I occasionally see comments to the effect of, "Oh, really? Can you tell me more about that?"

Fuck. Am I a bot?

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, really? Can you tell me more about that?

[–] count_duckula@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've got news for you, mate. You might be a bot. Have you visited your neighbourhood robotologist to get a diagnosis?

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 8 points 4 weeks ago

And maybe consider a robotomy.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I saw a pretty good short sci-fi film a year or so ago about a woman accidentally finding out that she's a bot.

[–] Mozingo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Bro you can't just say that and not mention the name. What was it?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Different book, but try We are legion (we are Bob)

[–] matsdis@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's a good book, not terribly deep but very much fun to read. I'm sure bots thinking they are human has been done several times. First show that comes to mind is Westworld, which is kind of centered around that idea.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Only the more recent TV show. The original westworld film was more like Terminator.

I would pick blade runner as the classic bot / human confusion.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Bob only thinks hes human for about half a page?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I would argue he humanity lasts much longer, only losing it after a lot of generational drift.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not denying that, but the comment above is talking about a story about a woman discovering she's a bot,.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

As does Bob. I'm not sure what the specific point you are trying to make here. Do you want longer before the twist is revealed? Because this conversation already let that cat out of the bag.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wish I could remember. It was definitely on YT. I think it was in German with subtitles. It wasn't long. Possibly was someone's film school project.

Bruh. I'm in the Netherlands.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bingo! That's the one.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought you were talking about Blade Runner.

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Deckard was a dude tho

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I wasn't sure if 2049 had a girl in it.

[–] Mozingo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Awesome! Thank you!

[–] Hackworth@piefed.ca -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Westworld

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

Whatever happened to that show?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Can I ask you a question?

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
