What the hell: Could a robot-child treat Pedophilia? - Polidicks

No clue why I read robot-chicken in the title like 5 times

[QUOTE=isnipeu;45436219]The aim of this is to prevent real kids from being molested, and if you are fine with abusing a kid you are obviously lacking morals.[/QUOTE] If you rape a child there are more issues with your mental state than just being a pedophile. Being attracted to children by itself isn't the deciding factor whether or not to molest a child.

No one has the right to stop someone from fucking a robot in their own bedroom.

[QUOTE=isnipeu;45436297]I'm not sure if you're just expanding on my point or if I said something that indicated/implied it was just pedopilla only, but I agree with you.[/QUOTE] I was adding on to what you said.

i was kinda expecting something more like this "Step inside my automobile, young, fresh, child. I have sugary treats for you!" [i]"Gee mister, that sure sounds keen!"[/i] "Now, why don't you remove that shirt for me?" [i]"Golly mister, that sounds a bit [b]REHABILIATION SYSTEMS: ENGAGED. DEPLOYING ANTI-GENITAL BUZZSAWS. COMPLIANCE WILL REDUCE CHANCES OF AN ACCIDENTAL ARTERY CUT."[/b][/i] *whirring* *shrieking*

Sex dolls of this type exist. It may provide a preferable solution for avoiding the many negative associations that you find with real human characteristics. They are customizable No need to coax person Full control No worry about hurt feelings Cared for or not, maintenance easy Do not disapprove Almost completely realistic There are many more examples and it wouldn't be so inconceivable for people to lean towards having an uncomplicated, compromise able middle ground where they can for the most part, play out there interests in a less dangerous manner.

That could be very detrimental to the individual’s cognitive understanding.” The emergence of pedo-bots would likely reinforce pedophilic behaviors, sending the confusing message that sex with (robot) children is totally OK but sex with (human) children is not... ...The answer, according to Gotch, is that “having that sublimation through a robot may, for some, actually increase their difficulties with their arousal patterns rather than meeting those needs." In other words, she argues that child sex bots are pretty likely to redirect pedophilic interests back toward human children, rather than satisfying the desire outright.[/quote] Sex robots won't actually lead to any kind of catharsis, they'll just create reward patterns associated with seeking out sex and stimulate desires that they themselves, in the long run, are unable to fulfill. The way to go about treating pedophiles is by giving them guidance and resources that will allow them to sublimate their interest in children into healthier sexual and non-sexual pursuits, not giving them a vehicle that will stimulate and reward their illicit fantasies.

Paedophiles are attracted to children, not robots that look like children. Not gunna work.

How about instead of making them fuckable. It's used as a way of controlling urges instead?

So basically these people completely forgot about loli porn and just decided to build a child fuckbot instead ?

I really don't care. If no actual child abuse is involved at any point, it's none of my business. I apply the same logic to jerking it to loli porn somebody drew in Photoshop. Child abuse is illegal, fantasizing isn't. As far as I'm concerned, a child sexbot is just a big, overpriced sex toy.

Fantasy will never be as good as the real thing. It's better to direct Pedophiles towards fantasies that are as far from the real thing as possible.

I remember this being a story in chuck palahniuk's haunted

Yeah, but like Methadone, if you fall off the horse, you fall off it hard, into some young lads bum.

We're going to need a hell of a lot better robots if we're going to satisfy them, rather than just reinforcing dangerous behavior while still leaving them unfulfilled. The problem with this idea isn't that robots can't be a solution, the problem is that we're nowhere near the level of technology to make them a solution. Machines just aren't realistic enough yet, especially in speech.

AI is the hardest of all things to program and we don't even fully understand our own brains, much less are we capable of emulating them. Even with much more powerful computers we're still at the mercy of the limitations of human programmers.

[QUOTE=artDecor;45436094]im all for whatever works and doesn't get anyone hurt, but when the robot uprising happens, they'll never let us live this shit down[/QUOTE] Just imagine a bunch of stained limping child robots crawling up a big japanese dystopian headquarters the CEO is in his office, shotgun at the ready.

Some blokes beat the Turing Test somewhat recently. It wasn't proper AI by any stretch, they sort of cheated by making the AI act like an adolescent kid, and since kids act like stupid dunces half the time anyway, it was relatively easy to trick people into thinking it was real. Given a specific circumstance with a simplistic subject (young kids), it's possible that they could make the robots behave realistically within a reasonable time frame. I'd be more worried about realistic body language, movement, and appearance.

[QUOTE=Gwoodman;45436012]Imagine the guys that have to build artificial private parts of children and test them for pedos Yeah this will work already :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] Make them meat grinders. Problem solved.

[QUOTE=ScottyWired;45436003]Is that the slogan they'll be using? And I feel sorry for the poor souls who have to build the things. "What do you do for a living?" "Build AI destined to be raped by a sweaty middle age man"[/QUOTE] "I save children for a living."

[QUOTE=DrDevil;45436016]Pedophilia is a mental illness, and it has to be treated as such. If this is one way to treat it, why the fuck not? It doesn't harm anybody, and the people with pedophilia get the help they need.[/QUOTE] tbh, is because people tend to confuse the many definitions of pedophilia. I don't see the issue with at least trying what the scientist dude is suggesting, who knows... maybe it will work, its certainly better than the "scour pedophiles from the earth" attitude folks have which will never work, and if it the robot idea works, they WILL be saving children by proxy.

This won't work... it's only holding back the temptations until they feel they're ready to try the real thing. This is a mental illness, and letting them do it is not treating it. Helping them stop the urges is treating it.

But knowing that would just put whoever is responsible somewhere down as low as a pedophile, a murderer, I think we should just do the most right thing and lock them up in a mental institution forever. You can't shake off someone's paraphillia. Edit: Why was I rated dumb? These guys don't deserve to live at all.

do people seriously believe that these robots are a bad idea the alternative is [b][i]having their only option be fucking REAL kids[/b][/i] if they're that far inclined. what would you rather do, thought-police everyone so that we can throw all pedophiles in jail?

Another thing is that it's not like the only option here is to just sell them as relief for pedophiles while it's not that at all. There's a lot of research to do on these people, there's therapy that can be tried, and you kinda need an object they can interact with that will trigger the right reaction, and it's not exactly like you can use a real kid for that.

i think that the only way pedophilia will ever be able to have a "healthy" sexual outlet would be if adult people could temporarily change their bodies into that of children but that is so sci-fi that we'll probably have actual virtual reality which could basically serve the same purpose
