"Darling, not today, I have a headache": a sex robot has been taught to refuse a man

People's relationships with sex robots are no longer a fantasy, but a reality. And if earlier "mechanical women" were just trouble-free toys, which caused protests by women's rights defenders, now the robot can refuse to have sex and even turn off if it doesn't like something. What's wrong with a wife? Only you don't need to feed and you won't ask for a fur coat.

The hour is not far off when a man, sitting on the couch at home, will snuggle up to his cyber-friend, well, and she will say: "Not today, dear, I have a headache." Previously, sex robots did not differ in this behavior: saying no to their master was not in their rules.

But at a scientific exhibition in the UK, the public was presented with a sex robot Samantha, a girl with a character. The artificial intelligence of a sex robot is programmed so that it can get attached to its owner, but it is quite wayward. If Samantha is in a bad mood, she can refuse her man. In addition, she has sensors all over her body, and if, for example, she is grabbed too roughly or harassed too persistently, she can turn off altogether and turn into a useless piece of plastic.

Samantha has several modes: family, romantic and sex mode. And if the owner suddenly forgets to turn on the sex mode and tells the silicone girlfriend that he loves her, she may well answer: "Prove it."

The appearance of sex robots with ultra-realistic appearance on the market earlier angered activists who felt that the reliability of dolls humiliates real women and can provoke men to real rape. This prompted Spaniard Sergi Santos and his wife Maritza Kissamitaki to add a rejection function to Samantha.

The activists were still not satisfied with Samantha's new function. Professor Kathleen Richardson, founder of the campaign against sex robots, said during the presentation that such dolls only help the spread of pornography and prostitution. In addition, according to her, it is "a senseless waste of money that could have been spent on something really necessary."

Experts suggest that within a year hundreds of people across the UK will become owners of high-tech sex dolls. And it will not only be people who have some kind of fetish. Back in April 2018, at a scientific conference, Kate Devlin from the University of London said that couples can also become buyers of sex robots.

A sex robot is not an ordinary rubber doll that can only satisfy the sexual desires of its owner, but a full-fledged interlocutor. Already in the future we can witness full-fledged relationships between people and sex robots and even real marriages.
