ha ha...
can a robot evoke an array of emotional responses (from sexual arousal to jealousy) to other robots like this?

how about a robot that can create abstract art that evokes an emotional or intellectual response?

You are moving the goalposts.
What is "Free Will" that it becomes more illusory with more options?

koldo, perhaps you missed this post...
robots are not capable of doing such things....
all robots being equal...
all robots would come to the same conclusion at the same time, learn at the same rate
this is not the case.
poetry, story telling, singing, playing an instrument are abstract expressions

all robots would come to the same conclusion at the same time, learn at the same rate
this is not the case.
Why aren't we robots? We have several dozen systems that work in the background go regulate homeostasis, like a robot would if it was capable of similar functions, and we are each autonomous. Really the only real difference between ourselves and machines are that we have sentience and we are made of carbon, not silicon.

Wow someone invented a robotic automated paintbrush. Its essentially a Rube Goldberg Xerox machine.

I didn't miss that post. I was just picking up the link of a video:
The Originals Factory, A Robot That Makes Abstract Paintings
It is completely possible to build robots that do these things.
All humans being equal, under the same conditions, would come to the same conclusion and learn at the same rate. So?

and is that the reality or our situation? no.
hence the premise of this thread is moot, not to mention pointless.

no it is not.

"in the style of the American abstract expressionism movement."
The Originals Factory is a work in progress fusing together and questioning digital, mechanic and plastic approaches to art, abstraction and originality. It is basically a DIY robot, built and programmed to create landscape paintings in the style of American abstract expressionism.
The computer system uses real time video input to control motor movement and pump actions to release paint drops on a large canvas. The drops are then drawn downwards courtesy of gravity, leaving thin colorful line marks.
tell me what robot can create it's own style of abstract art?

there are programs that can make a singer sing in tune, or fix the tuning of a guitar chord in the actual recorded track of music....
but there are no programs that can make a singer sing with emotion that emotional people can relate to...or play a guitar and move people in the capacity jimi hendrix could...my goodness, he was out of tune a lot...so where the beatles...

Only if you use a strict definition for 'robots'.
Imagine a very advanced machine built 100 years from now, would you not call it a robot because it can do things our current mechanical robots can't?
It is. We already have machines that can reproduce songs ( computers, for example ), and storytelling robots ( [youtube]oEXuH6GzoXo[/youtube]
Personal Robotic Storyteller (English version 2) - YouTube ).
You are moving the goalposts once again.
maybe you are programmed to think you are sentient
now that would be a cruel joke.
Yes it would be, or maybe we're only semisentient? The point being were not so different than machines, hell, you could even argue that cells behave like nanites.

yes i would. because robots are ultimately subjected to OUR knowledge...even though our knowledge is expanding doesn't mean a robot in a 100 yrs from now is anymore than a robot is today.
are robots capable of being self indulgent?
reproducing a song that already exists is not abstract concept...it's basically painting by numbers.
i certainly hope you are not serious. are you suggesting that this robot actually came up with the story on it's own, or was it programmed?
the day a robot can create a story based on it's own imagination is the day robots take over the world.
how so? that has been the point i was making with the 1st post you responded to...
let me remind you...
