This was an interesting clip. I showed one of my classes a similar one in which the maker of RealDoll was showing off the AI equipment and the students were intrigued (and rather surprised; most of them have no idea that this is all going on - either ASFR/technosexualities OR all of the impressive current advances in AI research.) Incidentally, I also gave a talk a few months ago in which I presented technosexualities and the idea of machinic love to an audience that was probably around 70% female, and I received a very positive reaction. I asked them whether they thought the idea of having sex with a machine was "creepy" or "bizarre" and they said "no." There only concern was that it wouldn't be "real" (and then of course we went into the obligatory discussion of what was "real" in terms of emotions - how are your emotions, arising from chemicals and electrical interactions as they do, different from a machine who had programmed emotions arising from chemical and electrical interactions?) The point is - I was pleasantly surprised to see the positive reaction from this room of young women (and some men, who were fine with it :) .) It's nice to see that some people's ideas of technosexualities are changing, and probably, at least in some part, due to work like this. As long as we're playing chess with them too, it's suddenly not "creepy" anymore :P

Magnificent argument.
And after the Androids, come the cyborgs.

I'm curious if they wrote the AI from scratch in house, or if they are using a preexisting platform like Google, Luna or Viv. A basic AI voice recognition package with simple vocabulary and responses would be great to build off of to create a fembot.
I'm designing a fembot with the goal of making her and finding her a human boyfriend. Email me if you'd like: madscientist348807@gmail.com

Unless I am proven wrong...

Cyborgs no earlier then 2035.

Wow, that was fascinating. Thanks to Cara Santa Maria for the reporting. It must be a blast to work there!

I thought we were friends. How could you do a thing like that? I was just going to fix coffee. :faceoff:

Adding AI to love dolls is the next logical step toward android-human love and sex relationships. However, until the AI within attains a believable sentient level, the semi- AI doll combination will merely be an upgraded masturbation aid.
That being said, I believe that the YouTube video release of the prototype head, at this early stage of development may be doing more harm than good for the cause; the ultra realistic esthetics of the head were grossly mismatched with unnatural, jerky, random movements that placed the presentation deep within the "uncanny valley". That "thing" was creepy- NOT sexy. It would have been far better to show the realistic form of the doll without any added robotics and then show the developing AI head without the face attached. That would have left a public perception of anticipation.

That was my opinion, and you're untitled to it. LOL!
I'm here to do research for my Sci-fi novel series.

Pardon the bump, just thought I share this since no one posted. They're also on Instagram where they'd posted two short videos of their bots.
