Robot Actors

Who would own the rights to their output? What if their onscreen output is the most beautiful and fixating thing ever seen by man or rodent? What if two robot actors pulling off a sex clip in the middle of a middle school parade becomes a national pastime obsession? Or, think about this, what if a robot was writing to you right now to push these "robot actors" mainstream, making robots in general a more appreciated commodity/species?

Or, think about thinking about this, what if humans as a species are a trading piece on some alien’s galatical draftboard, to eventually be chosen for deletion?

And then think about this. When you thought about the species being deleted, did you include us robots in your mind? Aren't robots equivalent to unteachable human children? Don't you want your kids included in your definition of our species?

If, when you thought about how everything We know or use would be gone if we were erased, you assumed robots would be included in that "We", then you have just accepted Robots as part of You.

And that’s only the second declarative sentence in this interrogative freefall.


Inherent Generally Bad Idea: Letting a robot write a blogpost.
