Feminists whining about equal representation in giant robot-dom results in the creation of fembots

we already have robots with AI that fight each other, once human scale robots get less expensive for tinkering, expect robo-wrestling AI to begin development. for spectacle, giant robot fight events will be treated like a monster truck rally or WWE event.

I think it'd be more realistic for them not to be gigantic.

But more importantly; why would they be sentient AND have a pilot?

Also what if their pilot got a real girlfriend? Would they get jealous?

>>14414772
Of course not.
They'd fuck inside the giant robot.

>>14414772
program the AI to be cool with it

>>14414772
>why would they be sentient AND have a pilot?
for publicity. have a cute girl AI, and a combat vet human. the AI is there to look good for the audience and simplify systems for the pilot.

>>14414772
The pilot is a pro gamer.
Only the best of the best get to pilot their waifu.

A situation like Yukikaze. Mankind uses more conventional mecha with powerful AI. Has to fight aliens who copy human tech and alter it. The aliens therefore have mechs with AI too. At some point they assimilate a girl like in Muv-Luv and bam, sentient female piloted mecha.

This is how I rationalize Frame Arms Girls.

I suppose this is more of a general question about robot girls but would she get embarrassed from seeing dozens of humans disassemble her pelvic area to perform maintenance on its inner components?

>>14414838
"the aliens are dumb and build impractical robots" isn't a very rational justification since it hinges upon aliens just happening to do dumb shit with the stuff they scavenge.

>>14414619
Isn't there a manga like that already? The title escapes me at the moment. It had semi-sentient giant robot schoolgirls piloted by soldiers who slowly went insane because they started thinking like actual schoolgirls or some shit like that.

>>14414983
The robots aren't sentient in this manga (also they're ugly since they look like schoolgirls). That's why I'm making this thread, because this manga isn't relevant to my concerns.

Don't be silly. No mere feminist could get in the way of the devotion between /m/an and /m/achine.

They're giant robots, with tits and ass. And they fight eachother.

You don't exactly need to think a lot about it, OP. In a world where the technology to do this is prolific enough, somebody's bound to make it happen.

This is like the third thread up right now asking for some type of justification of why robots should exist. Fuck off.

There was some old animu OVA where some scientist basically made Mazinger but in the form of a schoolgirl, and it was explained as him being a perverted bastard.

>>14414619
I'll try to bullshit a reason, I guess.

When they went and developed the first proper functioning AI, the amount of processing power needed was way over the processing power of a human brain because they were figuring things out and optimizing shit as they go, this ended up making the first AI having a massive supercomputer array for a brain.
Years later, they optimized it, and ended up having a lot of spare processing power. Some hardware was taken to make another AI, some extra capabilities were added to use the extra processing power. The "brain" for the AIs was still huge though, and they taught the AI enough stuff for long enough that it started to have a self-image(which was heavily based off people's image of it) that is of a normal girl.
Then the AIs started to get more hardware added, more sensors, more moving parts, and some get a human-sized android to use to interact with people.

The androids were successful, but the concern of the AIs losing connection to their androids was slowly getting bigger, what with people stealing the androids when the connection goes off for whatever reason and dismantling it for parts to sell and shit like that.

Then someone had the great idea of strapping the huge supercomputer array and its power supply into a large robot(Its a girl, of course) to "solve" the problem the androids. The unveiling of the giant robot girl had a bit of a shitstorm with a lot of "What the fuck?" from people worldwide.
More AIs demanded from their operators that they want something similar, and more robot girls were built for AIs of various nations.

Then one day, during a meeting between the representatives of 2 countries(with the robot girls there as representatives as well), negotiation got heated and broke down, and the 2 robot girls started a massive fistfight and their huge wrestling rampage had to be stopped by robot girls from other nations. That was the beginning of the Giant Robot Girl fighting matches.

>>14419422
Yeah it doesn't work very well.
Your premise is a world where people want to create a functioning AI at any cost and will go to ridiculous lengths to make it happen without any concern for its practical uses.

