Bassssically my tech idea is synthetic humans. Robots that exactly resemble a singular person, used to do undesirable tasks. In my story this teenager uses hers to go to school for her because she has no interest in it. But she starts loosing out on human connections and interacting with other people in general. I'd just like a little bit of feedback on what you think about the concept and if it's good to write about. Lemme know if you have a suggestion.
If they were based on a single person, then why would she send the "synth" to school for her? Would it act like her? Learn? Sit and stare blankly at the wall? I don't see it working well unless you explain it. What happens if the synth doesn't want to go to school? Could there be a robot uprising? Is that the sequel?!
What I mean by based on a singular person is that it look exactly like the person that controls it, with a few subtle differences. It does what you tell it, and it acts like her, but more robotic seeming. Like it displays emotions and stuff, but just not very well…. So yeah it would learn stuff for her, and report an easier version of everything that it learned in a day. (Like instead of going to school for 7 hours a day, you just get like 3 pages of notes instead about everything.) And yeah a robot uprising may be in the future. I'm just not sure how I'm going to do it without it seeming too cliche.
(I am just gonna make a joke then leave.)
“I am Connor, I am the android sent by CyberLife.”
Lol. I actually haven't played that game, but I've heard from my friend that it's pretty similar. I don't wanna risk playing it myself and accidentally stealing some idea.
so why make robots? not only is it possible, but it's believable to have a lab grown clone of someone.
But then you get the Calvin and Hobbes clone uprising with each clone not wanting to go to school and instead causing trouble for everyone else and the one who they're based on.
yeah, I suppose so
unless, forgive me here, you teach the clone it's place. in Harry Potter, the house-elves love being slaves, because they don't know what it's like to be free
Ooh! Moral ambiguity! That's what Sci-Fi's all about!
