I know comedic routines are about all I can expect out of this, but I'm still interested in seeing what possible ethical and moral issues this online meetup might bring up.
Yeah a few other people have recently mentioned this but it’s really quite fucked up if there’s a company making sentient humanoids and then buying/selling them as property.
With other series like Ponko we’ve already seen that the humanoid type robots are no longer in production (probably due to the unintended side effects of them all gaining sentience), and we know that Ponko has free will due to her parts degrading and stuff like that.
In this story though, these robots are specifically illegal, and on top of that they’re selling advanced AI that seems to be able to learn and has at least some level of consciousness. The consciousness doesn’t seem to be a bug or an issue, it seems to be a feature. That just feels so shitty to me, and honestly I’m scared to see what kind of other creeps there are who also bought sex bots.
