    The person does have a point. A vibrator or fleshlight cannot feel what you do to it. It’s not sex, it’s masturbating. Sure, all fun and games, but the part where you do things to another human for shared pleasure is missing.

      If you want share feelings with a human, find a human to share feelings with.

      Go to a strip club, hire an escort, get a ‘massage’… these things can be done.

      Or, you know, actually try to have a real relationship with an actual human.

      If you want a fuck toy, get a fuck toy.

      If you want a fuck toy that reacts in a manner emulating it having actual sensations… this does not require AI, it only takes a bit of clever coding, a bit of extra sensors in the toy itself, and a decent voice actress and a decent writer.

      AI is massive overkill from a technical standpoint.

      And a fuckbot doesn’t have feelings.

      It only emulates them.

      A fuckbot with a complex LLM system that emulates having feelings literally just is masturbation with an enormous amount of extra steps… you can again achieve ~95% of the same fidelity of experience with a more clever technical approach that is something like 10,000x more efficient in terms of required compute power.

      … It is also a security nightmare, unless the LLM on board this sexbot is running entirely locally, where we again run into the problem of this being economically infeasible for mass production… you need a fairly beefy computer to run a local LLM, so thats gonna be the bare minimum cost floor for any sextoy/bot that isn’t livestreaming all your masturbation sessions to the corporate cloud.
