This thread is greatly enhanced by listening to “Sexy Data Tango” by Voltaire while reading it. I know, I know, but androids, sexbots, the difference can be negligible at times. ---

[QUOTE=Zebra] Anyone who has had sex with my first wife, and there are quite a few, know what it is like to have sex with an emotionless machine. [/QUOTE] Thank you, Mr. Youngman will be here all week! Wouldn’t a sexbot be uncomfortably similar to, umm, necrophilia? I mean, you’d have to put it somewhere when it’s not in use; somehow “a foot locker” or “the crawlspace” seem appropriate. ---

[/QUOTE] And at some point, this data will need to be reviewed by a human. This data on every kink, fetish, and perversion that can be conceived of by man and acted out on sexdoll. Somewhere in Maryland, there is a very junior data analyst is sobbing while reading this thread. ---

They damn well _better_ be ready in five years. I mean, come on…it’s the 21st century. We have no flying cars, SSTs, or food pills. We haven’t been to the moon for over three decades. There’s still no practical nuclear fusion. Aside from the high-speed global computer network, so far, the future’s been a complete _gyp_. It’s about time we started making up for it! :mad: Though, as a pessimist, I have to wonder which would be worse…finding out that my sexbot had gained self awareness but had suffered in silence through years of unwitting sexual abuse, or the sexbot gaining self awareness and deciding to strangle me the next time I started unwittingly sexually abusing it. “Ack! Pleas…honestly…gark…didn’t know…would never have…” :eek: :o 😛 :dead: ---

[QUOTE=Tuckerfan] Actually, I think that the designers will put in a failsafe of a four year life span. [/QUOTE] Isn’t it six years? > [@](#): > > I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. ---

[QUOTE=adam yax] Isn’t it six years? [/QUOTE] Nope. It’s a four year life span, because that’s when they started developing their own emotional response. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rise-of-the-machines-sexbots-by-2011/361528.md?page=1)
