Just when I thought I had seen every KC video on the interwebs... I guess that I should have known better.
Thank you for pointing me further down the rabbit hole!

--- Quote from: artag on 06 Dec 2018, 08:05 ---What's with all the robo-emotion ?
We had Bubbles blushing about falling for Faye, then Beepatrice's embarrassment about human sex toys (which she herself comments on), now Roko getting upset about Bubbles' poorly-considered joke.
Aren't AIs capable of seeing past this sort of reaction ? Or are they deliberately crippled to make them more acceptable to humans ?
Sorry if it's an old question. It's just something I noticed a lot recently and joined up here to ask about.

First of all, why do you consider the showing of emotions to be crippling?
Secondly, why shouldn't AI display emotions? Why shouldn't AI become a little more human? After all, their main purpose is to interact with humanity, to learn and grow.
Besides which, it adds to the comedy of the situation.
Is it cold in here?:

Welcome, new person!
It's a mystery why the AIs have the same emotions in the same proportions and intensity as the humans. There's a thread from I think a year or two ago where another curious new person started a great discussion about it.
This isn't it but it's on the same topic

If you give AI emotions, those will sometimes be overwhelming. That's the thing with emotions. You seem to consider AI shouldn't have emotions, but then, they simply couldn't interact with humans the way they do in the comic, but would rather just be sophisticated computer system like we know them in the real world. Is giving AI emotions what you call "crippling"?
themacnut:
I like that the AI in QC have emotions and can express them freely. But there comes a point where they can become too emotional and human-like, to the point where Jeph could have swapped out Bubbles and Roko for Faye and any other character, even a "meatbag" ex-cop. IMO AI should be more in control of their emotions than humans are, maybe able to even turn them off completely if necessary; this could be one of the differences (maybe advantages?) between them and us.
