    I want to know what the state of the art AI sex robot is right now. Because they have those realistic-ish sex dolls, and some pretty advanced LLMs that can chat conversationally, and longer term memory is starting to get into the LLM repertoire so your bot can remember things about you and reference them later.

    I feel like we’re 3-5 years away from a high end AI prostitute startup becoming huge.

      It pains me to think that there soon may be a whole new employment field built around the demand for workers trained to muck out robo-vajayjay.

      “natural” movement and the Uncanny Valley might be the next biggest hurdle actually.

      My favorite part, is that ALL of the current AI companion products use subscriptions to LLM services instead of having built in models.

      Which means ifwhen the company stops paying their bill, or if the AI company goes under, your waifus goes kaput. Or more likely just restructuring because of a buyout. It’s already happened with a few companies -> big tech buys out the company then stops supporting the product line, that then customers get mad. IIRC, coincidentally HP is being sue for doing just that with some recent buyout right now lmao.

      The ante seems to get upped each time, and there exists at least one unstable lonely maniac that will not consider legal consequences to their actions when they are suddenly rugpulled out of their unhealthy addictive relationship, so there’s still room for the bubble to burst in an even more epic crash.
