Who's more charismatic: Jules or a bot?

[No context given.]

Comments

[changeitall]

Neither.

[She doesn't know Jules nor bots so that's what you get... unless she'd count a robot from home to this but nope.]

[runs]

That doesn't count as an answer. You have to pick one.

[changeitall]

I've never met Jules, no idea what he's like or what he even looks like and I don't think I've ever met bots here either but fine, then I'll say a bot.

[rustyhonesty]

A bot.

[runs]

By how much, would you say?

[rustyhonesty]

That depends on the scale.

[failgoyle]

Oh, come ON!

[photonicfighter]

...just what do you mean by 'bot?'

[This question already seems mean to both Juleses and artificial lifeforms.]

[runs]

They're like drones but on the internet. Programs that don't have sentience and aren't very flexible but can perform the task they're made to do pretty well, sometimes better than people.

[dragoonrouge]

...Kitty,are you bullying Jules?

[failgoyle]

I don't know that I'd call it bullying, but she's being difficult!

[runs]

Why would I bully Jules?

[Whatever else would be her reason for asking this?]

[haveabiscuit]

Be kind.

[runs]

That's bring though.

[shiromadoushi]

Depends on the 'bot!

[runs]

What about the bot would make it more or less charismatic?

[thornsofmalkav]

Depends on the robot. I mean, Jules has a nice butt even if he's Jules, but if Daneel ever wanted to explore human-cybernetic relations with someone other than Ambrose I'd be on that like white on rice.

[runs]

Why are you being gross about this?

[Well played, she suddenly regrets having asked this question.]

[wholeheaded]

[ hang on Ambrose is just going to scream internally for a few moments. ]

...thank you, Thorne. I think. Is this a "thank you" thing?

[helborn]

... I like Jules.

[runs]

That's not related at all to the question I asked.

[breakaleginhalf]

I dunno, doesn't that imply that like, robots are capable of being charming at people? It's mostly on whoever they're talking to.

Jules isn't fucking charismatic, though.

[tookashirototheknee]

Depends on who's programmed them. I've seen some really charming robots, to be honest.

More cute than charming, but still.

[It's a shame he doesn't know that his sister literally reprogrammed a robot to have fun.]

[runs]

I guess the idea is that if Jules is less charismatic, he has negative amounts of charisma.

Rasputin seems to have managed it, judging by the things a few of the women in the Red Light District said, but I'm not clear as to whether he started out mechanical or was just using a mechanical body for some reason.

[Also, he's not sure it was Rasputin's sparkling personality that truly impressed them.]
