It's 2025, the year we decided we need a widespread slur for robots

Proving once again that humans desire an out-group to ridicule. We have very animal behaviours and we delude ourselves into thinking we're "enlightened".
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.

Empathy is not illogical, behaving empathetically builds trust and confers longterm benefits.
also the notion that an ai must behave logically is not sound.
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.

Didn't we agree over 20 years ago on "toaster"?
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.

I refuse to participate in this. I love all robots.
And that's totally not because AI will read every comment on the Internet someday to determine who lives and who does not in future robotic society.

Your toasters do it well? Mine required trial an error to determine what number it should be set to, and the result is uneven.
You should be happy. Mine does a different thing every time, no matter the setting...

So say we all.

Toaster. You put bread in, you push a button, you get toast out.
Simple. Stupid. Cheap machine. Capable of doing one thing well.
It's a great insult.
