That girl looks 12 years old, and she is programmed to be a sex toy? We condemn this blatant act of deviancy and immorality, not to mention your endorsement of pedophillia.

EDIT: OOC: Also, I thought you were calling them chObits or something

The Chobits project has been devided into two seperate projects, the Chobits and Chibits projects.
The Chobits project will use a new prototype designated 'Cho'.
The 'Chi' prototype has been allocated to the Chibits project.
The Chobits project will develop fully functional EIs. Chobits will be given full sentient rights.
The Chibits project will develop specialized-function AIs. Chibits will be given AI rights.

Ha hardly, its not sentient, so there is no harm done.

We'll buy some that look like that with a few hair, height, and eye variations. 200 with butler programming, 80 with friend/sexual partners for Yurkan politicians with no time to have a family. And 20 Friend/Bodyguards.

Thelas would like to purchase 200 chibits, 100 males and 100 females, all equipped for espionage use, also programmed for sexual activity. We would appreciate it if the chibits are delivered as soon as possible.

The Confederacy of Ravenspire condemns the international trafficking in intelligent beings which Xanthal is conducting. This is slavery, plain and simple. Those who would participate in this trade are warned that the Ravenspire Spacy cannot guarantee their safety if action should be taken against Xanthal.

Raysia: The Chibits are made to order. The Ministry of Commerce is not concerned with how they are ordered as long as they are.

Yurka: Your quote: $300,000

Thelas: Your quote: $250,000

Ravenspire: Please do not threaten us or our customers. AIs are not intelligent. They mimic sentience, but they are not actually sentient.
OOC: Why do so many people insist that AIs are intelligent, sentient beings? They aren't. Why do you think they're called Artificial Intelligences?

Raysia: The Chibits are made to order. The Ministry of Commerce is not concerned with how they are ordered as long as they are.But you are ADVERTISING the Pedo's Dream version in your primary ad.

OOC: Why do so many people insist that AIs are intelligent, sentient beings? They aren't. Why do you think they're called Artificial Intelligences? [/quote]Umm... The word "artificial" means man-made, or simulated by unnatural means... in no way does that mean they are not similar to the real thing. The key word here is that it is INTELLIGENT, and that means sentient.

If they are not Intelligent or Sentient, then do not falsely label them as Artificial Intelligences.

They are not sentient, nor are they intelligent. They follow their programming, just as every Xanthalian AI. Our ad campaigns are none of your business.

OOC: I've gone over this in other threads. Xanthalian AIs=Not Sentient. Xanthalian EIs=Sentient.

The way I see it, this allows pedophiles to have their dreams without harming (physically, mentally, or otherwise) a child. Isn't that the main reason pedophilia is so frowned upon? If people choose to use a robot for sexual activity instead of using a real child, good for them. The fact that their sexual preference disgusts me is none of my business. (It should be noted that pedophilia is still a crime in TEE and will be for a looooooooooooooong time.)

OOC: I've gone over this in other threads. Xanthalian AIs=Not Sentient. Xanthalian EIs=Sentient.....please, quit misusing words that get people mad.

An Intelligence, in every sense of the word I have ever heard, is either another name for a spirit, or something capable of learning and aquiring knowledge and then applying it and using it. Intelligences are sentient by definition.

If it thinks with logic, and not instinct or original programing, then it is intelligent. An Artificial Intelligence is a man-made intelligence, or unnatural intelligence. What you are describing is not an AI, it is a Mimic Program.

Raysia: You have your terminology, we have ours. We don't ask you to use our definitions. The point is that they are not sentient. Beyond that, you can call them whatever you want.

OK, so they aren't sentient.

But, advertising a resemblance of a 12-year-old girl as a sex toy? We still condem this horrid act. Please, at least change your ad campaign.

Well, no matter how perverse it is, a robotic nonsentient version is much preferred over a sentient one, right?

Well, no matter how perverse it is, a robotic nonsentient version is much preferred over a sentient one, right?It should be outlawed for the same reason as Child Porn.

The Holy Empire of Kecha wishes to express a very strong interest in this, we wish to offer an.....extended contract, of sorts, if you're interested, we'll go into detail.

Well, no matter how perverse it is, a robotic nonsentient version is much preferred over a sentient one, right?It should be outlawed for the same reason as Child Porn.

Okay, yeah... I just looked at the pic again... I see your point.

Okay, yeah... I just looked at the pic again... I see your point.Thank you... It looks like an uber-advanced inflatable sex-toy replica of a 12-year-old girl.

