This is a claim oft.. claimed. Time to put your mana where your mouth is.
Update 2025-04-07 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Robotness Criteria Clarification:
Catgirls that are designed with artificial intelligence will be considered as having sufficient robotness even if they are biological.
Update 2025-04-07 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Definition of 'People':
The term can mean humans that are currently alive, all humans ever, or all sentient beings on Earth.
Reasonable alternative definitions (such as restricting to adults) are acceptable.
Relationship Status:
A participant does not need to divorce their spouse for the market to resolve YES; polyamorous arrangements also count.
Age Range Consideration:
Individuals older than 30 are included in the criteria for dating robot cat girls.
Update 2025-04-07 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Dating Criteria Clarification:
Mutual Agreement: It counts as dating only if both you and the robot cat girl consider the relationship as dating.
Subjective Assessment: If either party deems the interaction too casual to be termed as dating, it does not count as dating.
Polling Method: Rather than relying solely on a Manifold poll, conventional data-gathering methods (i.e., statistical tracking by designated entities) will be used to determine the outcome.
1,000what if the machines turn everybody into robot cat girls?
Do the catgirls need to have corporeal form? Where on this gradient would you draw the line?
Would dating just a voiced AI with no visual aspects to speak of count? (They owould just speak with catgirl myañerisms, ñya.)
Would dating an AI with an on-screen VTuber avatar count?
Would dating an AI embodied in some non-tactile hologram count?

Real-life catgirl we deserved
Real-life genetically engineered catgirl FOR SALE.
Constructed using human and cat DNA in a series of illegal experiments on people in an underground lab in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy.
Features:
-Dumb as hell, since her yuge eye sockets leave no space for a brain in the head. Can eat, shit, scratch and mumble. Understands some basic commands in russian.
-Can't speak. That jaw is too small for it, I presume.
-The tapetum glows nicely in the dark. Be ready to pay extra for your lights, because you certainly won't want to turn them off anymore.
-No tail. Sorry. The one with a tail died at the age of 3 from a horrible pelvis deformities.
Comes with:
-Dirty and bloody hospital patient gown she wears right from her birth. Smells shit, amniotic waters and maybe drugs.
-Nightmares.
-Your wallpapers and skin torn to shit
if both you and the robot cat girl consider it dating, it counts as dating. if either of you considers it nothing serious enough to use official, scary terms like "dating", then that's a no.
Will this resolve based on a Manifold poll?
your optimism is nice to see but unless we can poll every "people" in the world in 15 years on manifold.markets to see whether they are dating a robot cat girl at the time, I will resort to more conventional means like asking the superbeings that keep track of that kind of statistic
@Noit Presumably a polycule where you and your wife are jointly dating a catgirl would count. So, imo divorce is unnecessary. #preserveHumanRelationships (and add catgirl threesomes)
most people, as interpreted as any of:
- "people" being the group of humans that are alive
- "people" being the group of all humans ever
- "people" being the group of all sentient beings on earth (alive or ever)
- any other similarly reasonable definition. probably "adults" would count as well, to exclude children.
Is the expectation that I will divorce my wife for an AI catgirl?
You should ask YES holders! I sure don't expect that. But you would not necessarily need to divorce your wife for an AI catgirl for this market to resolve YES. You could either be part of the silent non-robot-cat-girl minority, OR you could be poly.
Will my elderly mother also be dating an AI catgirl?
Only time will tell!
Or is this going to be the prime dating age bracket of 18-30 as-at time of resolution?
people older than 30 can definitely be dating robot cat girls. come onnnnnnn.
@Bayesian And what if the designed-with-artificial-intelligence catgirls were constructed by reshaping humans (ie with nanotech or advanced biotech or downloading uploaded minds into robot bodies)?
These are the important questions the people want to get answers to!
