But a machine who follows set theory, and all of the derived rules of Boolean operators and then is trained on a vast amount of information can simulate a human being. But that begs the question, when is a simulation indistinguishable from it\u2019s original.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nAll of the anime and movies above, deal with these questions, but opt for making the robot human in some ways.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n\u201cMy Wife has no Emotion\u201d does not do this. It is clear that Mina is a robot, and the author, Jir\u014d Sugiura, never lets you forget that fact. He even incorporates a running joke, in that sometimes Mina looks up at the ceiling, and everyone asks do you see a bug. Of course this is a bug in Mina, and that is the joke. A bug is a coding error.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nMina makes friends with Takuma\u2019s sister, and she asks if Mina loves her brother. Mina tells her that she cannot answer that question, as she does not feel love, but still without feeling love, Mina protects and cares for Takuma. As she says, that is her duty, and she will never slack in actualizing her duty. The genius inventor of the Mina series, Tomiichi \u014ctani, tells us that robots are actually more moral because they never deviate from their moral imperatives while humans grossly violate their moral rules with some regularity.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nMaster \u014ctani, builds his Mina series with far more power and programming than is needed by an appliance. We hear how his company does not understand why he needs to \ninclude such meaningless power and code. He ultimately comes down to one simple rule, \u201cLove a person, and be loved by them.\u201d That if a human shows love to one of his robots, then that robot will activate considerable background code, and return love. This is why Mina immediately reacts to the suggestion of becoming Takuma\u2019s wife, and then has to do research on the internet about what a wife is and her duties to her husband.\nOne of the interesting facts that Mina discovers is that wives have rights as well as duties. In becoming Takuma\u2019s wife, she self actualizes her position, and becomes an individual with rights whether she is married or not.\nSuper Mina who we meet later is desperate for love and even attacks Takuma in her desire to love and be loved. Mina comes to Takuma\u2019s rescue and says to Super Mina,\n\u201cSaionji-san, please focus on the urge that lies beneath the urge to embrace him with all your might. What is it you want of Takuma-sama?\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n<p>It seems obvious that she wants his love, because later at her own home she embraces her owner who is only a child and cannot give her the love which she seeks. When she overhears Mina say that Super Mina is her friend, she begins to cry.<\/p>\n\n<p>Super Mina is the outstanding character in this anime, and it is easy to fall in love with her. She is also very dynamic and funny, unlike Mina who is stone faced, stoic and unemotional (true to the title).<\/p>\n\n<p>Super Mina has a very expressive face, but Mina\u2019s face is a plastic mask which does not change, and which has no feelings. As she says, her hands have more feeling than her face or lips which can only sense a general pressure. But her eyes are very high tech, and can show differences in emotions.<\/p>\n\n<p>The author, Jir\u014d Sugiura, knows quite a bit about modern AI, LLMs, and other cybernetic instruments. And he infuses the technology with some degree of awareness for the emotional side of human nature.<\/p>\n\n<p>We found \u201cMy Wife Has No Emotion\u201d to be a wonderful Summer 2024 anime, and would rate this work at around 7.9 to even 8.1. <\/p>\n\n<p>The anime will definitely make you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>       <\/p>\n\n\n<p style=\"color:red\"> Recommended<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2024 Folcwine P.
