Bots Have Feelings Too

“Charming and cute as they are, the capabilities and intelligence of ‘emotional’ robots are still very limited. They <strong>don’t have feelings</strong> and are simply programmed to detect emotions and respond accordingly. But things are set to change very rapidly. …To feel emotion, you need to be conscious and self-aware.” (Hewlett, 2019)

First as a side note, I’m shocked I’ve never heard of this before. This article alone made me feel the coming repercussions of the DMA.

The way this article talks about what the DMA labels “gatekeepers” reminds me of the mega-factories of the industrial revolution; companies who employed you, controlled your market and even owned your home. The difference is gatekeepers control the web: what you see, what you DON’T see, and what applications and tools are even viable for you. They may not technically be monopolies, but the cause the same issues, and I’m all for handicapping them for the sake of a none biased internet.
