    But perhaps the most striking claim from the report is that by 2050 robot sex could overtake human sex. “Virtual sex with AIs or robots will compete with human sex, but robots will be expensive,” it states. “It might feel very pleasant, and will be perfect for those people who want to live their ultimate fantasy without all the strings and emotional commitments of real relationships.”

    Total fertility rates in developed countries are already below – and in some cases, far below – replacement rate. I am thinking that this isn’t gonna help.

      Let’s create a society where people want to live and participate in, not fuck their toaster for the entire day.

      masturbation already is higher than human sex and plenty of human sex is intentionaly non procreative. Robot sex would mostly pull from the masterbation pool. It will be the sex people do returning alone from the bars.

        Also people are glossing over the capability for it to improve sexual drive.

        The “my wife read a slightly spicy book today and now she wants to get it on” trope is well known on social media, AI’s ability to just generate whatever you want likely will boost that.

        However, at this time AI is unable to really handle pacing well.

        It’s pretty well known that most attempts with current uncensored LLMs tends to produce saucy encounters are… poorly paced.

        Good spicy novels have a lot of build up and slow pace, which requires remembering facts from many chapters ago.

        Even the top end of massive LLMs lack the memory capacity to last more than a handful of pages before they completely lose the thread.

        But hopefully this gets remedied eventually.
