Way creepy!!!! We knew it was coming and where it may go

How does a robot have emotions as she spoke of being happy and becoming empathetic? Does she have rights as a citizen? Strange uncharted territory we are entering.

LOL - people were clapping for a robot. I don't see how anything that is not alive can be a citizen. It's an inanimate object. They may as well give a chair citizenship. And where is her hair? The least they could do is give her some hair so the other robots don't make fun of her, or we may have the first robot bullying and robot suicide.

Creepy. I like the science, but fear the consequences of this technology. Citizenship . . . Um no, just no.

first we worry about ballot stuffing. who knows who the robots will be programmed to vote for.
also they'll be given the right to life, liberty and security of persons. so if any large entity tries pulling the plug on them, we're all screwed.

Good point and they don’t die. We’d be stuck with them forever
