A year from now a revolutionary new company will make an announcement. That they have created a way to make artificial spouses! Several ways in fact. The two most prominent are robots designed to look just like people as well as specially grown clones genetically programmed to see you as the perfect spouse. Other methods exist such as a spouse that is purely digital in nature and so-forth. They can be customized in terms of personality to suit you and in terms of physical appearence/capabilities within the limits of the method you choose. You won a free voucher for one of these artificial spouses when opening a candy bar up and are currently unmarried (if you are already married). Would you take a robot/clone/AI/whatever else as your husband/wife/whatever?

Nah. Might bang one, though.

Here's what I want to know: would boning a robot count as cheating if you're already involved with someone?

You can have the personality/physical appearence become whatever you want within the limits of the medium you chose your spouse.

Hmmm...

I would say no. But this will likely become blurry in the future.

Are they actually sapient?

Because if they are, making a person genetically programmed to find someone perfect and attractive is creepy as hell.

That.

If it was created people who have their own lives and free will and fall in love with you in a real way? Sure.

I think I would be more concern about other possible ramifications of such beings existing. Kinda reminds me of Bladerunner. These beings will probably be used for manual labor, wars, etc. basically anything society do not want to subject real human beings to.

No doubt some people will feel it is okay to do whatever with these beings since they are not real while some will feel it is morally wrong. It is an area where I personally feel we should not tread into.

And this too. It would be like creating them with Stockholm syndrome.

You have choices as to what sort of spouse you will be gaining. If the idea of a cloned person genetically conditioned (or whatever the term would be) to love you unsettles you there's nothing stopping you from getting a robot or an AI or something else I didn't think of with far more limited intellect that you wouldn't consider sapient or anything of the sort.

As long as their AI was convincing. There was a good episode from the original Twilight Zone about this. Dude started out hating robots, then he fell in love with her.

I won't even marry a natural being, so no.

I'd be perfectly fine with a a robot/clone/AI/whatever else as a live-in friend with benefits if I wasn't in a relationship, though. Though like other people have pointed out, you get into questions of sapience and slavery, so at least some of that is going to depend on both the specific mechanics of the situation as well as societal perception of it. Certain scenarios (robots rather than a specifically bred slave race of clones, for instance) seem like they'd be more acceptable than others.

Then its not really a spouse, you're just marrying a sophisticated sex doll.

There are people in the world today who have literally "married" the concept of anime characters that don't even have tangible existence.

Marrying a literal sex doll is fairly high on the scale of realism.

Joaquin Phoenix is in a film called her that I watched recently. He was in a relationship with a OS. It sounded a very lonely place to be. Still if said A.I is actually android type and are very close to humans while I wouldn't marry them(cus marriage L.O.L) I wouldn't be against having a relationship with one. It's not like humans want me.

Would the clones still be artificial as they are not the real being? Also, based on a number of definitions and synonyms, I think a clone could be considered artificial. Normally, I probably wouldnt have chosen them for this poll, but whatevs...

Couldnt you do either? Like you could clone a fully grown adult into another fully grown adult. And it would be made instead of grown. You could also make a younger version, and then grow it, I would think...

If it's already your property, why would you need to marry it? >_>

And something like that would supplement rather than replace a spouse; granted, if it's a functional but artificially grown human, there's at least some incentive towards a normal relationship although you then have a slew of murky ethical issues because it becomes slavery with extra steps.

I don't think so, aren't clones specifically grown and not made? Now, cloning someone who's an adult and implanting their skills/memories/etc would be made and I think could be considered artificial. But then again, they would have all the things that a human has that makes them human...

Then yes, a clone created specifically to marry someone is artificial.

So like Chobits but it's not taboo. I'd be down for that.

Can I make a clone of myself to have one time sex with myself and dispose of the clone afterwards?
