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

Technically androids are just robots designed to look human. Sometimes people use robots to differentiate between machines versus one designed to emulate human expression and appearance.

oooooh ok i get it so your androids look human? walking and talking and acting normal and everything? cuz where im from there arent any of those outside of like anime and robots make cars and computers and stuff

All of the above. We have laws around mandatory markers that androids have to wear so that they can't be mistaken for human, but without those the differences are minimal. It's very difficult to spot an android without that.

what are the markers?
why cant an android not have them
