Elmofongo: Androids, the kind you see in Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, and the Matrix (Perticularly The Anmatrix which shows the how the whole story began) Am I the only one who thinks that in reality androids serve no purpose in reality?
Really in reality what is the point of creating Synthetic Andriods that look human, especially making them look human.
In the Animatrix there was this grusome sequence with an Android female being abused and killed by people during a riot. This Android looked so real until they ripped off its synthetic "skin" showing the Robot inside (its skin even has nipples on its breast?) But my question is why do they make them so human? I don't see the use of human looking androids beeing applied today. Also the idea of having robots do everything. In this day and age where people complain about lack of jobs and opportunities why would we want androids to do are jobs for us?
Despite the reasoning in sci fi like Blad Runner, Ghost in the Shell, Alien, etc. I just don't see the point of Androids in reality?
Imagine if they would exist in limited quantities and not in the amount as they exist in your example? For works that are either too dangerous for humans or other reasons why humans cannot do the task (Medical care. Espionage. Communication, Sexbots etc.)
Also androids are supposed to be humanoids so that's why they look human ;)
I understand humanoid, but why make them look complete human like the Terminator or Replicants or those in Ghost of the Shell. I just don't see the purpose of it being applied to reality.
Also my critique 3 of the 4 things you mentioned.
What if the andrioid malfunctioned before or during a surgery.
Espionage, I am certain the state an android is infiltrating will find ways to tell whether who is a person and who is a android sent by an enemy nation. And besides people are even more unpredictable than androids anyway.
Sexbots. Really? Seriously? No just no, its just wrong. People should just stick to porn or even cartoon porn if you want to avoid endangering a person in the porn buisness. Why watch playboy when we have quality drawn rule 34? (And not the freaky kind of pictures either. There are tame artists)
Sachys: lets face it, as soon as it is possible, these will be marketed - long before any military application. theres already those creepy weirdos with the "realistic" fuckdolls. all they need is some high end circuitry and animatronics and you have a basic android.
What I said about sexbots.
