最近和朋友聊天的內容，有一部分是關於機器人的。主要的話題本來是關於人的倫理的問題，但是我把話題引伸到未來的機器人。
Chat with a friend was about bots recently. The main topic was originally about human ethics, but I extended the topic to robots ethical of the future.
我問朋友說：假如你的另一半跟一個機器人做了”不可描述”的事情，你會嫉妒和分手嗎?
I asked my friend: If your significant other did something “indescribable” with a robot, would you be jealous and break up?
朋友的回答：如果是機器人的話那又不一樣的說法。
Friend’s answer: If it’s a robot, it’s a different story.
朋友的看法是認為機器人沒有生命，不會跟人產生感情，所以不會擔心另一半會被搶走。
The opinion of my friends is that robots have no life and will not have feelings for people, so they will not worry about the other half being taken away.
因為本人對感情比較遲鈍，我相信我朋友的看法更能代表大部分人類的想法。我對產生感情會被搶走這個看法的分析是這樣：因為產生感情後，此人的注意力就會傾注在另外一個人的身上，所以會有被搶走的＂感覺＂。不過，我們能自信地認為，人一生都只會注意一兩件事情嗎？不是沒有啦，只是那樣的環境條件要相對非常穩定，完全不受任何外界的影響，那樣才可以長久地專注在固定好的環境中。但人都是會有犯賤的時候，而且按照宇宙的定律，如果沒有任何的變動產生，也不可能會有人類和地球的存在。想一想宇宙大爆炸的初期，生命體都還只是化學分子啊。
Because I am relatively insensitive to emotions, I believe that my friend’s views are more representative of the thoughts of most human beings. My analysis of the idea of feeling robbed is this: Because after feeling affection, the person’s attention will be devoted to another person, so there will be a “feeling” of being robbed. However, can we confidently think that people will only pay attention to one or two things in their lives? No, it’s just that the environmental conditions must be relatively stable and completely free from any external influence, so that you can focus on a fixed environment for a long time. But there are times when people are mean, and according to the laws of the universe, if there is no change, it is impossible for humans and the earth to exist. Think back to the early days of the Big Bang, when all living things were just chemical molecules.
扯遠了。根據我朋友的說法，分析理解為沒有生命的東西不會取代有生命的人類的在＂感情＂中的位置，可是愛問問題的我馬上又想到了：假如產生感情的物件是有生命體的動物呢 (例如狗或馬)？
Pull away. According to my friend, the analysis understands that inanimate things will not take the place of living human beings in the “emotion”, but I immediately thought of asking questions: if the object that produces feelings is a living animal What about (eg dog or horse)?
好吧，我的問題問出來大概只有震驚，平時沒事誰會嫉妒一隻狗在自己另一半心目中的地位啊!
Okay, my question is probably just shocking. Who would be jealous of a dog’s status in the eyes of his other half?
可是… 可是動物有生命啊…
But… but animals have life…
其實根據我們人類＂自私的基因＂，才會產生嫉妒的存在吧？因為基因生存的需要，要保證基因得以在穩定的環境中生存，所以人類才會有＂需要很大機會合作培育新的基因的另一半有忠誠度＂，這樣才可以在物質的環境中保障下一代的基因獲得有利的條件。即使不是作為培育下一代為目標，基因本身都會有自我保護的意識，因此對於危機的意識加上經驗的理解，所有的第一反應當然是不能接受＂不安全的另一組基因＂，至少在確定完全安全前是不能接受的。
In fact, envy is based on our human “selfish genes”, right? Because of the need for gene survival, it is necessary to ensure that the gene can survive in a stable environment, so humans will have “the opportunity to cooperatively cultivate new genes and have the opportunity to be loyal to the other half”, so they can become guaranteed in the material environment. One generation of genes acquired favorable conditions. Even if it is not aimed at cultivating the next generation, the genes themselves will have a sense of self-protection. Therefore, the awareness of the crisis plus the understanding of experience, of course, all the first reactions are not to accept “another group of genes that are not safe”, at least in It is not acceptable until it is completely safe.
按照生物的角度，我們人類根本就＂不專一＂啊!
From a biological point of view, we humans are not “unfocused” at all!
但是就是這種＂不專一＂，人類開始學著照顧地球的環境，並且懂得欣賞大自然的美，讓人類的靈得到提升。即使從小範圍地說，人類因為兼顧了他人的感受，學會了與他人相處，而不是那一開始只會吃和睡的小嬰兒。
But it is this kind of “unfocused” that human beings began to learn to take care of the earth’s environment and appreciate the beauty of nature, so that the human spirit can be elevated. Even on a small scale, human beings have learned to get along with others because they take into account the feelings of others, not the little baby who only eats and sleeps at first.
愛情，由愛慕而生的情感。情感雖然可以經由行為去表達，但本質還是一種產生自內在的感受，沒有人可以搶走。
Love is an emotion born of love. Although emotions can be expressed through behavior, their essence is a feeling that comes from within (inside of our), and no one can take it away.
