discussion So... say sex robots are here. Now what do we do?

Depends on the price and how advance will the AI be

I was promised flying cars a long time ago and so far, nothing. I'm not holding my breath for this one either.

 

[Petermax77]

Nothing, the clean up on those things, i don't even want to think about.

I do find it pretty funny that sex-robots are coming, but they're never going to reach widespread appeal until they get cheap enough for the mass-market. Then there's the fact that any sufficiently realistic sexbot could be a security risk. Imagine if the bot gets hacked and starts choking you out mid-session?

End of civilization.

Jokes on you, I'm into that.

But you're correct that mass market buy in would be necessary and I don't see that happening anytime soon. Consumer grade VR headsets have been on the market for more than a decade and prices are in reasonable console territory, yet they have yet to break into the wider market and are still considered niche.

Basically these robots are improved Sex Dolls, and those also didn't ruin society

would need research on normal sex doll sale numbers and these robots get on top of that, both are or "can be" quite expensive

don't seeing it be a big impact on society ... unless they get really cheap ... and i doubt that

What is the difference from ordinary masturbation? With dolls, you will never get emotional satisfaction. Find yourself a girlfriend—that's the best option. Excuses like “I have psychological problems” won't work. Anyone can find a partner. Everything else is just empty excuses for not wanting to socialize. Believe me, women don't bite. Try to make friends with a girl and/or woman first. Don't underestimate their intellectual level; believe me, many girls have a rich intellectual background. Treat them as equals. I think you have friends. Treat girls as equals, as your friends. And don't expect a girl to jump into bed with you after the second date. There are escort services for that.

Dont think that this will change anything. There are a lot of sex toys but it just dont get into the mainstream population, as its just a complicated masturbation. Maybe in the places like Japan, where there is a big problem with society and dating mindset, but dont think that it will be mainstream in western societies

depends on how far we get. human "enough" sexbots will pretty much halt population growth, but then as fewer people get born, those jobs get replaced with other robots. where the real issue happens is once we get shit like monster girl robots, no real girl is a lamia or some shit like that. basically what i mean is once people realize the sexbots can fulfill ANY fetish at all, even the ones not possible in our current reality . . . total collapse. we got like 8 billion people now, within like 50 years it will be like 12 million. and those 12 million will live insane hedonistic lives, with everything done and provided by other bots. and then thats the end of civilization. the end of the story, and a fulfillment of the fermi paradox. though i guess there will still be little enclaves of fundamentalists who hate bots living in the woods. but the robot population and apparatus will be too large for them to ever stop, and their reluctance to interact will belay them the necessary knowledge to ever stop them. which will create a kind of ironic situation of a hyper advanced civilization drowning in hedonism on one part of the planet while basically cave people are off living in remote areas.... sort of like some theories about Atlantis before the younger dryas 12,000 years ago. hmmmm

 

[pretz]

people will hide it until it gets accepted, just like anything questionable yet inevitable

 

[sommerlager]

Imo sex robots will not take over. The most fun part of sex is the "hunt" for girls. Unless you are used to fuck sextoys and that's all you need.

I assume people will do shit you can't do with human partners, like set them up for NC or whatever. Won't be much different than loli sex dolls in that regard.

 

[Garaf]

The first thing i though, is how would the piracy of sex robots be

 

[helpfulsunglasses]

it's tough to pirate physical goods. Personality modules maybe? The modding scene for sexbots would be amazing.

 

[yobnis13]

Shag them all, even if they were similar to famous women, singers, actresses, etc. Or you could create your own ideal . Very expensive and normal relationships would probably cease to exist. A robot has no moods and no headaches

 

[NovaJack]

Assuming it goes mainstream ..that means price as well as availability.

It will start with below average , and average men gravitating to the Artificial partners first, more and more as time goes on.

Followed by women complaining they cant find a good man. (those men that don't go artificial will be the 'playboys')

Followed by a generation (or two) of women relearning to desire & pursue 'normal average' men rather than expecting 10/10s

Followed by men slowly turning back to traditional relationships.


Meanwhile whilst this goes on, birth rates will plummet, assuming current politics dont change this will be offset by mass migration (like it currently is) but to a larger extent. This in turn will(is) cause(ing) its own societal problems.

Eventually you'll see the dating scene and relationships scene return to pre 2000.

it wouldnt be pretty ...and it wouldnt be 'fast', and it will have a bunch of knock-on effects. it will likely even get political as governments try to 'fix' the problem through forceful means.

Porn has (in one way or another) indirectly driven technological advancement. I've been seeing more and more videos of more realistic companion robots. We're still in the uncanny valley stage of things, and these robots are ridiculously expensive and are prototypes. They ARE getting more advanced though, and serious money is being put behind their development. Ultimately, they don't even have to be hyper intelligent to go mainstream. I've dated actual women that probably couldn't pass the turning test. They just have to look and function the part so sentience isn't necessarily important.

but

What happens to the porn industry or relationships in general when we master the art of realistic companions?

My guess is there will be a widespread campaign to socially stigmatize anyone that buys or interacts with these robots, but that will be short lived. Inevitably, companion bots will gradually phase out relationships and the digital porn industry. A large scale movement of traditional relationships will be enacted but it will lose steam when you can design and bang literally any partner of your choosing.


What do you guys think?

What do we do? Have sex i guess
