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.
i'm not leaving the house.
I have a low battery.
Have gnu, will travel.
There will, surely, be nothing more satisfying than the affection of an expert system that has been tuned to love absolutely anyone whose licensing agreements and software maintenance contract are in order.

No thanks.
I'm doing NOTHING if I can't review the SOURCE CODE!
Take it easy, Charlie, I've got an Angle...

This may cut into the market for Slovenian "supermodels".
You are welcome on my lawn.
Sex is primal. If you haven't noticed, it's one of the big pillars of society (eating and management of defecation being two others). Since a growing majority of women are being taught that men are scum from kindergarten to college, men are starting to find outlets elsewhere. Why take on the social, legal, and financial risks of having sex in college and, later on, marriage with a 50% failure rate? Of course, it's not a real woman, but $10k is a drop in the bucket compared to those costs. It's interesting that feminists have a problem with this. They claim men are so abusive, so what's the big deal if they go elsewhere? Of course, that's not what feminists really want. They want to control men by retaining control over access to sex. Sex toys circumvent that somewhat. They're not really that concerned about today, they're worried about 20-30 years from now.
Advertising the most technologically advanced sex doll on Slashdot. Well played RealDoll, well played.
Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.
Just make them body temperature, and maybe give them a pulse?
Sure, if you're into that kind of thing.
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.
I shuddered at "RealDoll CEO" . A CEO with three working offices?
I guess you meant "orifices".
I didn't know she was dead, your Honor. I thought she was British.
