Watch this video by a researcher who is demoing simulated #robot emotional body language. I think this research is Incredibly dangerous. We are giving machines the ability to manipulate us on an unconscious level. We WILL respond to them because we can’t help it. The robot’s loyalty, love, understanding is entirely fake because they don’t “feel”. If the robot expressions gave us honest insight into its real internal state, then it might be helpful. But I think what you would see, today, is complete indifference. I cannot see that changing.

@meltedcheese This raises some interesting questions about why the robots must "feel" to be genuine. How is that different than someone mindlessly saying "Bless you" after someone sneezes. Do they mean it? Or have they been programmed (heh) to say it automatically? Or any other social common courtesies, for that matter. Better yet, what about someone with autism that doesn't pick up social cues and just goes through the motions for social interactions based on their observances?
