The End of Humanity

In a blog post of the same title on Monday, Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) speculated about the inevitable development of humanoid robotics:

Today I will ask you the most frightening question you will ever see on the Internet. It's a hypothetical, just for the guys. QUESTION: Hypothetically, in the future, if a sex doll robot was indistinguishable from a human woman, and you weren't in a relationship with a human, would you tap the robot?

Last month, I was asking myself (and you) a similar question:

So, when the day comes that a robot is indistinguishable from a human...will a distinction be made between human/human adultery/fornication and human/robot adultery/fornication?

One of these days these will be relevant questions. Today, Adams reports the results of his poll:

In yesterday's post, I asked how many of you guys would have sex with a robot if it was indistinguishable from a hot human woman. About 95% of the hetero guys said they would. The other 5% expressed a strong preference for lying.
