In class, we discussed having human looking Artificial Intelligence, and how many people have used them to relieve their lusts and sexual desires. Which raises a question, is this moral? In reality, it could very easily be argued that since they are not actually humans, then they have no rights, and so we as human beings are allowed to take advantage of them.
And while it may seem right from a legal sense, I would disagree on the grounds that anything created or born in a country and that is capable of intelligent thought is deserving of the rights it is capable of understanding. And while we may not be at that stage quite yet, when will we draw the line? Taking advantage of an AI that cannot think for itself will eventually lead to taking advantage of one that can.
Not only that, but the entire concept of sexual relations have been misrepresented by this situation. The thing is, God tells us that sex should be reserved for marriage, to be held in the highest regard for someone that you love more than anything else. And even if you don't believe in God, I think most people would still agree with that sex is something special and should only be given away if both partners have previously assented. Regardless, a true AI would be able to have an opinion about their role in this matter, and so would be able to assent or deny it. If they cannot give an opinion, they should be dealt with like any other human who is not old enough to think for themselves, and should be protected, not only for the benefit of the AI but for the long term benefit of the human as well.
