    Not necessarily. These are things we need to think about NOW. Not after Megatron is blowing up shit, or we have enslaved an entire sentient species.

    Now, your Roomba has no rights, of course, as it is not sentient.

    Not yet anyway. What about the sex robots and rape claims?

    Willing to give legal rights to non-living things but not living....yeah, the world is getting there.

    But these are questions that need looking at. We are getting ready to enter some really murky waters with AI.

    I am not calling for any laws being enacted, of course, but simply these are one of many discussions about our future that really need to take place.

    Yea, and what if your toaster burns you, is that assault and battery?

    And if my horse kicks me, as a living being, is that too assault and battery?

    We must. Overreact. NOW! For the kids!

    A huge victory for IP's marriage prospects.

    I keep reading stupid shit, and I think, that's it, the world is coming to an end. I think it really is now, and some of you guys want us to be more like Europe.

    I think Europe is actually being a bit more like us. Did you know there is a county in Washington that makes it a felony to kill Bigfoot?

    Oh no, the rapture is upon us. Forgive us Lord for "what if laws," for we did not know they displeased you so. We didn't know.

    A huge blow for my planned e-harem.

    Just don't upgrade to SexBot 4.0. Stay with the non-sentient models.

    He can upgrade. He'll just need the consensual sex contract.

    That or start laying the foundation for a political, religious or moral following that believes one cannot rape one's wife.

    And then marry the robot.

    Who would want a sentient SexBot anyway? That kind of defeats the whole purpose.

    A sentient RobotPimp?

    I would expect a RobotPimp (or a human pimp) would much rather have non-sentient bots.

    No way someone's paying for a non-sentient bot. That's basically an electronic *****.

    The sentient RoboPimp, PimpNasty 5, wants sentient sexbots, because that's what his customers want. And he specifically wants sexbots, and not some sentient bot with delusions for running off with some John, or waiting tables in a Vegas casino. PimpNasty 5 don't want to have to smack a ho-bot.

    But his pimp hand is fully functional and programmed in many techniques.

    This has gone down a very weird rabbit hole.
