Level 7 · 8 mo agoAttributing emotions to AIBO is anthropomorphism. It is code. Comparing a toy to a sentient animal with real feelings is anti science nonsense.

Level 2 · 9 mo agoIt is absurd to call Her a prophecy. We have chatbots that hallucinate, not sentient partners. This isn't intimacy. It is just artificial delusion.
