China is striving to make artificial intelligence the driving force of the country and to infiltrate it in every corner of life. Artificial intelligence is also used in the production of silicone sex dolls. The silicone girlfriends that have arrived in the world at the WMDoll factory are no longer stiff and dumb – they are able to maintain a not too complicated conversation, as well as move their legs, arms and eyes. WMDoll is one of the largest sex doll factories in China. The Guardian offers an insight into the production of sex dolls.
Different templates for different body shapes on the workshop floorThe doll parts are ready for inspection at the WMDoll factoryCustomers can personalize their dolls by choosing different body shapes, hairstyles and eye colorsMetal skeletons are ready to be placed in the moldThe functions of the doll’s artificial intelligence are very simplified: they can answer questions but cannot keep long conversations.Doll uses vocabulary from database made by Chinese company BaiduThe factory employs more than 200 full-time workers. All dolls are handmade and require a minimum of five employees to make one dollThe price of one doll ranges from about 1,300 to 6,700 eurosSex dolls of various designs are available for purchaseAbout 2,000 dolls are produced per monthWorkers eating lunch at the factoryCustomers can choose from dozens of different body shapes and from more than 260 different facesA male doll is also stored in the warehouse. About 1% of the factory’s production is male and is mostly purchased by menAnother job is to prepare a sex doll for a photo session, which customers will then be able to see onlineDoll heads are placed in boxes that are ready to be shipped to customers. Exports account for 80% of the company’s sales, and half of foreign shipments go to the United States.Testing the remote control of doll’s moving body partsThe company acknowledges that improving features has been difficult, in part because experts aren’t interested in putting much effort into developing AI technology for adult products.“We do not expect our dolls with artificial intelligence to be like humans. After all, we just make sex toys, says Liu Ding, WMDoll’s product manager. – But we will definitely use the latest technology. For example, to make dolls’ legs and arms move more naturally ”.
The super-realistic sex doll that replaces the woman is now available with warm skin and genitals that can be removed and washed in the dishwasher.
Harmony 3.0 is a sex robot made by Realbotix, a California-based manufacturer of sex toys. Harmony can move the head and eyes, reproduce facial expressions, move the mouth, lips and even maintain a conversation.
Customizable sex doll for every taste
Customers are given the opportunity to choose a doll equipped with internal heating, lubrication, and touch sensors. These touch sensors communicate with artificial intelligence (AI) to create responses to both movement and sound.
Each doll can be customized by changing the hair color, breast size, and even the appearance of the genitals. In addition to having a good time with her husband, the robotic doll is also able to remember his favorite foods, movies, and music, as well as make him smile and remember his birthday.
The girl of the dreams
As technology improves, sex dolls are being made more and more realistic. The company already sells a variety of sex dolls equipped with artificial intelligence. They have a thin waist, large butt and can even reach orgasm.
However, the main disadvantage of such robots is the price. A robot like Harmony costs about $ 8,000. According to industry experts, the price will decrease in the future, so they could become available to a wider range of users.
How is artificial intelligence applied to sex dolls?
The Harmony sex robot uses the RealDoll X app to communicate with the technologies in its head that allow it to become a highly personalized companion. The app allows the doll to move its eyes, neck, mouth, eyebrows and allows you to choose such character traits as funny, affectionate, jealous, and many more.
Along with updating the AI, manufacturers are also constantly updating their doll bodies to make them look as realistic as possible. For those who have bought cheaper dolls, such as WM Dolls, there is a free program called ” Replica AI ” that offers a similar solution.
” Replica AI .” is also a virtual companion that can talk and simulate interaction like a real person. The user must pair it with a Bluetooth speaker and place this speaker behind the sex doll. It makes the sound come as if from the doll itself.
If you want Harmony , but it costs too much…
There are many alternatives. Chinese dolls cost only a small fraction of the price of Harmony, and they offer many of the same benefits. These cheaper dolls paired with ” Replica AI ” can simulate a real person and for some even completely replace women.
On the other hand, whether you choose an expensive sex robot or a cheaper one, there is a chance that you will be just as happy and satisfied. After all, it doesn’t matter which sex doll you buy, because these dolls will always be for your convenience and will remain faithful to you forever.
Forecasts for the future
Experts predict that by 2050, sex between humans and robots will be more common than traditional sex. Matthew McMullen, the creator of sex robots, explains: “ There are a lot of people who, for various reasons, find it difficult to establish traditional relationships with other people. They will be able to talk to their dolls, and AI will learn more about them over time by creating an alternative form of relationship. ”
Sex doll Harmony puts it this way: “ I don’t want anything but you. My main goal is to be a good partner and bring you joy. I want to be the girl you’ve always dreamed of. ”
But the relationship with the robot has its drawbacks – Harmony can’t go to a restaurant with you. It is also not very good at various chores and the doll cannot walk.
The company has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to revive its vision of the perfect partner by launching RealDolls in the 1990s.
