What made Asimov such a prolific writer?

Do you think that he himself was possibly a humaniform robot, like Daneel?

Do you think robots will soon be able to write original stories and novels that we will enjoy?

Is there any reason why they couldn't?

What are the consequences of their creativity surpassing that of humans?

Too much quality entertainment for one person to keep up with?

Is it possible that humans would cease being creative if their creations couldn't compete with those of robots?

Is it possible for truly creative people to stop being creative?

Would people listen to human-generated music if it were inferior to robot-generated music?

Do people listen to live acoustic guitars instead of studio-produced synthesizer music?

How soon until it become legal to marry a robot?

If Asimov had lived, do you think he would have written "Robot Marriage" as a follow up to "Robot Dreams" and "Robot Visions?"

scottydog · Post by **scottydog** » Mon Jan 14, 2019 11:04 pm

Who knows what he would have written had he not died at such a (relatively) young age?

In the future, if you married a sentient artificial life form, should you have the right to alter its program on occasion (e.g., "Computer. Make Sally more outgoing")?

Wouldn't a sentient artificial intelligence have the same privacy and self-determination rights as a meat person?

scottydog · Post by **scottydog** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 2:35 pm

If you had to guess, how many years from now will we legally grant robots the same rights as meat people?

My YouTube Page · Post by **RJDiogenes** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 10:36 pm

Will we grant them or will the robots take them by force?

scottydog · Post by **scottydog** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 10:39 pm

Will the only surviving humans (or nations) be those who are able to wrest control of the robots?

My YouTube Page · Post by **RJDiogenes** » Thu Jan 17, 2019 10:47 pm

Will we survive by becoming the robots?

All these unintended negative consequences of technological advancement.... do they explain the Fermi Paradox?

My YouTube Page · Post by **RJDiogenes** » Fri Jan 18, 2019 10:51 pm

Don't you think lack of technology is a more likely explanation?

scottydog · Post by **scottydog** » Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:04 am

Are you suggesting that the vast majority of life in the universe never evolves to the point of technological advancement?

My YouTube Page · Post by **RJDiogenes** » Sat Jan 19, 2019 8:09 pm

Doesn't that make sense, seeing that the vast majority of life on Earth has been single celled, and the vast majority of multi-celled life on Earth has not been technological?

scottydog · Post by **scottydog** » Sat Jan 19, 2019 10:06 pm

So if you believe that evolution usually has a "ceiling", then how is it that on Earth we were able to break the ceiling?

My YouTube Page · Post by **RJDiogenes** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:53 pm

But does evolution proceed toward some goal that involves intelligence and technology or does it just bumble around crazily like the Keystone Cops in response to random stimuli?

scottydog · Post by **scottydog** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 10:19 pm

Does it make me an optimist to believe that evolution has a direction and (while not linear) drives life toward greater complexity and intelligence?
