The Voight-Kampff test or anything of its likeness will someday be nessasary, My only wonderment of it is "Why will we need to test for the Robots?"
Really, to me it isn't interesting or important to discuss sex with a Robot.
This is a great Comment - asking about "Linux" Really? The short of it is of course it could run linux! But would you need to? Maybe the bot could do it better his/or herself
I think such projects as BOTS and Bio-mimicry Robots are Brillant efforts. That should be agreed to easily enough.
How long before such bots are asked to sit as consultants in board meetings for companies such as "Rosen corporation' (the robot manufacturer depicted in Philip K. Dicks Do androids dream of electric sheep?)
My original comment was to an effect of commentary on an experience of interaction with the personallity of such a bot. How entertaining and interactive are they, and how can we maximize the interactive practicality? I have spent an hour or two chatting online with bots derived from ALICE. And those bots are dated to the early millenium. Wouldn't It be curious to interact with your own bot? A bot that could suggest a course of action derived from your own past experience? Who wouldn't want a buddy that can calculate Pi to the millionth digit.
