How do androids emphasize with others? Do they have feelings? Is empathy shown by a change of expression or a tremor in the voice? How can we differentiate between real and fake emotions? By mimicking others we can understand them better. We can Imitate them but people like sociopaths cant usually not understand. Is it the same with Androids?
When is a product labelled as speculative design? There is no hard line but a fluid transition. For me, it depends on the difference between having data on a subject and first needing to gather the Data. There are proven concepts and technology and doing improvements to established technology isn’t speculative but by putting it into a new context we need to reassess its use. We first need to test it again. We speculate on its use again without being sure what will happen.
We now have some of the designs in the past that were speculative designs that are now real. Are they still speculative design? Not all will eventually come true because they are so outlandish or useless.
AI relies on data fed by Humans. If we start to rely on AI will we eventually become stagnant as a species? After all, at the moment, AI doesn’t iterate on concepts but just rearranges information in a requested way.
