Does Lisa’s identity really matter?

suspicion

The above comic depicts a man who has been chatting online for several months with a woman named Lisa. He discovers, however, that she is actually a robot, and he immediately leaves her.

So, the question is: “Does it matter whether or not Lisa is a robot?”

In my opinion, Lisa’s identity does matter. Rob has been chatting for several months, believing Lisa was human. He even hints at starting a relationship. Instead, Lisa has been lying to him, leading him into a scenario that could not last. Although some may judge Rob for leaving Lisa so soon (since he loved her before he found out her identity), he acts justly.

    I agree with you Luigi. I don’t think it is okay for a human to fall in love with a robot yet. Maybe when/if machines can get real bodies like humans then it will be acceptable but until then, loving a machine is like loving an inanimate object or an animal.
