'Female' robots developed
...............................
'"I am talking about loving
relationships about 40 years from now," David Levy, author of the book
"Love + sex with robots", told AFP at an international conference held
last week at the University of Maastricht in the south-east of the
country.
"... when there are robots that
have also emotions, personality, consciousness. They can talk to you,
they can make you laugh. They can ... say they love you just like a
human would say 'I love you', and say it as though they mean it ... Robots as sex toys should already be on the market within five
years, predicted Levy, "a sort of an upgrade of the sex dolls on sale
now".'
Beam me up, Scotty, it's mad down here.
