While there are fears robots may rise up to take over the world if artificial intelligence progresses too quickly, some of us may find ourselves simply marrying machines in the future. A leading computer scientist has predicted that as robots become more human-like, people may start turning to them for companionship. His predictions mirror the plot of the hit TV series Humans, where people formed emotional attachments to robots brought in to help out around the home.

They should ask Marco’s wife her motivations.

You could always marry a real person and have a robot as a servant.

Some day...
Just like the movie AI.
Or the 1950s-1960s Twilight zone
Or 1960s outer limits show.
And humans might get to the next solar system some day.
Maybe use a Star Trek like transporter.

Sounds as if you’re describing a Roomba Mk XII, not a life mate.
Who cleans the cleaner? Are they programmed to clean their icky parts before cuddling up?

I found the movie Her to be prophetic. Also a little strange, but cool.

As a 60 year old man long timed married, no robot could ever replace my wife who without her I probably be dead right now. I like my vacuum cleaner ($$$) but I wouldn’t marry it, nor my Winchester 30-30.

I don’t see any reason there wouldn’t be huge advantages to having a long term, committed relationship with a a robot. I can’t see a downside