Raysia/Tiburon: Your objections are noted. We have no wish to initiate a conflict, we will remove the Chibit's programming data to purge the 'suggestive' content.

Kecha: Please do.

You siad they could be totally customized, we're in need of something along the lines of Mentats, you know what Mentats are, of course? but we don't just want thinkers.

What do you want, exactly?

Well, I may need to discuss it with you vi a T-Gram or two, OK?

The Presidential House Staff would like 20 Chibits, each one looking 21 years old, female, with big breasts. It must simulate breathing, body heat, pleasure and all other human features. THey will be used for... uh... mating research... yeah... mating research... uh... yup... nothing more that mating research... *cough*

Ravenspire: Please do not threaten us or our customers.


We haven't threatened anyone, yet. We are merely broadcasting a precautionary warning. A threat would involve something a bit more specific. If we should threaten you, you'll know it.

AIs are not intelligent. They mimic sentience, but they are not actually sentient.

We are beginning to believe that Xanthallians mimic sentience but are not actually sentient.

To be brief: You will have to prove this to our satisfaction before we will allow such a trade to proceed unhindered. A true artificial intelligence is indeed sentient, and we are wary of those who attempt to alter definitions to suit other purposes.

Raye Forrester
Minister of State

We'd like to double our order. :twisted:

I want 100 pet chibits with internet!

You will have to prove this to our satisfaction before we will allow such a trade to proceed unhindered. I was not aware it was your decision, the Chibits are Xanthalian creations after all.

Raysia: It's not really his pic, and to be fair, there is a reason why chobits are nicknamed ho-bits.

Kecha: If that is your wish. TG away.

Foe Hammer: Your quote: $200,000

Ravenspire: Xanthalian design schematics are clear, Xanthalian AIs are not sentient. We can assure you that we Xanthalians are sentient, however. We think. Chibits do not. They follow their programming, that is all. Our conversation with you is terminated. You may buy or shun our products as you wish.

Yurka: Your quote: $600,000

Sarviria: Your quote: $100,000

Xanthal: TG.

GalTech Research Inc would like to purchas 30 chobits for combat testing.

we are interest in the purchase of some chibits. however, first we have a few questions.

first, are any training programs available for the programming of chibits. to get the most use out of chibits, we feel that after purchase, and special situation, programming will be required.

second, what is limit of the intelligence of the chibit? in broad terms.

third, would it be possible to purchase a limited production licence of the chibits.

Third, would it be possible to purchase a limited production licence of the Chibits. That's a bloody good question!

Western Might: Your estimate: $30,000.

Industrized Serfs: First: Yes. Second: With optimal programming, a Chobit has 'intelligence' equivalent to an IQ of 110. Third: No.

money wired to off shore Xanthal accounts.

Chibits sent.

sen·tient ( P ) Pronunciation Key (snshnt, -sh-nt)
adj.
Having sense perception; conscious: “The living knew themselves just sentient puppets on God's stage” (T.E. Lawrence).
Experiencing sensation or feeling.



sentient

\Sen"ti*ent\, a. [L. sentiens, -entis, p. pr. of sentire to discern or perceive by the senses. See Sense.] Having a faculty, or faculties, of sensation and perception. Specif. (Physiol.), especially sensitive; as, the sentient extremities of nerves, which terminate in the various organs or tissues.




sentient

\Sen"ti*ent\, n. One who has the faculty of perception; a sentient being.



sentient

adj 1: endowed with feeling and unstructured consciousness; "the living knew themselves just sentient puppets on God's stage"- T.E.Lawrence [syn: animate] [ant: insentient] 2: consciously perceiving; "sentient of the intolerable load"; "a boy so sentient of his surroundings"- W.A.White


You can't argue with those, they're from Dictionary.com.

Having sense perception; conscious: Partly true. Their 'senses' are electronic, and they are conscious as far as their situation, but only as far as their programming.

To discern or perceive by the senses: Been there. No relevence.

Having a faculty, or faculties, of sensation and perception: True. They have sensation and perception, but once again are limited in those by their programming.

One who has the faculty of perception; a sentient being: Using the term to define the term? For shame...

Endowed with feeling and unstructured consciousness: False. No 'feeling', structured consciousness.

Ravenspire: Xanthalian design schematics are clear, Xanthalian AIs are not sentient. We can assure you that we Xanthalians are sentient, however. We think. Chibits do not. They follow their programming, that is all. Our conversation with you is terminated. You may buy or shun our products as you wish.

