Depends on their style of emotional investment I guess. Not all romantic relationships are sexual, so physical intimacy isn't necessarily required. So it reasonably could be the same emotional attachment to the AI as it would be for a real person. Whether or not that is healthy is an entirely different topic, but having a virtual boyfriend is very possible.
It makes sense why they did it, but their messed up versioning was the cause to begin with. You should always assume Devs will cut corners in inappropriate ways.
Is that a real question? Because they were stolen and we have evolved as a civilization (mostly) to acknowledge that it was wrong to take them in the first place.
The only reason to want to keep them is greed and pride. Both of which are pretty piss poor foundations for a law.
Note that neither the British Museum nor most British people want to keep the stolen artifacts. In fact it would be better for the British Museum to close if that's the end result.
The fact is that Britain is not within the control of the people. Basically just a bunch of rich people manipulating the population and doing whatever they want... Think Midgar from Final Fantasy 7.
The individual responding isn't the issue. They haven't made any decision to respond like this, they are following a script.
The script is written by people who should know exactly what they are doing, so the result is either malice or negligence. Either way it's unacceptable where the law is concerned.
I trust they did their best.I also trust that any sufficiently tech savvy individual will be able to bypass that system. It only takes one person to pull it off and then it's public knowledge. Sure, they'll fix it, and then someone will do it again.Small companies can't afford to take that risk and larger companies won't want the hassle.
It's a shame too. I liked Unity more than Unreal. Oh well.
We used to be a great nation... Invading... Murdering... Stealing... Imposing grass deserts... Now we have left the EU, are implementing government spyware and have no plans to make anything better...
I don't remember what my point was, but England is shit and I don't want to be here anymore.
It would have to be cringe to be accurate
