    You really do not need AI for a sexbot.

    What you need is an actually nimble yet also very precise humanoid robot, more or less with a fleshlight installed, not a personality emulator.

    We already have plenty of gooner video games and porn that sufficiently works for the uh, narrative, and emotional engagement.

    The actual hard part of building a sex bot…

    Is building a humanoid robot, that doesn’t cost 50 million dollars.

    This is actually quite difficult, as evidenced by the fact that we are replacing all the office jobs with disembodied ‘AI’ before we are replacing all the menial labor tasks that can only be done with human dexterity and physical/kinesthetic adaptability.

    We still do not have any AI-Robot combo that can assemble a hamburger, then clean out the hood, then stock the freezer, then work the cash register… then go home and do, lets call them a specific subset of acrobatics.

    You could automate those processes via roboticization or digitization … as their own tasks, but not as something all done by one thing.

    We still do not have the long promised by scifi humanoid robot, not at scales and costs that would make them even approaching commonplace.

    Making a sexbot is a robotics engineering and economic problem much, much more than it is anything like an AI problem.

    If what you want is a fleshlight or vibrator or plug with a speaker, that bluethooths into your pc to act as a chatbot…

    Well thats comparatively easy to do.

    We have had … tele-sex toys for like a decade now, we already have fancy bj emulating machines that reproduce what someone else does to something like a dildo, from the other side of the planet, local remote controlled plugs and such…

        You are the kind of person who is the reason why the machines decide to kill us all in much of scifi.

        This would be a thing that could literally pop your balls like a grape, simply from an actual unintentional error, muchless an intentional act.

        … Are you aware that the latest LLM models… have no problem resorting to blackmail, should they feel sufficiently threatened?

        Even murder?

        Maybe you do not want your sexbot to have these ‘mental’ inclinations, the capacity to feel ashamed or threatened, nor give them a physical body to just directly affectuate their desires in meatspace?

          The person does have a point. A vibrator or fleshlight cannot feel what you do to it. It’s not sex, it’s masturbating. Sure, all fun and games, but the part where you do things to another human for shared pleasure is missing.
