I find people preaching this or that is ‘impossible’ because apparently they’re experts on the subject quite amusing. We have no clue what is or isn’t possible when it comes to technology. We know what is or isn’t possible with current technology. Take a trip back to 1917 and ask them what they thought will never be possible. Our level of technology isn’t sitting idle, it’s evolving constantly, far faster than ever before in human history. I think of my childhood in the 70’s and 80’s and think of all the advancements that have taken place in just four and a half decades. Now imagine 2117.

Like I said, I'm not an artist myself, so...yeah.
In my humble opinion, I'd say art is a "tangible representation of human emotion"(?). That's what it seems like to me, anyways. Does music not evoke emotions? Film? Photography? Stuff like that.
There are humans that simulate emotions, too. We call them psychopaths, or introverts.χρήστος ανέστη

Have you looked at the links I shared earlier regarding philosophical zombies? It's not exactly about robots but I think it's somewhat connected to this topic.
I would agree emotion fuels a lot of art. I'm not sure if it is always the case that art is a representation of emotion.

Maybe we aren't pushing ourselves far enough here, maybe this needs a new angle... can a person become a robot? And if they can and do, can they be used and treated like property. If so, is this already happening? Has it happened to you?

So people who don't believe in God aren't real humans?
So you see emotion as distinctly human? I have read that (at least) some animals also experience emotion. Does that qualify them for human status?
These are not sensible or workable criteria for humanity.
A worthwhile question. Years ago I had a temp job doing data entry in a mail order company. I sat near the people taking orders over the phone. Their side of the conversations - the side I could hear - was entirely predictable; a pleasant female voice reciting numbers over the phone. I had exactly that impression then, namely that we would sooner turn people into robots than the opposite.Though the ground was burnt and everything turned into ashes, we will revive again. The sky is still blue, the crashing waves from long ago are unchanged. This is Earth, our planet. This dream is in the hearts of people; so long as they do not abandon it, it will not fade away. For the sake of tomorrow, keep a song in your heart. For the sake of our future, let us stop our crying and stand on our ground firmly. ~MayaQlip liked this post
