SoylentNews is people

The concept of AI—specifically of the foxy, sexualized persuasion—has permeated pop culture for a very long time, most recently exemplified with Alex Garland's Ex Machina.

Technology, as it is wont to do, continues surging forward, simultaneously beckoning or threatening (depending on personal outlook) the potential of true artificial intelligence. And should these AI rise up, what kind of role would sexuality and sexual identity play in their existence—if at all? Hopes&Fears corralled a group of varied experts to weigh in through a group panel discussion to see what the future holds for us, the AI... and our respective crotch parts.

What does the SoylentNews community think about this?

    there's more to women

    Like what? Having a meaningful conversation with?

    Let me quote someone:

    The only girls with good personalities who are smart or maybe funny or halfway intelligent or even talented - though god knows what the fuck that means - are ugly chicks.

    And this is because they have to make up for how fucking unattractive they are.

    Personality and attractiveness are not inversely proportional. In reality, they're not related in any way. There are plenty of beautiful women with beautiful personalities, but they're never single because they're so great. What you're left with after all the good women get snatched up is all the uggos, ugly in either personality, looks, or both, which is why they're single. Since all the good women are taken, it gives the appearance that these uggos are all there is to women, but its not true, its just an example of sampling bias.

    Full Quote:

    Craig McDermott: If they have a great personality and they're not great looking... then who fucking cares?

    Patrick Bateman: Well, let's just say hypotetically ok? What if they have a great personality?

    [pause, all laugh]

    Patrick Bateman: I know, I know.

    [all in unison]

    Patrick Bateman, Craig McDermott, David Van Patten: There are no girls with good personalities.

    David Van Patten: A good personality consists of a chick with a little hard body, who will satisfy all sexual demands without being too slutty about things, and who essentially will keep her dumb fucking mouth shut.

    Craig McDermott: The only girls with good personalities who are smart or maybe funny or halfway intelligent or talented, though god knows what the fuck that means, are ugly chicks.

    David Van Patten: Absolutely.

    Craig McDermott: And this is because they have to make up for how fucking unnattractive they are.
