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.
Get yer pitchforks! They're a'coming for our blowjerbs!
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.
But not necessarily because they were wrong.
Just because we can automate something, doesn't mean we should. At least not until we live in a moneyless society.
I mean your right, but if I were to guess which is more likely, sex bots takes the win.
Sure, I was just pushing back on the "wouldn't AI sex bots be good actually" take
you're right, but consider: unless we're going even farther down the subscription shithole, a sexbot would be a one time purchase.
They are definitely going to make the personality updates and features all subscription based.
