    Sexbots are a lot easier though, all they have to do is lie there, take it, and tell us what we want to hear. LLMs are already reasonably good at the last bit.

      “You’re absolutely right, there is no such sex move referred to as The Cincinnati Slapshot, and it was wrong of me to request that. If you like, I can suggest a different move instead?”

      Oh sweet baby jesus no it is not. The robot would load the dishes into the the dishwashing machine, then put the clean dishes away when the dishwashing cycle is complete.

        that definetely sounds doable, but no fuck you here’s a dancing robot, here’s a fighting robot, and here’s a stripper robot.

        • It’s not so doable as it turns out. The whole dancing routine can be preprogrammed once you figure out balancing and gross motor skills, which they did. But the dishes is fine motor skill, spatial awareness, object manipulation. It would be a lot easier if each plate, utensils and cooking ware would have a grip for robot grippers and a QR code, with a fixed cubby in the dish washer and cabinet. Lacking that, a lot more work needs to be done in better robot hands, perception, reasoning and manipulation.

          Right? Dancing humans and fighting humans and stripping humans are already awesome.

          I want a sink full of dirty dishes to turn in to a cabinet full of clean dishes, and a laundry basket full of dirty clothes to turn into a drawer full of clean, folded clothes.

          Why is humanity even bothering anymore? Nobody asked for a robot that writes novels and paints. Just shut it all down. Fuck this.

    Sex bots make zero sense to me.

    The entire appeal of sex is that there’s another person involved! Two (or more) humans working together to make each other feel good!

    Like, if you’re not going to have another real human involved, why not just a vibrator/dildo/fleshlight?

      It’s essentially a fancy sex toy on the same level of a vibrator. That said there’s a fair amount of people who seem to struggle to find mates to have sex with and have even turned to using or even loving dolls.

      Allow me to introduce the incels.

      Hard to get that experience when no one wants to be around you at all, let alone naked.

      sex feels nice but I don’t see why we cant have both, my partner and I own toys of different kinds and I don’t see this as being any different

    The only people who could afford them already have human servants. They just want sex dolls. And friends. Robots to admire their “wit”.

      Not to burst your bubble, but they don’t want dolls. That’s a service that was originally provided by Epstein, now whoever has become his successor.
