I kēia lā, he mea kōkua robot, ʻoiaʻiʻo, exotic. Akā ʻaʻole mākou e loaʻa ka manawa e nānā i hope, no ka mea e lilo lākou i ʻano banal o ko mākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā. He ākea ka laulā o kā lākou noi hiki: nā lopako wahine, nā robots kumu, nā robots kahu hānai. Akā hiki iā lākou ke hana hou aku. Hiki i nā lopako ke lilo iā mākou… mau hoaaloha.
He hoa kanaka ka robota. No laila koke lākou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kēia mau mīkini. ʻAʻole mākou e mālama wale iā lākou me he mea lā e ola ana, akā, manaʻo pū mākou i kā lākou "kākoʻo" noʻonoʻo. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻike wale mākou ke hoʻokumu nei mākou i ka pilina pili me ka robot. Akā ʻoiaʻiʻo ka hopena maikaʻi o ka kamaʻilio noʻonoʻo.
ʻO ke kanaka psychologist ʻo Gurit E. Birnbaum mai ka Israel Center1, a ua alakaʻi kāna mau hoa hana mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ʻelua mau haʻawina hoihoi. Pono ka poʻe i komo e kaʻana like i kahi moʻolelo pilikino (ʻino mua, a laila maikaʻi) me kahi robot desktop liʻiliʻi.2. "Ke kamaʻilio ʻana" me hoʻokahi pūʻulu o nā mea komo, ua pane ka robot i ka moʻolelo me nā neʻe ʻana (no ka pane ʻana i nā ʻōlelo a ke kanaka), a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ma ka hōʻike e hōʻike ana i ke aloha a me ke kākoʻo (e laʻa, "ʻAe, he manawa paʻakikī!").
Ka lua o ka hapa o ka poʻe i komo i ke kamaʻilio me ka «unresponsive» lopako — nana ia «ola» a me ka «hoʻolohe, akā, i ka manawa like i noho motionless, a me kona kikokikona pane ua formal («Eʻoluʻolu e hai mai iaʻu»).
Hana mākou i nā robots "ʻano", "aloha" ma ke ʻano like me ka poʻe lokomaikaʻi a aloha.
Wahi a nā hopena o ka hoʻokolohua, ua ʻike ʻia nā mea komo i kamaʻilio me ka robot «pane»:
a) loaʻa iā ia me ka maikaʻi;
b) ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia e hoʻopuni iā ia i kahi kūlana koʻikoʻi (no ka laʻana, i ka wā e kipa aku ai i ke kauka niho);
c) ko lākou ʻōlelo kino (e hilinaʻi ana i ka lopako, ʻakaʻaka, ʻike maka) hōʻike i ke aloha a me ka pumehana. He mea hoihoi ka hopena, me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana ʻaʻole he humanoid ka robot.
Ma hope aʻe, pono nā mea komo e hana i kahi hana e pili ana i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kaumaha - e hoʻolauna iā lākou iho i kahi hoa pili. ʻO ka hui mua i maʻalahi ka hōʻike pilikino. Ma hope o ke kamaʻilio ʻana me kahi robot "pane", ua hoʻonui ko lākou manaʻo ponoʻī a manaʻo lākou hiki iā lākou ke hilinaʻi maikaʻi i ka hoihoi pānaʻi o kahi hoa pili.
I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, pane mākou i nā robots "ʻano", "aloha" ma ke ʻano like me ka poʻe lokomaikaʻi a aloha, a hōʻike i ke aloha iā lākou, e like me nā kānaka. Eia kekahi, ʻo ke kamaʻilio ʻana me ia robot e kōkua i ka manaʻo ʻoi aku ka hilinaʻi a me ka nani (ʻo ka hopena like e hana ʻia e ka kamaʻilio ʻana me kahi kanaka aloha e lawe i kā mākou mau pilikia i ka puʻuwai). A wehe kēia i kahi ʻāpana o ka noi no nā robots: ma ka liʻiliʻi e hiki iā lākou ke hana ma ke ʻano he "hoa" a me nā "mea hilinaʻi" a hāʻawi iā mākou i ke kākoʻo noʻonoʻo.
