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.

Marriage is for humans. What they mean is would you have the robot masturbate you exclusively in place of a human and then delude yourself into thinking it’s a normal relationship.

You should see Ex Machina. I think it is more realistic. Robots don’t have souls.

Do Asimov’s rules for robots apply?
I’m also remembering an old Playboy Annie Fanny cartoon from forty five years ago in which she falls madly in love with a robot.

If you wanted to, Obama would sign the marriage certificate.
