The hyper-real robots that will replace receptionists, pop stars... and even sex dolls: Unnervingly

[BenLurkin]

Chillingly life-like robots are causing a storm in Japan – where their creators are about to launch them as actresses, full-size mechanical copies for pop idol fans, and clones of the dearly departed.

There is even talk that the naturalistic, even engaging, she-droids may be taken up as men as partners in the not-too-distant future.

Android Asuna was a star attraction at Tokyo Designers’ Week showcase earlier this month and she is one of a series of geminoids, as their inventor dubs them, that are ripe for commercialisation say their creator robotics professor Hiroshi Ishiguro.

...

A fully independent version of the geminoid is expected in 10 years using all the above technologies to make her virtually indistinguishable from humans says Mr. Takeshi Mita, CEO of A-Lab in Tokyo, the company working with Prof. Ishiguro to make Asuna and her kind commercial.

'We already have 20 year's experience making androids in the lab. So in 10 years we will marry AI and life like geminoids in perfection,' he told MailOnline.

You will probably end up with some technician in India asking you technical and intimate questions about the product.

Nah, forget it.

It’s 2014 in America. It was acceptable for many ‘conservatives’ when Thad Cockroach fessed up Didn’t stop them from demanding we support him. Why should I stay in the closet? Sheep now...Sheep forever! ;)

Um, guys? What do you think will happen to men when women can buy a walking, talking vibrator that never goes soft, never farts or has morning breath, never forgets to shave, never argues, never wants to change the channel, and never gets tired of giving her his undivided attention and paying rapt attention to her every word?

Trust me.

Women will want their robots to argue with them.

Cherry 2000 versus The Stepford Wives. Hmm...

[Salamander]

Ha.

Mudd’s woman troubles.

[Norm Lenhart]

Then you might want to avoid the section of the porn industry dedicated to them as well...

Yup. They went there.

[Salamander]

All you have to do is call and ask specifically for Mary or Dave.

Possibly ‘5” outside ZomZoms. Must have been “Down in the Park” With Gary

Play Music
“Down In The Park”

Down in the park with the machmen
meet the machines playing kill by numbers
Down in the park with a friend called five
I was in a car crash or was it the war
But I’ve never been quite the same
Little white lies like I was there

Come to Zom-Zom’s the place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans trying to run
Oh look there’s a rape machine
I’d go outside if it’d look the other way
Wouldn’t believe the things they do

Down in the park
Where the chant is death, death, death
‘Til sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine
We are not lovers, we are not romantics
We are here to serve you
Different face but the words never change

“Um, guys? What do you think will happen to men when women can buy a walking, talking vibrator...”

Most women I know wouldn’t be able to get the thing to work. “Honey, the walking talking vibrator crashed again...”

[Secret Agent Man]

..and doesn’t b1tch about it.

When the fembots start b1tching about it, it’s really game over.

[Ramius]

Did I mention that it vibrates! ...Vibrates!
