So I guess you didn't see the strip where he found out about Dora and Tai?
Can you honestly tell me he was overjoyed at that revelation?

Oh boo hoo. The person I went on one date with months ago is dating someone. What kind of screwed up entitled worldview does it take to have that in anyway be her fault?

--- End quote ---
He won't do it, and rightfully so : If I am not mistaken, robots, in the QC verse, have rights similar to humans. Sending pintsize to be formatted would be the equivalent of sending people to reformation camps or any other brain-washing organization.

They're ROBOTS. Nonliving pieces of inorganic machinery designed and built by humans. They're essentially nothing more than appliances. Property for humans to do with as they will. The notion that robots deserve any sort of "civil rights" is patently absurd.
--- End quote ---
Not in the QC universe.
Also the "They're essentially nothing more than appliances. Property for humans to do with as they will." Is how slaves were classified.

Yes yes, we get it. Dora can never do wrong in your eyes.

So what? In the QC-verse, scientists have succeeded in giving AI a intelligence/consciousness equivalent to humans, thus giving robots (meeting that human-AI criteria) rights. That's why they have robot prisons, for instance. And no, the idea of giving civil rights to such robots is far from absurd, and could be debated in many philosophical ethics books/researches/thesis.

Nice straw man argument. Dora has done plenty wrong. Breaking Jim's heart is not among them. I am curious as to what mindset could interpret otherwise.
