The human body is overrated.

we really don't have the technology to build a robot that does all the stuff humans can do

Honda has one out, so yes, we do, and the technology is completely replicatable.

It can give birth?

Clearly not, but the equipment can be replicated, and "offspring" can be created.

Can the robot do this itself without human help?

[Conserative Morality]

Can the robot do this itself without human help?

It could probably be programmed to do so.

If it had the knowledge, yes it probably could.

I'd rate the body of a human female very highly...

No, but it could be.

If it hasn't been done, then it is not current technology. I only said that current technology could not do everything the human body can. I said nothing about the potential for the future.

It would only take about 10 mins to upload the software required, lol. We already have "robots" that manufacture things for us, so why would this be any different?

I'm sure she would do the same thing for you.....

Irrelevant, modern technology has the ability to program a robot to do such things. Your objection is akin to saying modern technology cannot launch me out of a catapult, as I have not been launched yet.

But we could still launch you.......Would you like to be launched? xD

Nice use of passive voice there. What you are obscuring is that the robot, contrary to the claim that it can "do" all this stuff, cannot do any of it; humans have to do for it.

Naw, its actualy roaming around Canada right now lol. All on its own...I'm so proud :')

But people have made catapults and launched stuff, even if it wasn't you. I'm sure someone has launched a person before.

I'm pretty sure they haven't made a robot that can do everything a human being can, or written software that would tell a robot how to build a copy of itself without human help. Even the most heavily automated factories still require humans to maintain the machinery and find and bring in the raw materials. Writing software to tell a robot how to do that is much more complex and requires a lot more innovative thinking than placing you into a catapult and firing it.

In a way the line between what current technology can do and what is possible in general is a little blurry because obviously we can use current technology to train people to be scientists and engineers who will invent the technology of the future. I'm talking about what people already know how to do without making any new innovations. We already know how to make and use a catapult, although getting you into it if you did not want to be launched could pose a small problem.

Are you kidding!? Tell a guy he'll get $1,000,000,000 if he survives then fling him into a wall xD

Catapult win.

Anyways, lol, It is entirely possible to do it without "innovations", writing a new file or program wouldn't nessicarily be an innovation, it would just be new software, which has become annoyingly normal in this society ><

College students talk about sex more than they actually have it.

Fair enough, but does that really imply that they are virgins?

Even if you haven't been able to figure things out yet, it is obvious that you have a lot of abstract philosophical stuff going on in your head, which doesn't mix well with casual sex.

What exactly is the contradiction though?

I should clarify, when I say "less common than popular culture would have you believe" I am talking about the number of people who have casual sex, not the amount of it they have.

... so are you basically saying that fewer people have casual sex than "popular culture would have you believe" (how many is that exactly?) but that those people have about as much of it as "popular culture would have you believe"?

Can the robot do this itself without human help?

It could probably be programmed to do so.

Forget reproduction---Honda has a robot that can finish an Iron Man triathlon, bake a souffle, talk its way out of a speeding ticket and make love til the sun comes up?

Where the hell do you GET one?

They only MADE one. Probably for that specific reason xD

But the technology IS there.

If you wrote software that could tell a robot how to go out into the world and acquire the raw materials and build a new robot from scratch, that would be an innovation.

Alright, I need a computer geek to take it from here, my major is in business xD

Hell, I'd be happy to see an example of just ONE robot baking a souffle.