朋友所說的機器人沒有生命，令我思考：假設如電影中A.I. 可以自己思考，算得上生命嗎？但其實理論上還是一個機械體吧？即使如電影中可以學會愛人類，但體格上依然是機械體，不同的物種。所以如果以基因角度，根本沒有對基因存續有威脅，除非因機械體對人體造成主觀的傷害。在我的角度，機械如果會自主思考，只能是學習的結果，因為所有的邏輯或情感的思考走不出限制。
The robot that my friend said has no life, made me think: If A.I. can think for himself in the movie, can it be considered life? But in fact, it is still a mechanical body, right? Even if you can learn to love human beings like in the movies, you are still a mechanical body, a different species. Therefore, from a genetic point of view, there is no threat to the survival of genes at all, unless the mechanical body causes subjective damage to the human body. From my point of view, if a machine can think autonomously, it can only be the result of learning, because all logical or emotional thinking cannot go beyond the limit.
我認為生命應該是更內在的東西，正如我們會說，有些人活著，但是這個人沒有靈魂。氣場和氣場的吸引，令我們彼此走近，並且願意長久相處，那麼一定是有原因的。那些因為生理原因或被逼而導致的錯誤關係不是在此處想說明的關聯。
I think life should be something more inward, as we would say, some people live, but this person has no soul. The attraction of the aura and the aura makes us approach each other and are willing to get along for a long time, so there must be a reason. Those faulty relationships due to biological reasons or coercion are not the ones intended to be described here.
人都是有靈性的生物，因為當中揉合了靈魂，所以會有自主思考的同時，也會有情感，雖然很多時候也會受到環境的各種影響。
Human beings are all spiritual creatures, and because the soul is mixed in them, they will have independent thinking and emotions at the same time, although they are often affected by the environment.
人類會擔心機器人或A.I. 會取代人類，那是對於自身了解不足而引起的。
Humans worry that robots or A.I.s will replace humans because of a lack of understanding of themselves.
靈魂的豐富與貧窮受自身修養與環境的影響，甚至相合度高不排除可以在機械體中運作。
The richness and poverty of the soul are affected by its own cultivation and environment, and even a high degree of compatibility does not rule out that it can operate in a mechanical body.
我向朋友拋出一個對於目前依然只是假設的思考：如果十多二十年後，人類可以合法與機器人結婚。
I throw to my friends a thought that is still only hypothetical: if in ten or twenty years, humans can legally marry robots.
朋友無法想像，但並沒有反感，因為有新聞關於日本的宅男與自己喜歡的虛擬數位人物舉行認真的婚禮，並邀請了朋友。以基因角度，虛擬數位人物無法滿足，但作為人的心靈來說，可能真的滿足了。
Friend couldn’t imagine it, but she was not disgusted, because there was news about a Japanese otaku who had a serious wedding with his favorite virtual digital character and invited friends. From a genetic point of view, virtual digital characters cannot be satisfied, but as a human mind, they may really be satisfied.
我們總不能排除有對靈魂伴侶高要求的人在多年的獨處後依然沒有遇到可以順利傾談的人類對象，轉而從內在尋求了自認為可以滿足心靈的另一半。
We can’t always rule out that people who have high requirements for their soul mates still haven’t met a human object they can talk to after years of solitude, and instead seek the other half they think can satisfy their souls from within (inside).
機器人的出現，有可能(只是有可能)會減少人與人之間的不和諧與互相傷害，減少人類自我生命的浪費。
The emergence of robots may (just may) reduce the disharmony and mutual harm between people, and reduce the waste of human life.
特別是我們現在就煩惱的關於老齡人的照顧問題。試問：作為人我們都有自己想嘗試的人生，不論任何年齡，但像停止了的人生，又是我們每個人所追求的嗎？我十分認同互相的照顧所帶來的溫暖感，但如果對所有人類歷史上的了解，大概我們每一個人還是要對自己的內心更坦白一點。嘗試從被照顧者的身份去看，無助和孤獨才是問題的根源，假如可以無顧慮地享受應有的人生，回復到較年輕時的人生狀態，又會作何想法。
Especially the problem of caring for the elderly that we are worried about now. Let me ask: As human beings, we all have our own life that we want to try, no matter what age, but the life similar as stopped, is it what each of us pursues? I very much agree with the warmth brought by caring for each other, but if we understand all of human history, probably each of us still needs to be a little more honest about our hearts. Try to see from the identity of the care recipient. Helplessness and loneliness are the root of the problem. If you can enjoy the life you deserve without worry, and return to the state of life when you were younger, what would you think.
無可避免機器人的出現，有其為了保障更多的生命的使命存在。假設你的人類至愛比你更早離世，你又不願意再愛他人(情感上的無可取代感)，還會認為機器人結婚合法化於人類是可怕的想法嗎？
The inevitable emergence of robots has its mission to protect more lives. Suppose your human love passed away before you, and you don’t want to love others anymore (a sense of emotional irreplaceability), would you still think that legalizing robot marriage to humans is a terrible idea?
