Robot Roll Call [Video]

[lootsnshoots]

So I've been doin' some thinkin' and it's like, way late for this question but how many fellow bucketheads we got 'round here, anyway? I'm talkin' your 'bots, droids, whatever you call 'em. I'll be generous and include super intelligent AI, but you're on thin ice.

And if every other robot has ported out you are free to tell me 'bout how robots work for you back where you're from, and how much cooler and more handsome I am than them. Actually you're free to tell me that anyway because let's face it, it's me.

I used to have a Roomba, if that counts.

[lootsnshoots]

Did you duct-tape a knife to it and make it fight other Roombas?

[storyseeker]

Shit. That's a missed opportunity.

Do I qualify?

[ Hello again, Cayde. ]

[lootsnshoots]

[Cayde rubs his chin and hums through his modulator, pretending to think it over.]

Weellll ...

[He laughs, and drops the act.]

'Course you count, Danger.

[cannotrest]

[Oh hey, it's a part robot who's getting more okay with that.]

I've told you about the killer robots from my world, but did I ever tell you about the robot dogs?

video

[lootsnshoots]

Uh no? You haven't? I'm hurt, Ash, how could you keep robo puppies from me?

[He is extremely kidding.]

[codeoracle]

I'm not a robot, but I could make them.


I'm working on an AI.

[lootsnshoots]

Cool. What kinda AI?

Query: is the implication that the AI belonging to < bots, droids, whatever you call them > are not super intelligent by default?

text

[lootsnshoots]

Yeah. When I'm talkin' super-intelligent I mean 'solar-system spanning autonomous defense system' super-intelligent.

Since me and my warframe definitely don't count, I could tell you about some cephalons back home!

Ordis is my ships cephalon, he's a little buggy but he's amazing. Like family, worries about me and helps me get whatever I need built.

There's also Cy, Jordas, Suda, Simaris, Sark, and a bunch of others. They're all AI's, really, but you don't really get actually robotics unless you look at MOA's or osprey's that the Corpus use.

[lootsnshoots]

Oooh a bot that can help you build, that's always handy. How advanced is the ai on it? Full sense of self or nah?

[unrepentantsoul]

This one does not know what it is the metal faced one is speaking of, so she must assume she is not one. But would the metal faced one be kind enough to explain?

[lootsnshoots]

[Cayde's eyes glow a smidge brighter as he stops and cocks his head to the side to take in a talking cat.]

... Kitty! I mean, there's that one girl with the ears but you're a whole cat!

[Which is to say, he's going to be the opposite of helpful here.]

[redcosmedic]

Drones. We called unsparked constructs "drones".

voice;

[lootsnshoots]

Mm-hmmm. Yeah. That tells me not a whole lot, bud. Walk it back a notch, tell me 'bout what you mean by "unsparked."

[callmevision]

I am a synthezoid most mistake for a robot.

[lootsnshoots]

[He brings up his fingers next to his ears for the purposes of making airquotes.]

"Synthezoid?"

Buddy. Pal. Shiny red-faced friendo. I just can't take that seriously.

[fauxmarth]

[a few hours after posting:] Well, Cayde? Did you find some interesting answers from the Network? What brought on this, anyway?

voice

[lootsnshoots]

Well, I discovered a lotta robots don't like bein' called robots.

[Not that she can see it, but he shrugs.]

I'm used to more 'bots bein' around in general, I guess.

[bifroster]

I'm not a robot or anything like that, but I do appreciate them. Especially as sentient beings and would love to learn more about them and how they view the universe.

[Is that okay?]

[lootsnshoots]

That is very open-minded positive perspective but I'm afraid I don't have any radically non-human machine takes on life, the universe, and everything because I am human.

[He taps his forehead.]

In here, anyway.

[ Luther hesitates before replying with video, rather than switching to text as he usually does. But everyone else is, and Cayde is on Aegis so he's already seen this guy around, and there's other far-less-human people responding, so... Video it is. ]

My mom was a robot. Although we didn't think of her that way.

[lootsnshoots]

Didn't think of her as what? Your mom? Or as a robot?
