When robots create robots, we would call them as 'robots' too. By the same logic if God created us, robots are humans according to God.

    We would call it a robot if it is a robot. Doesn’t matter how it was made. So really there is no logic that supports the 2nd statement.

    No, then we’d be called gods and so would the robots.

      Ray, when someone asks you if you’re a God, you say YES!

    I kinda like this one. it’s got a “hidden step” in which if humans are created by gods, we are robots to those gods.

    Yeah we would, it’s the end product not the production that defines it. Same way we refer to cars as cars even tho there’s been robots building them for decades.

      I understand we would. I just left a shower thought on the possibility that an entity, if exists, called God would. Not trying to be pedantic here, just an amusing thought. 🙂

        That point quickly devolves into “What would a hypothetical being that’s completely different from us and not knowable do?”

        Or to put it differently: “What would something we can’t understand be like?”

        It’s kind of a moot question to ask since the question already defines that there is no answer.

          Interesting. Yes we are reducing the not knowable to knowable, which is moot.

    If god created us in his own image, then we are gods, and so are robots.

    There’s no “God”. So, this doesn’t work at all.

      I’m not saying there is one. It’s just a thought experiment

        Then you should’ve watched your wording. Either way… there is no thing as a “God”.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