If what you say is true (we are still examining the schematics to verify), then you are misleading your customers. A robot or cyborg that can act only in response to programming is not, in fact, a very good soldier. They lack the qualities that make a good soldier: the ability to take initiative, to think creatively in order to achieve a desired goal, the ability to adapt to unforeseen or unexpected events, the ability to learn from their mistakes (provided they survive, of course). Limited to programmed-response, they are suited to little more than guard duty or front-line cannon fodder, and are not terribly good at that.

For that matter, lacking spontaneity, emotion, and the ability to learn, they wouldn't make terribly good lovers, either. But I suppose there's a market for blow-up dolls...

Sakura Kitsuki

Ravenspire: Though they may not be creative, their initiative is built in. Their adaptive qualities are actually fairly good, a result of their self-teaching programming; but they aren't as good as true sentients in that respect. The truth is the Chibit soldiers are excellent for standard fights, but below average in covert OPS and complex duties. The major plus is that if they get blown up or shot, it's only a robot; not a human life.

Chibits programmed to be sexual partners may not have emotion, but they do have available randomized action protocols that would simulate spontaneity.

We never claimed that Chibits were a replacement for true sentients; but they are useful for specific tasks, which is why we ask what programming the buyer wants installed. Beyond the task they are programmed for, their functionality is limited almost to zero.

The major plus is that if they get blown up or shot, it's only a robot; not a human life. Then you don't need to send some 18-year-old kid home in a plastic sack, and send his parents a telegram from the War Department, I'd say Chibits are a good thing.

Wires the money

So when can i expect chobits to become availiable?

Kecha: That was our thought when we created the combat programming.

Yurka: Your Chibits have been sent. Chobits are not and will never be for sale.

Oh, as a token of good will in our recent renewed relationships with Xanthal, after a long period of isolationism, we would like to purchase a dozen of these "Chibits", programmed as non-sexual company. In other words, just to be good friends and have some conversational skills.

We will examine them to discern if they are sentient or not. If they don't, we will request more of them.

Aelosia: We have sent 12 Chibits programmed for companionship. If you wish to test their sentience, try placing them in situations they are not programmed to handle. They will not function. They can only learn within the activities they are programmed for.

We are rather interested by these Chibits you are selling, and would like to know if it is possible to alter the programing to allow artificial sentience at a later date.

Fine, the money for the first dozen has been wired. We will post the results of our investigations later. Many of our children can enjoy good company. Maybe we will bought more of them programmed to be babysitters and teachers. Of course, all of them should be disguised as elves.

Xanthal: We'll be giving you numbers on how many Chibits we need soon.

Taka: No special programming is needed. Simply remove the AI and replace it with an EI. Beware though, if you do that you have a fully sentient being entitled to all the rights of any other sentient.

Aelosia: Noted.

Kecha: Excellent.

Here's my request for Chibits Xanthal:

Adorable Girl Assassin: 50.

Mentat: 25.

K9: 300.

We might wish to purchase more if this works out well.

Taka: No special programming is needed. Simply remove the AI and replace it with an EI. Beware though, if you do that you have a fully sentient being entitled to all the rights of any other sentient.

Aelosia: Noted.

Kecha: Excellent.

Zephyr was shocked. EI...with rights? Never...

Commander of the Imperial Fleet and Marines Y'see, with us it's the other way about.

Kecha: $4,300,000

Steel Butterfly: Why aren't we doing business with you?

Excelent, we require 24 females, aged 16 - 24, and 24 males, aged 18-30. we need them as close to being human as possible, that means heartbeat, warm skin, and if possible, an interal skeletal structure close to a human skeletal structure. We will input our own AS systems, and link them to the collective network, essentialy allowing the AS systems already in existance to have physical bodies to run thier own errands without being distinguishable from the general population.

At this time we would like to note that we take no responsibility whatsoever for what buyers outside of Xanthal do with their Chibits once they buy them.

Taka: Your Chibits are ready. Will ship on reciept of $480,000 payment.

**Money Wired**

A pleasure buying from you.

Indeed. Your order will arrive within the week.

Money wired.

Chibits sent.

Thank you.

After conducting several series of test, we have concluded that Chibits are just very advanced computers, with a very complex system of posibilities. However, they aren't sentient.

We would like to order 10.000 Chibits (half males, half females), programmed to function as children companions , babysitters and teenagers. All of them should be look like Sindarin Elves, we're annexing a sketch.

http://www2.lysator.liu.se/anime_manga/titles/Lodoss/images/Lodoss.CD.Interior.Deedlit.gif

That'll be $100,000

Oh, money is not an issue. Money is being wired as we speak.

How wonderful for you... The Chibits have been sent.
