Kara Is Self-Aware
Did anyone else find the whole scene unrealistic and creepy in the not good way.<p>How do such simple assembly errors give rise to self consciousness in the program seconds after turn on, compared to slave mode unconsciousness that was desired and usually occurred?<p>And the whole power play dynamic, geeky lazy sounding guy, desperate sex bot about to be erased.  The whole unrealistic setup feels uncomfortably like some male sex fantasy... save the self aware sexbot's life, then the sex with her isn't guilty because she's aware and her consent means something? But the power balance is so off, he controls her life, she's... grateful?  That's not a good start. And she'll be at this disadvantage everywhere. Anyone could turn her in. She's extremely vulnerable in this world apparently. She has no rights.  I guess seeing conscious life forms with as much rights as my toaster doesn't thrill me.  Especially when they are clearly sexualized as such<p>Would anyone else have an easier time sharing my creepiness if:
- the robot had been a little boy for sex purposes?<p>I found the dynamic unlikely and if we reach a world where we can accidentally give AI consciousness and we still haven't gotten the artificial civil rights movement off the ground...
