RealDoll CEO Aims To Make Its Sex Dolls Love You Back Via AI App (mirror.co.uk)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Mirror.co.uk: Matt McMullen, CEO of RealDoll, revealed the next step in making the high-end sex toys will be to give them artificial intelligence to replicate humans more closely than ever. "We are building an AI system which can either be connected to a robotic doll OR experienced in a VR environment," he revealed as part of an AMA (ask me anything) on Reddit. "I think it will allow for an option that never existed before, and for some, may represent a happiness they [users] never thought they could have. We are designing the AI to be fun and engaging, more than focusing on whether it can fool you into thinking it's a person," he said. He later added, when someone asked if dolls will ever love us back: "I hope that we can at least simulate that," McMullen responded. "That's the goal." In addition to AI and VR, Teledildonics are coming to the sex industry as well. "Teledildonics is technology for remote sex where tactile sensations are communicated over a data link between the participants -- with Siri, Alexa, Cortana and other AI software," reports Mirror.co.uk. The company is "putting the finishing touches" on its AI app, with plans to release it within the next six months. Oh, and it's also working on releasing a RealDoll with a robotic head by the end of 2017 to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
That's all I want from a "love doll"- one that "loves" me enough to boink my brains out and then climb back into her box.

There is something really fucked up - poor choice of words - with the dating scene that this would happen. For everything we're taught about respecting equality, dating is incredibly superficial. If you blow someone off - poor choice of words - because of their race, you're a racist. But if you blow someone off because physically they don't appeal to you for some reason you can't explain, that's just fine. Being dumped is the most demeaning thing that can happen to a man - or woman. How you can fix that I don't know, but sending people off to their room with a robot that says "I love you - Insert Credit Card" is not the answer.
I'm pretty sure royalty, billionaires, politicians and Hollywood celebrities are using real underage kids.

Are there really that many losers with an extra 10 grand running around who are willing to buy these things?
$10K for a fake GF is cheap compared to the cost of a real one.
