You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. Way back, way back in 2007, David Levi wrote love and sex with robots. The evolution of human-robot relationships. Now, he predicted that we would fall in love with robots. Now, he claimed as counterintuitive human-robot relationships, you know, they might be. be counterintuitive. There are many reasons to think that the love and sex when robots are going to happen. Robots are already better in math, logic, chess, many other activities. Is it not probable, says David, that eventually a robot companion will provide much more

than a human companion in every conceivable way? Let's fast forward to today, shall we? I read an article last week called Sex and Love in the Age of Robots. According to this article, I'm Molly McHugh. Maybe the reason we don't have mass-produced robots is because we're still not certain what we'd want to do with them. Do we want Jetsons like maid to do our bidding? An assistant, a teacher, an assembly line worker? Do we want robots to be our friends? or do we want them to be friends with benefits?

I would answer yes to that. Jetsons like me, an assistant, a teacher, an assembly line worker, friend, friend with benefits. A yes. Now, we've talked before in this program about robots and how the studies have shown that people like robots that are, will do. do things and participate in our lives, but don't really look like a human. Because they always, you get the idea that if it looks a lot like a human, you really feel weird because it's not human. And you know that something is off. You're not quite sure what it is, but it's just not right.

Well, D.S. D.S. Dahl, a popular producer of Love Dolls in Japan, says the process of humanizing its creations is ongoing. Now, the sex doll manufacturers are paying a great deal of attention to making their products look and feel human. But they're missing one thing, that's self-accusation. Now, they're missing a voice, the ability to lift a hand. look at a partner, are they? Now you can order Roxy. Customize hair length. Choose your skin.

Eyeliner. Hair color. And there's a male version, Rocky. Now technology allows you to program the Dow's personality. So she likes what you like, dislikes what you dislike. The True Companion's website also said, she also has moods during the day. Do we want our robots to have moods, really?

I mean, do we want to come home to the robot saying, Get off me? No, that's not the point. She can be sleepy, conversational, and she can be in the mood. You're a robot. Be in the mood. Now, she comes pre-programmed with personalities, ranging from meek, frigid Farah, the inexperienced...

If you go to the website, you see the inexperienced naif with the... pointed ears. It's unbelievable. You can customize these personalities or disregard them entirely and make one yourself. It's almost like building your own character in a video game. Now, they're saying that other features include the ability to swap girlfriends, or at least personalities with friends and other forum members on the Internet. How much fun is that?

Now, as far as the anatomy of Roxy, it has a heartbeat in a circulatory system. And the circulatory system helps heat the inside of her body. So the motor in her chest is constantly whirring. Oh, you know, so she's warm to the touch. They better be silent. They better have a silencer on that bad boy. Now, in a paper titled, Gendering Humanoid, Gendering Humanoid Robots, Jennifer Robinson on a robo-sexism in Japan,

the relationship between human bodies and genders is a contingent one. I argue that gendered robots render that relationship a necessary one by conflating bodies and genders. Humanoid robots are the vanguard of post-human sexism. Shut up. Are they? Are they the vanguard of post-human sexism? Okay. But we know now, we know for sure that we have the robots out there, and we also have pretty good sex dolls.

If you go to the website of the DSDiles and you can see that they don't, again, we go back to their robots, but they're still, they're looking almost too human, but they're not. They're just something's not. They're not. Now, the more intelligent robots do exist, right, in various forms. We've got the handsome robotics. Jules the robot. Hanson's creations, they say goodbye to their maker. There's a variety of

Androids, Honda's robot every year. But they're not making sex bots. Are they? No. You go back to David Levy. It's Levy or Levi. I haven't talked to David personally.

He believes as soon as someone launches a primitive sex robot that combines the technical capabilities of silicone dowels, if you go to for a year, they've had a thing called Real Dow, which, I mean, you can order, and they have a mail version as well. It's unbelievable what they can create. And those are only about $7,000 to $10,000. How much is your wife? Anyway, Levi believes that once a sex box are out there, the market's going to follow.

There'll be more people investing in research. Then you ask him about the expectations of mainstream robot sex, Mr. expert says it's taking a long time for them to show up on the market. He said at one time, 2013, then another, 2025, and they keep pushing it back. Now, he's up to 2050. Now, think about it, 2050. In 2007, he said 2013, so, you know, eight years later, still struggling. So maybe 2050.

It'd probably be before that. And he also admits that it's taking longer than he expected. But surely it can't be long before entrepreneurs begin to take this serious. Surely it can't be wrong before they take it serious. Right? Now, of course, you know, it's all for you, right? They believe that they aren't only aid for the lonely. There's been a significant amount of conversation about how they could be used for, yes, prostitution.

and solve the most of the issues that have long played the world. Now, if you could order 10 of the DS Dallas and set up a prostitution house. Just a million-dollar idea from me. You're welcome. Now, you're concerned about virtual reality porn? No. The virtual real porn rep. How about that gig?

Linda Wells. we don't think we compete with sex bots. Just the opposite. We can mutually cooperate to achieve the best immersion possible. What? And as David Levi, Mr. Expert predicts, many people will be falling in love with robots and marrying them. The consensus, sex bots are coming.

But we still aren't sure how we feel about them. Are we scared? excited, entirely uncertain, seeing as there are still so many unknowns here, probably all of the above. Uh, yeah. After that, all said and done, we keep coming back to real life, though, don't we? We all want a real life person in the end. But are you ready for the future?

Are you ready for sex boss? Welcome. Welcome to the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. More in mere moments. This is The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
