Hello.

I am curious about the general knowledge of androids in this place and thought I would ask a few questions, if anyone has the time to answer.

1. Do androids exist in your world?
If so, what are they like? Do they have humanoid appearances, how do they behave, are they designed to emulate human responses, et cetera.
2. Have you interacted with an android?
If so, what was it like? Did you know they were an android? Were they able to successfully 'pass' for human?
3. If androids exist in your world, were there laws passed in relation to them, their uses or 'rights'?
What were these laws? Did you witness them being broken? What were the consequences?

And I have another question, not relating to androids. Regarding emotions –

4. Are there methods available to assist in regulating unpleasant or extreme emotional responses? Preferably with 100% success rates, though I am happy to discuss tools with less guaranteed outcomes or results.

Please respond at your convenience. Thank you for your time.

— Connor

( he is just very curious ok he can't help it!! )

So they are just machines? Have you heard of any expressing their own desires/emotions, or appearing to have free will?

I have not, although I have heard of it. Would there be somewhere I could find instructions on how to do it correctly?

I believe they are just machines with no feelings or desires of any sort. But, I'd never interacted with one before so I truly can't say.

It's really not all that hard. If you wish, I could show you how I meditate.

A shame. There's very few people familiar with androids like myself, it seems.

I think that would be helpful, yes. If you don't mind, of course.

You're an android? Truly?

I don't mind at all. I enjoy helping others and I believe meeting you would truly be fascinating.
