    Would it really be a bad thing? May the incels will get laid and move on. Maybe the guy who gets rejected will go home and fuck his bot instead of stalking the girl who rejected him. And maybe girls won’t have to take it in the ass even though they don’t really want to, but feel like they have to. They can say, just fuck the bot in the ass. Marriage rates will probably decline, and so will total divorces after a while. Which means less kids raised in split or single households. Plenty of good “could” cum from this.

      Yeah but can a sex bot piss in my mouth while sucking my dick while I yell “but mommy I don’t like apple juice”?

      I’ve heard far too many stories about how ChatGPT inflames the narcissistic tendencies of the people who use it and turns them into unbearable assholes. I can’t imagine how adding a pocketpussy or vibrator to the device will improve things.

      All those things could be more readily solved by just legalizing and de-stigmatizing sex work. AI sex bots actively harm that industry by taking work away from humans, just like how a hypothetical AI acting bot would harm the acting industry.

        The work could be done cheaper by robots, presumably. And sure, I’m all for legalized sex work. But if a machine can do it better, faster, and cheaper - why not? Fleshlights exist - are you opposed to those because they take work from sex workers? Ludditism always fails - if human sex workers are still around after we have fully functioning sex bots, it is because they can provide something the bots can’t. And I think this will be the case - at the end of the day, we know on a deep level that there is a difference between fucking a bot and fucking a real human.

          Just because we can automate something, doesn’t mean we should. At least not until we live in a moneyless society.

            You’re really setting yourself up for disappointment here. You’ve created a dichotomy - either we should avoid automating things which can be automated (which isn’t going to happen - consumers like low prices and shareholders like higher profits), or we should transition to a moneyless society (which is also not going to happen, money is useful and everyone likes it).

            Morally? I don’t think there is a moral component here. It’s like saying earthquakes are morally wrong. Technological innovation happens when its time comes, and trying to stop it is akin to trying to stop an earthquake. Sure, you can choose not to use the tech if you don’t want to, but others will. You can form comminities which agree not to use the tech (like the Amish), but those outsude your communities will use the tech. You might even get your government to ban the tech - but then you end up with the war on drugs, or south america style inflation, or North Korean levels of policing.

            If you want to wax poetic about the wonderful work of hand-weaving textiles, be my guest. But I will very happyly wear a machine-woven shirt for a fraction of the cost so that I can spend my money on something else that I value more.

        I mean your right, but if I were to guess which is more likely, sex bots takes the win.

      Still won’t address emotional needs, whether those needs be healthy or unhealthy. If a robot could actually satisfy, why doesn’t jacking off work as well as actually getting laid? Same difference with a bot.

      Doubtful - these actions are driven by emotions, not the need to get off. If it were the latter, they could just jerk off at home today and they wouldnt do these things.

      They can say, just fuck the bot in the ass.

      They can currently just say “no”… I’m not sure why we need sex bots to save us from being bad at communicating.

      Marriage rates will probably decline, and so will total divorces after a while

      Again, doubt. If you are getting married for the sake of having sex, then you are probably in some kind of restrictive religion. And these religions will probably tell you that fucking a bot is an abomination. If you aren’t, then you’ll marry for the same reasons people marry today, and marriage and divorce will stay at about the same rate.

        Why do people do this, just pull apart someone’s comment, dismiss and disregard everything they say. No questions. Just, bam bam bam, you’re wrong on all counts, because my opinion thinks you are wrong and my opinion is somehow more valid than yours. Do you talk to people like this irl. Wtf.

          Do you not? Someone says something that sounds likely false. So I say “I don’t think that is true”. And then we can discuss whether or not it is likely true.
