Yesterday, Scott Adams posted on his blog about realistic, life-sized sex dolls currently in production. Speculating that it’s only a matter of time before dolls are imbued with an artificial intelligence that would make them virtually indistinguishable from a human woman. He left off with a question:
QUESTION: Hypothetically, in the future, if a sex doll robot was indistinguishable from a human woman, and you weren’t in a relationship with a human, would you tap the robot?
Today, he posted the responses:
About 95% of the hetero guys said they would. The other 5% expressed a strong preference for lying.
Like you didn’t see it coming.
Has no one seen the Futurama where this goes disastrously wrong?
PS: Yes, I would tap a fembot.
I know it, you know it, every smart people knows it: AI is still far far far far far far far far far far far far far…….. far far far far far way from being able to compete with human. So we will 1)Never see such dolls before end of century 2) When they come, we will have many bigger issues to deal with.
NO WAY! BERK
