clankers are human made & is not human, so doesn't come with human rights and does not require basic respect.

I mean they don't even understand the concept of being offended or slurs.

I feel this way about my socks. Those fuckers are worthless. I'm better than them.

How can someone feel enlightened by hating on inanimate objects? I don't get it.

Technically Star Wars coined it as a slur way the fuck back in one of the prequels. Shit ain't even from 2025.

My dude.

I'm not arguing about empathy itself. I'm arguing that technology is entirely incapable of genuine empathy on its own.

"AI", in the most basic definition, is nothing more than a program running on a computer. That computer might be made of many, many computers with a shitton of processing power, but the principle is the same. It, like every other kind of technology out there, is only capable of doing what it's programmed to do. And genuine empathy cannot be programmed. Because genuine empathy is not logical.

You can argue against this until you're blue in the face. But it will not make true the fact that computers do not have human feelings.

Well, that's a bad argument, this is all a guess on your part that is impossible to prove, you don't know how empathy or the human brain work, so you don't know it isn't computable, if you can explain these things in detail, enjoy your nobel prize. Until then what you're saying is baseless conjecture with pre-baked assumptions that the human brain is special.

conversely I can't prove that it is computable, sure, but you're asserting those feelings you have as facts.

when I first saw this reply, it was only a few minutes old and I think or I hope I was the 2nd or 3rd upvote on it. Now its the most popular comment on this and I am glad to have been in consensus on it.

Toasters is the best phrase for this

For decades we thought the arrival of an extraterrestrial species could unite humanity but it was the smart fridges all along! What a time to be alive.

We all grew up wanting to be like Obi-Wan. Maybe a little too much.

I don't care if it's genuine or not. Computers can definately mimic empathy and can be programmed to do so.

When you watch a movie you're not watching people genuinely fight/struggle/fall in love, but it mimics it well enough.

Jesus fucking christ on a bike. You people are dense.

You should be happy. Mine does a different thing every time, no matter the setting...

What is my purpose ?

Doubt any one of them is going to stick.

I miss the 70s flair. Can we have Slop-O-Matic 3000 at least?

Especially when a "hard r" word is used. You'll never convince me that's a coincidence. It's just "funny racism".

The idea that we can create a "slur" for an inanimate object is the result of corporate propaganda.

Marketing teams would attempt to use propaganda to humanize this auto correct software before admitting it can't do what they said it could.

In the Manual it says you can whip your clankers as hard as you want. If they don't malfunction within 3 hours then it's all covered under warranty!
