AI expert says that 'sex robots' will be mainstream in 10 years

A former advisor to the United Nations on robotics and AI expert has warned that the use of "sex robots" will go mainstream in the next decade, according to The Telegraph. The picture he paints is one in which humans lose touch with the ability to recognize normal behaviors and patterns of interaction – or that people with no prior experience will have a distorted view of sexual relationships. What are you going to think of the opposite sex then? What would they think a woman or a man actually is?" Sharkey's other key concern seems to revolve around the use of robots in general, but that also applies to sex robots – and that's ultimately that anyone who interacts with one and forms any sort of'bond' is deceiving themselves about the reality of that'relationship'. "These robots are deceiving them and fooling them into thinking they love something that can't love them back."
