“Ultra-realistic sex robot”, AKA sex slave. We can’t have real sex slaves, because that’s immoral and wrong. So, we’ll build “ultra-realistic” robot slaves, indistinguishable from humans. That’ll side-step all the moral issues, right?
To paraphrase Hitchens:
Our prefrontal cortex is not as developed as it should be; our hormonal system is far too strong; our thumbs are barely opposable; our sex organs clearly designed by committee.
To quote Darwin:
“We bear the stamp of our lowly origin”
It’ll create new ones. There’s been companies promising advanced AI that turned out to be outsourced Indian workers answering prompts in sweatshop conditions. Now apply this to a company renting out “indistinguishable sex bots”.
I mean… you’re assuming that no one would simulate consensual sex with these? (Reminder: robots have no consciousness, they’re not animals) They’re really no more slave to you than your dildos.
I highly doubt everyone goes full Epstein the moment they get the chance lol

What the fuck is wrong with us?

Yes, that does sidestep the moral issues, actually. Unless you mean to claim that “ai” is actually intelligent?

I wouldn’t call the mechanical turk a new ethical issue, but you do raise a good point.
I once tried to work for it, it was not available in my region. I could have been the sex bot rn, dodged a bullet.
Slavery kinda implies consciousness. Is your microwave a slave?
TIL my 16 mode clit stim (with tongue!) solves the moral issue with sex slaves.
