Robot might kill me because a pressure sensor was gummed up and the welcome home hug contained 10000 newtons of hydraulic force.
It's like people being scared of self-driving cars (or trains etc): nearly all car accidents are happening because of human error; same for trains. Yet we are far more scared of some mechanical/Ai failure, which ultimately would be or will be far less likely ;)
It's not entirely about the actual risk level. It's also about the perception . . . and reality . . . that you have some control over that risk. People like to feel in control of what's going on. If you drive a car and don't want to die, you can drive defensively; it won't necessarily work, but careful drivers do have far fewer accidents. If your car drives itself the risk level is what it is--high or low, you are helpless to make a difference. Blank Mage was just saying that robot risk leaves you less in control than people risk, and I'd say it's true--we've evolved to estimate and counter people risk; robot risk, not so much.
That said, I doubt anyone's going to make sexbots with superhuman strength. You know how much it would cost to make your sexbot even capable of generating that much force? Actually, if it's battery powered it's probably impossible. Real sexbots would mostly be built wimpier than normal humans and generally not be very good at violence. Even if they shorted out on you the voltage probably wouldn't be heavy enough to kill.
(and control or no control, I'll totally go for self-driving cars so I can read while the car does the driving)
Back at the manga, I liked it.
