Androids could prove that romantic love doesn't exist and is based solely on hormones. This comes back to the question of whether or not to program romantic responses into them or just allow them to learn on their own. They just don't have hormones to do the controlling like we do.
Going the extra distance.What love may be, is one an affectation of familiarity to where on organ, or entity seems to like either association or symbiosis, with another.In humans however, this may be expressed as seeming to like the aftermath of a collision of wills resulting in an argument.
This may be to where a human might like this condition, however a factoring machine might not, because of the conflicts, which juxtapose against machine code logic.
*The one type of love that I have forgotten, is just plain old companionship, which goes past the sex lust goo, which may befuddle a machine._ In a synthetic human being, one that would have a reactive pre-human home-life love programming, one can install synthetic hormones, or even a partitive human similar physiology.
What is really really interesting, if you've ever seen the Prometheus movie and or read same story, is that David was born with an almost a logical step up from humans.In the movie, just before USCSS Prometheus *ship lands on the ground, we are given a look into David's daily routine. In this purview we observe that he has likes and dislikes.He enjoys artistic if not valuable historical films and tires to better himself every day.
The sad part of the rest of the movie after touchdown, is that Dr. Holloway, who is even skilled in zeno-historical anthropology, does not have the albeit necessary common sense, to back off of David's potential anger buttons. This would be to where an alternate ending to the story line might have occurred, because Holloway would have taken David in as a friend, rather than a punching bag.
In David's early making, he would have probably been subjected to massive amounts of pre-necessary functional information given via some device to impart this information into him.
This is known as a rapid learning type of teaching, social instruction.However remember as a new life form, or a near blank slight, David could have tolerated these imparted by learning machine great amounts of information._If one does this same skill set learning process with a human, what occurs in similarity with a human being, is a phenomenon known as upload, download, "however one looks at the term", over-stacking. This is where the existing information is pushed aside, such as everyday pieces of knowledge, but the new information must therefore be processed, as this would be a priority newly installed feature.
Our being would experience trouble talking and odd episodes in language syntax, due to and till that information has been processed._An ass, such as Holloway would have begun to be looked upon, by a super-human agent as a piece of social catastrophe fodder, to be done away with in the name of science.What David was hoping for, is that Dr. Holloway would be first frozen, then taken back to Earth as a scientific container explaining what the Engineers were doing on distant moon LV-223.
Paula' the other love, would be that of a true friend that would require a constant type of companionship, in which some of the elements of love would be demonstrative as fielded as components of a close association.In this other similarity, your talking more closely to Data of the Star Trek Next Generations series. In this other more machine stead, Data the android tries to justify trying being human, as to where the David series in Prometheus had long ago pledge a certain loyalty not only to the missions nature on moon LV-223, but to Peter Weyland himself, as a father figure.
There's a difference between the two styles of servants?
