This is why we can’t have nice things.
The man behind an “intelligent” sex robot named “Samantha” says the kinky creation needs to be repaired thanks to “barbarians” at a tech industry festival.
Engineer Sergi Santos, of Barcelona, Spain, wanted to show off Samantha at the Arts Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria, last week.
The randy robot is programmed with artificial intelligence so that she responds to gentle seduction. Samantha seemingly gets more aroused the more she’s “romanced.”
The idiots on the panel discussion were just that idiots. Science fiction has been filled with ‘personal’ robots for decades. Now that the technology is finally catching up, they’re going nutty.
Surprise, surprise. Men treating a female gendered robot designed to be used for men’s sexual fantasies in an abusive fashion. Just take a look at the most popular videos on almost any porn site and you will see the same thing – except that real women are the objects to be abused. With a robot, they can go much further without consequences. Anyone who does not see this story as truly disturbing needs to have his or her head examined. Robots or ‘sex bots’ are now what insects and small animals were to the abusers and psycos of the past – the first step.