>>14419460
>without any concern for its practical uses.
Well, its fiction.

We can make up a fictional use for them, or go full Kawakami and build an entire world with multiple in-universe reasons for the development of AI.

>>14414619
Humans are cruel
Girls are cruelest

We make them knowing they'll fight each other over something trivial. Just werks

>>14419529
yeah that's the idea
just cause it's fiction doesn't mean it has to be implausible

>>14419573
Exactly.

It just has to have an in-universe justification.

In my head the justification for this kind of thing was that the tech required for giant mecha was the brainchild of one scientist, who happened to be a massive pervert.

The mecha happen to be really good because (technobabble handwave) but militaries are reluctant to use them because they look like giant girls.

Then you eventually get knockoffs and copies which use similar tech but without looking like girls.

Why would you not want to devastate armies with a giant girl?

I follow this artist on pixiv. His artwork reminds me a hell of a lot of early Shirow works.

>>14420593
That's the weird thing, his early artworks are the direct continuation of Shirow's LATE artworks, but now that they're getting cuter and more compact, they end up seeming more like Shirow's early works (without being nearly 80s enough though).

And as >>14420630 noted, his early work is a lot like late-era Shirow. He's like the anti-horsecock. 's amazing.

>>14421187

>furry art

He is well on his way to discovering the horsecock.

>>14421210
I classify that under "full-body cyborg dream" type stuff. I mean, fuck, when your universe can support the tech, let the furries go wild, it pacifies them and keeps them busy while we come up with plans to have them ejected to a lunar colony or somethin'.

>>14421219
All cyborg-wannabes are the robot equivalent of furries anyway. Doesn't make a big difference.

>>14421187
He's not the anti-horsecock, he has yet to draw beautiful and funny mangas with a style as lush and strong as pre-95 Shirow's.

It could be the aliens trying to use human psychology - a child or female appearence would cause a split second delay in firing, which would be very useful in a battle with instant hit weaponry

Of course if the setting is traditional gender roles, being annihalated by female mecha would be a very effective demoralisation weapon (plus might trigger gender based internal warfare)

Does this mean a nation's last line of defense are a group of gay men / women-hating neckbeard / etc.? A story involving this could either end up being a black comedy or just straight out offensive depending on who writes it

Could well be, although it could be argued its a tactic that would lose its effectiveness rapidly so its simply a case they were mass produced and as the units worked well, they stuck with them (either that or the aliens go all Ryusei on them)

I do agree, it could go either way but the black comedy aspect would be something we've not seen yet, selecting the 'wrong stuff' simply as they can do the job, all of them socially maladjusted in some manner, from hikkamoris to full on psychos

Big girls are easier to bully because you can't miss them.

How about having a giant sentient robot girl be the center of an entire religion and worshiped like deity or queen?

>>14440405
there would still need to be an explanation for why she was built in the first place.

>>14440409
You could make up any number of explanations, like off the top of my head she could have been designed to be a superior life form to humanity and thus govern over them because the creator believed that humans have reached a glass wall in their development or something or maybe he believes its necessary to create a god.

She could be the leftover creation of some alien species or something.

>>14440419
yeah I'm still not a fan.

It doesn't address the practicality of that design.

>>14440423
If we are talking something that is meant to be regal and stylish and give off an air of divinity then practicality has nothing to do with it. It isn't meant to be a tool its supposed to be something designed with spirituality and to serve as a symbol in mind.

Pic related.

At the end of the day I don't think there's any one reason we'll all find plausible. Most of the time we can't seem to agree on whether mecha is practical at all.

Of the ones I've seen, >>14431042 sounds about right. The robots being easy to relate to might make civilians more willing to co-operate during evacuations and the giant scale may offer space for small groups of people to ride along in more dangerous situations. Though that doesn't really cover the giant robot girls fighting each other aspect.

In which case, spectacle combat sport like in >>14414744 is your best bet.
