For anyone who’s watched ‘Ann Droid’ ( and for those who haven’t ) would you consider a Robot companion?

Yes, possibly. They might become the norm, in the not too distant future! Aren't they already quite common in Japan?

Japan is a global leader in robotics, producing a wide array of animal robots designed for companionship and therapeutic support,

For example Sony Aibo: The most famous robotic dog in the world, Aibo (ERS-1000) uses artificial intelligence to learn its owner's face, develop a unique personality over time, and respond to voice commands. Prices for this high-end companion typically range from £3,500 to £4,200.

I wouldn't mind the on the spot diagnosis on health issues, removing the need for GP visits and lengthy waiting lists to find out what's wrong.

I think I would because theycould probably overpower a burgler

I haven’t watched Ann Droid but I’d probably like a robot companion to start with then get bored with it and put it in a cupboard. Unless it did the housework. Might keep it onside if it did that.

Yes I would definitely if I lived alone and was older.To help around the house and be a companion, what’s not to like?
It would eradicate loneliness for a lot of people and not just for seniors.
It’s the future isn’t it?

Well a bit sad if a robot eradicates loneliness

On the contrary, it would be a happy thing.
There are many people, particularly older ones who can spend all week rarely exchanging a word with anyone.
