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 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.
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.

Come on, give it a chance. The last fifty years should have shown you one thing clearly: nothing else can fuck you like closed source software.
