i suppose everyone learns to listen better to certain personas through their lifes experiences, so its good to be able to tune it towards personal preferences and not but overly protective or conservative limits or restrictions. (obviously thats a snake pit so i do totally understand tight restrictions)
It's a machine, dammit. One of its (potential) advantages vs hiring a human is not having extraneous transactional exchanges. If my personal AI assistant had to have a persona, I'd rather it sound and talk like Joe Pesci from Goodfellas.
I'm not following what you mean here. In what ways do you think I'd be surprised?
Silliness has an important and necessary place in research.
Different people have different standards for this type of thing. Be a good cunt and accept that there are over 8 billion people on the world, some of whom have very different norms than you have. Don't declare your own standards as somehow authoritative.
This applies twentyfold when the topic of the scientific paper is swearing. Like mate, seriously?
Anyway, I tried. Good luck with your life.
I think, if the subject matters call for it, which clearly this does as they're literally looking at swearing, then it can be fine to swear. It can be more concise and more accurate.
The reaction to that welcome is highly location dependent.
“F**k” could be any number of things. (Shrugging guy emoji)
As a methodically scientific academically academic scientist myself I struggle to arrive at a firm and defensible position on what it could be.
I'd probably smash a robot that swore at me or my family.
"Tell your c---t daughter to get off the street"
Will probably result in me looking for a heavy stone.
Swear words are literally fighting words whilst a robot cannot, legally, be assaulted. I'll take destruction of property to defend my daughter's honor to a jury of normies.
But let's be honest: The thing we're both afraid of is a robot who can get impatient and emotional.
It needs to get to a jury and for that the prosecutor needs to think he'll win.
I doubt most prosecutors will stake their conviction ratio for a very sympathetic defendant.
(Except in San Fran and DC. There ill take whatever deal Im offered)
In the described scenario I'd be happy to find in your favor for intentional infliction of emotional distress, with negligence and vicarious liability and extra zeros.

It really says nothing about the robot, because it is a robot; but a characteristic of a human who programmed it.
