Some folks is just butt ugly and will take whatever they can get.

I can see 2 types of people using these things: desperate/lonely people, and pervs.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Interesting article but I see one major design flaw...
Why on Earth would you want to buy one that talks?

The ethics of the former is the ethics of 1984... thought-crimes? No thank you.
The ethics of the latter is the same as the ethics of any person encouraging someone else to act upon their desires (gluttony, lust, hate, disgust)... it depends upon the harm and / or legality of the act.

Even at the most extreme peak of technology where the robots are like terminators but for sex, someone like me wouldn't be interested. I like the challenge and puzzle of figuring out how to have sex with humans. I like the element of not knowing if success is imminent or not. I like giving real pleasure to someone.
But I'm sure the robots would be popular, just like I don't go see prostitutes but they are popular.
I would say if a man or woman thinks they are getting everything they need from a machine, that probably makes them some sort of psychopath, or at least someone who has no interest in human love. To me that means it's not so bad they're taken out of the gene pool. They don't have kids because they're fucking these robots. I think natural selection takes care of the ethics of it for you.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

And if some men do, wouldn't women want them eliminated from the dating/relationship pool?
I thought women were sex robots. No?
Only if I reward them properly. (sigh)

Like that kind of thing? Creeps me out. What will it smell like? Feel like (especially with regard to the wetness of sex)? Will it give fellatio, and if so, what if some accident happened, and he was dismembered, or some other kind of accident happened? I could see this kind of being a fad at best (how expensive will this be?).
As for societal impact, I believe this (presumably somewhat failed) technology will leave scraps of itself that evolve into other things (not sure what) that have a more lasting impact (and maybe less detrimental).
That shit is crazy as hell! I've seen too many scary movies to ever want something like that in my house, lol. You'd think they would have the technology to make her sound a little less like Siri, and a little more like a woman, though.

If they could program one of those to adequately simulate sex (with enough variations to keep it interesting) then they could make a chorebot. They already have those vacuuming bots but I am talking sweeping, dusting, cleaning bathrooms, feed and walk dog, do dishes, etc. I am not being sexist. I would not demand this chorebot look like Audrey Hepburn in a French maid outfit. Hell, I don't care if it looks like a pogo stick. If it gets the job done , I am on board!
What if it only came in the variety of an erect Channing Tatum? 😋

Exactly. A little realism is needed.

Lol. Maybe they could even create a "Not tonight; I'm constipated," response, and set it to 'shuffle'. 😁
