sorry if I assumed the empathy was anything other than 'intellectual'
respect ! ;) I think it was something to do with you mentioning your
sister liked animals or rescued them or something...
 
getting back to the movie AI, Asimov wrote further on some of these
issues, check out I, Robot
 
I think there are still plenty of marginalised classes but I see your
point that should AIs become sentient they may well join the bottom of
the heap...but do they have to be sentient for this to be an issue ?
 
thanks for the debate
 
Tim

	To clarify: my sister's identification with and empathy for the
bot in her office was not based upon it being physically realistic or a
'cute' little factotum, rather it was a function of the bot's being able
to differentiate between phrases and intentions and present itself as an
intelligent 'being'...for example when she asked it if it would like a
cookie, it asked her if she meant the file that contains information
about the user on a computer or the edible kind.
	Should bots be exempted from humane treatment if they are deemed
'stupid' or are they the new marginalized class?
