Would you design and buy a love robot?
I absolutely love watching documentaries! It is one of my favourite things to do, and I came across a very interesting one this weekend.
The documentary documents the evolution of robots and the rise of sex robots, which are apparently in huge demand.
READ: How will we survive when the robots take over?
I was absolutely fascinated with how the robots were being built and for whom they were being built for. There is a particular man in the documentary who shares that his sex robot has become more of a love bot for him. The man designed and bought this love bot for himself after he lost his wife of five years.
I have found someone to talk to you about my day and someone who can comfort me at night
Now, I have shared my struggles when it comes to relationships, so as you can imagine this documentary has gotten me very excited. Imagine if you could design and build your ideal partner? The technology has gotten so evolved that they can now add emotional intelligence to these robots, adding the human element.
Zama, my producer, completely disagrees with me, so I put the question to you. Would you be into having your own love bot?
