AI robot sex dolls are coming, and they’re not just a science fiction gimmick. Although the artificial intelligence companion robots in movies such as "Mecha Girl" and "Artificial Intelligence" have not yet appeared, it is only a matter of time.

Today, most companion robots are nothing more than new sex dolls with minor mechanical features. They are not just designed for emotion; they are designed to express emotion. They can talk about science and philosophy and even tell jokes. If you treat it badly, or it doesn't like your behavior, it will go into sleep mode. Their current average price is $10,000.

The question here is not if they will emerge or how they will advance, the question here is about the psychological and social impacts, and as with any technology, there will always be a long list of pros and cons to consider as things evolve. Many opinions were expressed, and they were generally similar. On the one hand, they think it's just a doll - a companion robot is just a very advanced form of a doll. On the other hand, they are concerned with finding and becoming emotionally attached to a robotic sex doll. No one can give a clear answer as to whether this is right or wrong, and everyone has some arguments for and against companion robots.

advantage

Companion robot sex dolls could help improve personal well-being, including providing companionship and perhaps emotional comfort to those without a partner. With sufficiently advanced forms of artificial intelligence, people could develop potentially satisfying relationships with robot companions. Proponents of the use of companion robots argue that companion robots are friendly, that they will allow people who vent their frustrations by harassing or attacking others in public to do so, or that they are a good tool for learning and gaining experience. interpersonal relationships. In fact, it might just be a fun addition for both individuals and partners. In many cases, social interaction is seen as a natural progression for technology advocates.

shortcoming

Those opposed to integrating robotic sex dolls into society are quick to point out the problems this new technology could pose. First, there are ethical questions about companionship, namely whether intimacy with an AI form is an act of infidelity. Ethics plays a role in many of the arguments against companion robots. Companion robots are, in the eyes of some, furthering the idea of objectifying humans. In addition, they believe that a person with a tendency to harass or be violent will exacerbate future negative behavior by using a robot, which is why many people are worried about the production of companion robots.

Overall, there are concerns that robot companions will lead to a decline in human empathy. There are concerns that the wrong kind of emotional connection could have negative psychological consequences for vulnerable people. Finally, some worry that companion robots will create unrealistic expectations when a person goes from interacting with a real robot doll to interacting with a human.


So far, research on public attitudes toward robotic sex dolls is far from saturated. Scientists may have avoided the topic for a variety of reasons, with some considering it a novel discussion and others considering it too embarrassing as a study. Needless to say, this topic does have ethical, psychological, and social relevance and deserves serious study. As it stands, there are broad and recognized gaps in current research. A recent study showed that participants generally found communicating with a robot love doll to be easier and more acceptable than communicating with a human, with women less willing than men to hug a robot companion, and older generations finding it less comfortable to have close contact with a robot. Fit: Millennials prefer robots to robots.

Certainly, the introduction of adult sex dolls has changed the face of human interaction and intimacy, but how and to what extent is an open question, and it is the responsibility of researchers. What are its psychosocial impacts? Can robot companions really replace the human experience? What kind of latest development will companion robot dolls be considered? Does this industry need regulation? If so, who would be impartial enough to provide such oversight?

In a world where people are running for money, there will always be people who are willing to offer anything for a dollar. We must ask these questions, develop hypotheses, and prepare for the transition from science fiction to the real social world.
