Not really a Debate thread topic...

I dunno, I think they'de be called a "nature fanatic" lol
cause robots aren't made from nature if you know what I mean, other than that, I dunno, would robots be considered a race in the future? we can only wait, but until then, I wouldn't know what to call people against robots.

When I first saw this thread I laughed. But after thinking about it and seeing what Dreadhawk wrote, they would have to be a race in order for someone to be racist towards them. But hating a robot is almost like hating your computer.

True say and everything we use is a machine. So we cant be racist and be using them.

IF u said that u r racist to A.I then that's something to be said. But again everything has sort of thinking.

The dictionary defines racism as "hatred or disdain towards a person of a different race or nationality"... yeah, keyword - 'person' ... I would call hatred towards AI or robots to be anti-mech or something along those lines.

Well, when we get to the point where AI becomes self-aware, they are going to defelope their own personalities and feelings, so how much diferent would they be from a person besides being constructed by different means? Would it be racism then?
