Philosophical Questions posed to the Blockland Forums

a: The question posed to the BLF
b: A summary of the community's response
c: My take on the response


1a. Our first question is going to be a difficult one for the future, "Can robots give consent?" Consent in this context referring to sex with a robot. With the advances in AI, and the possibility of self-aware, sentient, and sapient AI, this will likely become a huge political and ideological issue.

1b. The community's answers mostly depended on whether or not said robot/AI was indeed self-aware, sentient, and sapient, or not. A few argued that regardless, they would be considered objects to be owned.

1c. Further questioning into more specifics are needed to gain a clearer image of what people would think of it.
