Alive .... ?

I'm just saying that if a Robot could be considered alive it would have to think and act like a human being able to even overturn its own programming.

That is the only way to really begin to think it is alive.

Oh, well, fair enough.

Like you know being made up of cells.

Therefore if Robots can live there has to be a stepping stone where we could judge such a thing.

Think like Matrix AIs

Depends on how you define "alive"

You guys want to know something funny?

The reason Scoob originally made this thread was in an attempt to show that robotic stuff was as much "alive" as we are, so that we'd have more freedom with Space Phantom in the last partner tourney.

Yeah, the underhanded debating techniques were hilarious. I remember specifically quoting DC from that thread in order to use his own words against him so that they couldn't object to Cpt. Universe Thor

I liked Picards defence of Data in that one episode of ST:TNG, he based his arguments on whether or not the machine was self aware..
