Robot Lovers

David Levy wrote Love and Sex With Robots and like any modern author he has to promote it. One way to do that is to make claims like robot human marriages by 2050.

There are already companies in the United States and Japan that produce lifelike sex dolls, he said. Consumers can customize their dolls right down to body type and hair style, but current dolls lack interactivity.

It’s just a matter of finding an entrepreneur willing to put up the capital to combine these sex dolls with existing artificial intelligence technology to make dolls that can react to their sexual partners through speech and movement, Levy said.

Human/robot love inevitable, researcher says

People do pay ten grand and up for high end sexual simulacra like the Real Dolls. But those rubber lovers are such awful, pathetic looking things.

And anyone investing his money in trying to marry current AI, sex dolls and the primitive robotics of the present age would deservedly lose his money.

Besides if all the necessaries ever do come together to create charming cyborg lovers very, very few people will be able to afford to buy, er, marry one.
