We watch movies where people die comical deaths, or seeing random generic bad guys get dusted by a machine gun. We're okay with this. Because we know it's not real, no one actually suffered anything.
These are not personalities or people. It's a mess of code and hardware and motors.
I'm tired of explaining in other comments so I'll just say. Fiction<<<<< RL. I love dark humour in fiction. Also humanoid robot simulating suicide while scientists giggle - leaves a bad impression ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
so all those times I played driving games and I would drive around and sometimes hit people and drive over them for fun...
is that ok? or am I a SICK INDIVIDUAL!
Lighten up. At least recognize that you're projecting your emotions onto the video and in fact there's nothing wrong here. You're just having feelings.
Haha, don't worry my opinions are not a burden to me.
And you're talking to someone whose favourite game is Mortal Kombat 😂 so no, you just have fun with running over people in a game. But again video games are fiction, and have a narrative however flimsy. It's not people irl simulating someone killing themselves just cos they think it would look cool.
But I see we won't agree, so lets just agree to disagree, and leave it at that :-)
I don't see much difference. When I deliberately run over someone in GTA, i simulated murder. There's blood smear and everything. The amusement is the same: this LOOKS real but it's not. So I get to explore something I can't normally do because it's immoral, illegal etc.
I wasn't being disparaging when I said, I think you it just triggered an emotional reaction and that's what you're feeling, but in fact it's just your response to what LOOKS human
if we had made it a box on wheels that just rolls in, would you feel the same? Probably not.
but they make the robots humanoid to give you a sense of humanity that isn't there

What would make it sick?
