Robots may cause violence. Robots don't have emotions.

The end.

Again, I don't view violence as a negative thing, it's a consequences, just like everything else, cause and effect. Just for some reason if you tell that to someone who is anti-war you will get a dirty look.

if u dont think it's negative, why make an argument on it with you're teacher? if you simply think it's a consequence, why go through the trouble of trying to make your teacher agree with you on something that you both actually agree on after all? if you're not against the violence that emotion brings, why try to turn the statement at hand around?

No they can't, unless programmed to do so, in which the intent lays with the programmer.

---

Yes they can. Programs =/= emotions.

I beat your argument. Not all violence is caused by emotion.

I can conceive a scientist bored one day, and wanted to see if he could create a program where the robot will smash anything with an expiration date like cartons of milk. However, this robot calculates that humans have an expiration date and start smashing them.

I win.

Wait, wait, wait, a statement that is completely accurate is worthless? Since when?

Emotion is what causes every human action.
Also, I fucking hate that book/movie.

You are wrong that emotion causes every action. It is the driving force behind most actions.
reflexes, the subconsious mind, disease, instinct, desire can all lead to action and this is not emotion. Well desire can be argued as an emotion. But I refuted your statement. :)

That would be true if programming was impossible to change either by accident or intention. Anyone who's own a piece for long enough knows that over time their system will start to behave strangely or that software conflicts between two independent packages causes really strange behavior.

Your school sucks. You keep making posts about how you "own" your teachers but your argument are piss. Therefore your teachers are idiots if they can't destroy your asinine attempts.

Way to change your argument. The base criticism against your claim was that non-emotion feeling being, such as robots could cause violence. You claimed that only if they were programmed to do so. The problem is your argument relies on the notion that programming can only be modified by being with emotions. That is factually incorrect as proven by myriads of software conflicts on millions of computers across the planet on a daily basis. We know that software, when put together or left to its own devices for sufficent periods of time act in ways not programmed. Therefore your assumption requiring programming is bunk and you are wrong.
