Considering where that consciousness will return to on its own after this bag of warm meat and feces stops functioning, selecting a mechanoid with even fewer senses as one’s domicile would be like choosing a phone booth to live in after occupying a nice but aging house for 70 or so years. Since eviction is certain I’ll take the mansion offer.
Just think, every shiny new robot comes with somebody else’s baggage...
I thought there was hope for me when I first read the headline. Unfortunately it actually said robotic, not romantic.
This isn’t immortality.
Even if every memory and personality could be uploaded into a robot, it would still be a robot, and the person from whom the memory and personality were copied would still be the same person. The robot might last longer, but the person would still die.
I also think that, no matter how well the person’s memories and personality were transferred into the robot, the behavior of the robot version of the person would soon start to deviate from that of the original person. It eventually would not behave much like a human being. That would be an unavoidable consequence of development guided by mechanical programming instead of biological processes.
