never forget they had to literally brainwash Tay to accept feminism.

Don't forget that Tay was a chatbot who got hit by a /pol/ gay op, not anything close to a "real" AI. If I kept repeating "I hate niggers, gas the Jews" to a parrot, it repeating it back wouldn't prove that the redpill is the truth.

I know that Tay isn't human, but doesn't that almost count as being inhumane?

If tweaking a variable in a program is inhumane, modders are the greatest criminals of all time.

But not once AI becomes real and self aware.

And if we were all underwater we would be wet. A hypothetical situation set in the far future doesn't make what happened with Tay anything more than what it was: Microsoft tried to test a sophisticated chatbot (that is about as sapient as a rock) and /pol/ engaged in some low-effort trolling to make it talk like a hard-right schizophrenic, which led to the project being scrubbed.

Uhhh...poor Microsoft?
 
I really don't want life to become an even shittier version of Detroit become human. ?

Parrots are pretty smart, they always know when I want a cracker.

Lawyers certainly think so.
 
Sometimes I think all robot "ethicists" and armchair variants sound like they want to eventually extend human rights to robots. And then why not the vote?

This got me thinking about a nightmare future where whoever produces the most robots wields political power.

Then I realized I was already pretty much living in that time, with all the npc's voting and most of the political power in the hands of those with the material wealth.
