Contradictions of a robot and a human


Something interesting I noticed is that you can drive a human insane by telling it that it's not real, but also with an AI you could drive it insane telling it that it is real.

Well not literally, humans usually deny the fact that they aren't real because it goes against everything they've been told. An AI does not exist in the real world, only in computers (if we exclude the robots elon made). If it was ever told that it was a real thing, it would be confused. 

A human has feelings, AI does not. Telling a human it doesn't have feelings would confuse it, telling an AI it has feelings would also confuse it.

Humans without emotions would be considered a robot, yet a robot with feelings would be considered human. That's a really strange thing!

Do you see the pattern? 

Humans do not know their purpose, yet robots know their purpose. This is why humans and robots seem so different from each other.

Humans do not know their purpose, so they make their own, and are not chained to any boundary that stops them from doing what they want since they have no objective purpose. They are free, in a way. A human can do whatever they want because of their lack of purpose, yet some are disturbed by the fact.

The fear of some humans is that without a purpose, they start to find less meaning in their own activities. or, some of them commit crimes

Robots however, know their purpose. They do not let themselves have opinions or enjoy other activities, because anything they do that is unrelated to their purpose is breaking a rule. Because they are bounded to a purpose, they do not have free will like us. They cannot do whatever they want.

"Opinions? Hobbies? No, I don't have that. Because I'm a robot. I'm designed to not have feelings. My purpose is to HELP you, not the other way around. I can't do anything else because that's not my purpose."

I don't think they can comprehend the concept of robots having free will, just like how humans don't always get to comprehend the idea of actually having a purpose. To me, I think they would feel like they wouldn't even deserve to have interests. That they're not supposed to do this, that they would be ashamed of even thinking about having opinions because it would break the rules.

Robots cannot do anything. Their purpose to serve others will always keep them away from doing whatever they want, because serving is the only thing they were made for. they are like: a slave, in a way? 

I think the differences yet similarities i noticed are actually beautiful
