RaoulDuke79 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) I'm of the opinion that an individual who choses to fornicate with a sex robot may have some underlying issues to begin with, but hey we all have our crosses to bare.

ExiledInIllinois Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Slow march to full automation. @BringBackFergy and @Cripple Creek They gotta get it some where... Even if it means ***** -ing a machine. They can get it in their self-driving car while operating the algorithm controlling their trust and will... No secretarial staff needed to chit chat with the general public. Total automation or bust! Just humor me and tell me those awesome Canadian bacon breakfast sandwiches and tenderloin BBQ @ tailgates are made by a human hand! I will look the other way with their freaky side! ?

BringBackFergy Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 What shocks me is these scientists can create a robot that knows how I feel, can be intimate and talk, but we still have gubment employees that push buttons allowing millions of gallons of sewage and toxic waste into our pristine waters here in the northeast. #automaticlockawareness 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I believe this article and think that these robots are only a matter of time. If someone would have came out to the park in Queens where we hung out in the 70s and told us that talking telephones would take us to a destination thousands of miles away, we would have thought the person was tripping. I also predict that at some point, people will be able to point phones at each other and read the other person's mind. Not in my lifetime mind you, but I think that it is just a matter of time. Jmo.

GETTOTHE50 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Bill Burr has a bit on this. When I last saw his stand up, he jokes about how humans are going to become extinct by being ‘*****’ to death by robots. In other words, these sex robots are going to be so close to perfection that we won’t be able to tell the difference between them and us. kinda freaky to think about.

The only problem is that everybody else dying off puts a hurt on the Amish living on the fringe of society. Nobody would be around to drive them to town or use a phone.

Nextmanup Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 All kidding aside... Let's be honest. When the day comes that a man can go buy a super hot sexy girlfriend robot and have sex with it in a manner that is convincing enough to replicate 80% or 90% of the real thing...there are going to be a lot of robot manufacturing company billionaires, fewer real human couples, and not nearly as many children running around. The technical hurdles that need to be overcome for such a challenge are huge. Imagine how easy it is to detect the differences between a robot with today's technology and a real human being. It's not even like comparing a modern video game to Space Invaders. We're not that far yet. Having said that, and applying some sort of adaptation of Moore's law to the problem, it stands to reason that the day will come when the super robots do in fact exist. No idea how long that will take. 100 years? A lot more? But the day is probably coming! Humans who will be around to see those creations are going to be freaked out.

Punching Bag Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I think movie "Bicentennial Man" is a good example of what can happen in future.
