That does not look edible...


When future becomes reality and robots are put to use in food processing, nothing will be fresh.

You're late.

Humans still make food today; Food is grown and picked by humans. The food is then processed and packaged by robotics. It was grown by a human, and picked by a human, therefore still fresh.

it costs 400,000 dollars to eat a tomato made by a robot, for twelve seconds.
So no I would not eat it.

Your reference is illogical in this situation, but I still respect your final decision.

Seeing your avatar I thought you would like it. :)

The Ethics Committee is proud to admit that, although against Government suggestion, we are banning all robotics from our farms. Freshness shall once again exist.

woot
That robot one tasted gross,
it was so metal and oily.

(get this reference and you win a cookie.  :cookie: )


Also the thread title makes no sense. Tomatoes aren't "made," they are grown as part of a naturally occurring process. Unless you are insinuating tomatoes are robots as your first picture does, you must have meant "Would you eat a tomato picked/packaged/distributed/etc by a robot." In which case I would eat one anyway because coming in contact with machinery does not toxify food.

So?
Grrr I don't buy cars that were built by robots because they aren't "fresh"

The first image is not literal, but represents an idea. The idea behind tomatoes is also not literal, but is forwarding an idea. The idea in this situation is that robots may come to higher power; not as in rank, or literal power, but they may overcome the natural things in life one day. It won't be long before you see robots driving taxis.

Humans still make food today; Food is grown and picked by humans. The food is then processed and packaged by robotics. It was grown by a human, and picked by a human, therefore still fresh.
From ninjawords:
Quote
fresh
    adjective
    °New or clean.
    "He put on a fresh set of clothes."
    °Of produce, not from storage.
    "I had a fresh salad made from vegetables straight out of the garden."
I'm pretty sure that food picked by robots can still be fresh.  Way2logic.
