This is really just how the tech industry works. We have abused the concept of consent into an absolute mess
My personal favorite way they do this lately is notification banners for like... Registering for news letters
"Would you like to sign up for our newsletter? Yes | Maybe Later"
Maybe later being the only negative answer shows a pretty strong lack of understanding about consent!
That raises an interesting point. Imagine we have helper bots or sex bots and they get someone killed or rape them or something. Who is held responsible?
These current “AI” implementations could easily harm a person if they had a robot body. And unlike a car it’s hard to blame it on the owner, if the owner is the one being harmed.
The more I hear about AI, the more human-like it seems.
That's literally a Portal 2 joke. "Interpreting vague answer as yes" when GLaDOS sarcastically responds "What do you think?"
