Death. Which is really just the lack of being able to go through phases anymore, wouldn't you agree?
Of course, compared to humans, you're functionally immortal, Connor. I wonder how long it is until someone decides to try to create an android that emulates themselves - to gain that life that won't wither.
You think your lack of physical aging denotes an emotional immutability? Wouldn't your own journey have already proven that wrong, Connor?
Not immutability. Just a decided hindrance in what tends to push humans through different life cycles. Physical changes, emotional and interpersonal milestones that androids can’t experience. School. Puberty. Relationships. None of these changes that touch androids but by default experienced by humans.
Does that make us fundamentally different?
[ Someone like Kamski should be able to tell that Connor isn’t challenging the question, he’s asking. Genuinely. Answers so close yet so closely guarded. ]
Of course you're fundamentally different. You're a superior being to a human, Connor, in every way.
Although I must disagree that an absence of traditional life markers translates to a lack of internal change. Don't you think your experiences have already shaped you? From a machine obeying orders, to a sentient being?

it's fine, all are welcome here in the pit of bad decisions
