So my dad sent me this link today to a music video he found on Technology Review’s blog. Apparently it’s a re-envisioning of several famous artificial intelligences from movies (Hal, Tron, GERTY, Robocop) attempting to express their unrequited affections for the humans they live with, as their personalities grow to encompass feelings such as love.
My dad knows me WAY too fucking well. I don’t even recall ever telling him about any of these interests in conversation, so this is a little SCARY.
It’s like one of those coming out stories where your family already knew for years, because you were so OBVIOUS.
“Mom, Dad… I’m a robophile.”
“Well, DUH.”
