It's advice. Who cares who said it?

Good point.

But at this point, advice isn't going to do anything for me.

I think i'm just a little overtaxed, not doing much then suddenly having to do a lot in one week, with very little elbow room in terms of relax time, just takes a lot out of me.

Though i'm pretty sure there are other factors, this is probably the most major of them.

You should go to the An Advice thread.

[Police Girl]

Very funny.

Robots can't give advice on life.

Reploids can give advice on life.

Fixed.

... Still artificial life.

Hence robot

God this episode of Worst Cooks in America looks like a train wreck for one team.

I don't have time to do "new" things.

For some reason this make me think of origami, don't ask why.

I think a artificial life is still life.

Reploids aren't robots. Reploids are more akin to androids then robots, because robots are usually basic worker class type beings.

Androids are capable of making music, art, and other things that you have to be sentient to do. More importantly, androids and by proxy reploids are created to be on par with humans.

Fun fact: Cyborgs are the happy medium between androids and robots.

Agreed!

I can do that.

[Police Girl]

Okay, so tell me.

Do reploids have anything organic about them?

Nope.

Actually, I don't care. What's the point of this?

Um, their faces.

Because we can.

Why does something need to have something organic to be intelligent?

It's not about what they're made of, it's what's on the inside.  They have emotions, can make decisions not based on programming, and are sentient unlike drones.  Therefore they are alive.

Does Dolores from Z.O.E Dolores, i count? She's a mecha but sentient.

[Police Girl]

Then i guess i'm a robot then.

Because I don't feel alive. I feel like everything I do is part of a routine.

Because we can.

Shittiest reason to continue a discussion.

[Sakura Leic]

I've only read a wiki about that, but I consider her and ADA to be alive.

Even a robot is alive in my eyes.

That's interesting, I guess there isn't anything keeping robots from being put in say the same category as animals. Or would that be speciest of me?

Personally, if androids existed I'm picking an android to live over a robot any day of the week.

Now, when you say alive in the case of robots do you mean sentient?

[Sakura Leic]

I only consider drones, ie Mechaniloids, to be in that category.

I was editing my post when you responded so I'll just ask in this post.

In a life or death situation is it better for a robot or an android to live?

Cyborgs don't count because they are already partially human by definition.

If you're a robot, then I'm gay. Plus I'd hack you to stop being a grouchy-pants.

Seconded, it's becoming a chore reading his posts.

I've been diagnosed with medical depression before, and I never let that stuff slip into online interactions. So it gets grating.

I'm sorry if you have depression or something dude, I know what it's like. I guess it's just strange for me to see what I felt but coming from other people. It's quite uncanny to be honest.

I don't know what else to say other than if I come off as a dick to you it's because I don't want people putting themselves down for years like I did and still do sometimes. Try to be optimistic, I know it's hard, it takes effort, but you have to make it happen in your head, no one is going to do it for you. Trust me, I know.

I really can't answer that.  Either way either the human dies or the what made what that robot was, memories and experiences, are gone.  Sure you may be able to recover the body of the robot, but it won't be the same person ever again.
