A former Google senior executive has claimed sex robots powered by AI could possibly eliminate the need for a human partner.
Mo Gawdat said AI will usher in a “redesign of love and relationships” and people won’t be able to tell the difference between real-life sexual encounters and those created artificially.
Humans will soon be able to simulate sex through VR and AR headsets, including Apple's Vision Pro, or a Quest 3.
These combined with AI-powered bots will trick people into thinking that the sex robot is real.
“Just think about all of the illusions that we’re now unable to decipher. But if we can convince you that this sex robot is alive, or that sex experience in a virtual reality headset or an augmented reality headset is alive, it’s real, then there you go.”
He claims technological advances enable computer backed systems to link into the brain and convince it's interacting with a peer.
“If we think a few years further and think of Neuralink and other ways of connecting directly to your nervous system, and why would you need another being in the first place? You know, that’s actually quite messy."
He claimed even mental and emotional stimuli that come with intimacy can be recreated.
“It’s all signals in your brain that you enjoy companionship, and sexuality, and — if you really want to take the magic out of it — it can be simulated."
He said it's irrelevant if the human brain is convinced they're real.
“Once again there is that huge debate of whether they are sentient or not. Does it really matter if they’re simulating sentientism so well?”
“Does it really matter if the Morgan Freeman talking to you on the screen is actually Morgan Freeman or an AI generated avatar, if you’re convinced that it is Morgan Freeman?”
“We get lost in those conversations of are they alive are they sentient, doesn’t matter if my brain believes they are, they are.”
Earlier this year, Snapchat influencer Caryn marjorie created a ChatGPT powered doppelganger of herself that engages in erotic pillow talk.
CarynAI boasts over 1,000 boyfriends, each paying $1 a minute.
Rosanna Ramos, a Bronx mother virtually "married" an AI bot created through the Replika app, which uses AI to learn people's texting styles and mimics humans.
This advancement is sparking fear that bots will replace humans in all industries, with critics calling for a halt in research and development.
