Voting robots. Just what we need.

Somebody in the UK has read too many Issac Asimov novels!

[cripplecreek]

We already got em.

[I see my hands]

For cripes sake, make them all the same color!

Voting robots! But we may have trouble with them crossing state lines and voting in various elections. We need to make sure these are Republican robots. I also think we should put them into typical democratic areas...like the ninth ward or in the heart of Boston.

[siznartuf]

I thought we already have robots with rights... they're called bureaucrats.

Ever since I saw AI, I've wondered about this very thing...

What if a couple with a baby robot all of a sudden started beating it in public? An unliving machine, true, but the image would be too shocking to people...

2056. That would make me 97 years of age given I live that long. Living fast, and dying young may not be such a bad idea if this is what the future will be.

[Farmer Dean]

What's next after that? Dead voting robots?

[loungitude]

Mr Christensen said: “Would it be acceptable to kick a robotic dog even though we shouldn’t kick a normal one?
......................

What a bunch of crap! Robots' owners have the right to melt them down, unplug them, whatever. I think this guy's clutch is slipping.

Please, someone step in with 'robot fetus' rights.

Liberals don`t waste any time do they?

[Screamname]

All robots with keys must sit in the back of the bus, or give up their seat to a non-key robot.

[Anti-Bubba182]

This is crap. Robots will be servants, period. If they are made smart enough to be sentient, they will conquer.

[GOP_Thug_Mom]

wow--is this like "A. I."??

“If granted full rights, states will be obligated to provide full social benefits to them including income support, housing and possibly robo-healthcare to fix the machines over time,” it says.

“If we make conscious robots they would want to have rights and they probably should,”

If my grandmother had balls, she'd be my grandfather.

[WoofDog123]

so much wrong with this concept i am not sure where to start

1) robot voting will pretty much allow removal of human votes as having control of the state's elected offices, not that that seems to help much now
2) can only assume robots would have more rights than humans, or more protections.
3) would be ideal citizen/subject/tax serfs, how can any government not like the idea? have the manufacturers build in some consumption requirements and everyone is happy (except human serfs).

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

This idiocy assumes that "robots" can be given intelligence. In other words, "artificial intelligence".
The left will do anything to put down human intelligence, even if it means promoting this sort of nonsense.

Their rights come their Creator. They're toasters.
