@puppygirlhornypost2 when I think about this kind of question, I usually think through all the possibilities, and consider the options. If it's "yes, unless..." then qualified yes. If it's, "no, unless..." then qualified no.

@evan Strong no.

Only if the robot is programmed to consent enthusiastically.

@Blort if it's *programmed* to consent enthusiastically, is that real consent?
