I wonder if we're headed to the hot-babe-robot of AI (which was, understandably, their best selling product).
I suppose I don't really wonder. If the technology is available for an intelligently behaving android (which of course can have any looks and body proportions desired) then it will happen (and it probably will be their best selling product). I know we currently have a crude sex "robot" which was unveiled at a sex convention in California. (I didn't know the sex industry had a convention until I read about it in the news connected with this robot. Of course I immediately registered for the next conference...lol). It looks like human companionship will be unnecessary (or at least perhaps mistresses will be a thing of the past). Just think---a hot babe who never grows old, has no demands of its own, talks only when desired by the owner, is always available, never has a headache, who is open for anything, and has no STDs---perhaps we will get to see if the bonobo's "peaceful" society is really a result of frequent and copious sex :-) --Mike --Mike On Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 7:37 AM, Mike Palij <[email protected]> wrote: > Robot therapy with cute, cuddly robotic seal.
