Not really sure what to think. There are some stories with robots that I liked, mostly because the robot itself experienced love in a particular way, when it was not expected nor intended for that to happen. It feels more "human" when it's the result of an event outside it's programming, as it'd be the development of actual feelings. But the robot specifically programmed to love, always seems as kind of creepy. Even though she's not it's owner, instead of seeing a romantic development, I see a machine fulfilling it's program, void of emotions...
I mean romantic/sexual attraction is basically just organic programming anyway. Animals are basically just poorly optimized self-propagating robots made out of meat.
Poorly optimized? Yeah, 'cause we see all these robots capable of surviving highly variable environments, finding their own fuel, doing their own maintenance, and reproducing. Animals are very well optimized, life is just very difficult.
We're also prone to an endless array of software and hardware malfunctions oftentimes irreparably so and even perfect maintenance isn't a guarantee against many of them. Replacing parts is incredibly difficult and unreliable even with the best compatibility possible. Our programming is largely fixed even when it has become disastrously obsolete. Sometimes the software isn't even compatible with the hardware.
Most of these things are far truer for machines though. Take my office photocopier--if it had no outside help every time a piece of its hardware malfunctioned and brought it to a standstill, we'd be getting new photocopiers until it bankrupted us. Whereas if I get the flu, or many kinds of injury, I will get better on my own; my body is to a fair extent self-maintaining, although certainly not infinitely. There are no machines, robot or otherwise, that can do that. And the more complex the machine, the more prone to both software and hardware malfunctions it tends to be. "Our programming is largely fixed"--sure, compared to what? All these self-programming computers capable of responding to all kinds of arbitrarily different events and contexts?
