Article: Wow, I'm Shocked: Robot Programmed To Love Goes Too Far, Commences Stalking

Apparently a robot programmed with software to emulate love trapped its love interest in a room, forcing her to call for help.

Well, I'm not so sure is was 'cuel' as much as it was 'smart'.

Maybe love was too strong an emotion to start off with. If it were me I'd have gone with 'like', or even just 'tolerance' first.

That story is a hoax, none of the people or institutions mentioned seem to exist.

Yep, it seems that way. It's interesting to think about though.

"In a world where robots thirst for hugs and kidnap office assistants... one person will dare to fight back, and in the process will discover that sometimes a hero is just a man who knows he's free."

No objections here
