Sex Dolls Army
Are sex dolls safe?
Could sex dolls and sex robots pose a real threat to humanity?
It is always the same fear: the unknown. In this case, the big question is really not about the sex dolls. It's the whole AI thing. We can't see it but we already begin to realize it's out there. Artificial Intelligence is slowly but surely taking over the world and it is probably something we should be concerned with. Just think about it; our cars, our phones, home appliances... Everything is connected to a great mysterious web.
Now, what are the chances of being attacked by a sex doll? And really, will an AI companion robot disguised in a form of a lovely 5'4 sexy blonde, be ever more dangerous than a self-driving car or your intelligent fridge?
As Lauren Eileen writes in her recent post in THE BRAG: 'There are some, of course, who find the idea of A.I. sex robots abhorrent – and more still who consider them a safety risk waiting to happen. Late last year, a security defence consultant named Dr Nick Patterson kicked off a wave of online horror when he suggested that a sex doll could be remotely repurposed to murder. “Hackers can hack into a robot or a robotic device and have full control of the connections, arms, legs and other attached tools like in some cases knives or welding devices,” Patterson told The Star Online. “Once a robot is hacked, the hacker has full control and can issue instructions to the robot.”
This is one kinky fantasy, Mr Patterson. But we get it. It is hard to imagine a fridge trying to kill you. But it's much easier to fantasize about a wicked doll, a stunning busty silicone beauty trying to go after you. Yeah, right... What happens here is that all of the sudden our internal fears are externalized. They have a shape and very distinct form - they look like real humans, they even talk. It is a very interesting situation. Just think about it; out of all things considered, climate change, terrorism etc. we worry about the sentient doll chasing us with a kitchen knife. It is probably because our true fears are always rooted deeper and we fear the unfamiliar rather than what has been part of our reality for centuries.
There are other questions that deserve much more attention, valid questions too. As Ms Eileen suggests: 'Not, mind you, that we can ignore the ethical worries already being stirred up by sex robots. “[The] big challenge will be from artificial intelligences that are capable of complex thought and behaviour,” philosopher Sam Shpall told the BRAGearlier this year. “Would you choose to date an A.I. if it is likely to satisfy all your desires better than a human being? Would this be irrational or wrong, and if so why? I’m unsatisfied with my own thinking about these questions.”
Dating a robot is, after all, a different story than fucking one, and some thinkers like Lily Eva Frank argue that for a robot to truly love a human, it would have to have “feelings and internal experiences. You might even say that it would have to be self-aware.” Which, needless to say, creates further problems.'
We agree. There are potential moral, ethical and psychological challenges ahead but there are also many potential benefits. Plus, let's not forget, sex dolls are meant to be fun, they are entertainment products, build for companionship not a higher purpose. Whether they save the humanity or destroy it, that remains to be seen (LOL).
Great and very intelligent article by Lauren Eileen published recently in Australian THE BRAG - read the whole thing here:
And to Dr Nick Patterson we dedicate this song by The White Stripes:
Can you imagine a sex doll army?
“I’m gonna fight ‘em all
A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back
They’re gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I’m talking to myself at night
Because I can’t forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Don’t want to hear about it
Every single one’s got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it”
