While there are fears robots may rise up to take over the world if artificial intelligence progresses too quickly, some of us may find ourselves simply marrying machines in the future. A leading computer scientist has predicted that as robots become more human-like, people may start turning to them for companionship. His predictions mirror the plot of the hit TV series Humans, where people formed emotional attachments to robots brought in to help out around the home.

It’s been tried but it wasn’t long lasting.

I like my vacuum cleaner ($$$) but I wouldn't marry it, nor my Winchester 30-30.

Yeah, well, look out when they discover their feelings for each other...

Marriage is for humans. What they mean is would you have the robot masturbate you exclusively in place of a human and then delude yourself into thinking it’s a normal relationship.

Robots don’t love. Love is a human thing. They can simulate feelings, and for some people that will be good enough.

Unfortunately, it will happen.

Mostly they are made from high-quality plastics and the faces are very realistic on some manufactures ‘products.’ They claim they are extremely hit able.

See: https://www.realdoll.com/

They have boy versions for those so inclined ...

Not sure if this would be offensive so just the link not the image - ‘she’ has all her cloths on.

You should see Ex Machina. I think it is more realistic. Robots don’t have souls.

I don't know anyone who is so perverse they wouldn't marry a Winchester 30-30.

I'm sure she's of sufficient "caliber" for you, Laz.

Yes, seen that too.

Of course, none of it holds a candle to Blade Runner.

I’m also remembering an old Playboy Annie Fanny cartoon from forty five years ago in which she falls madly in love with a robot.

This is such a hoot! How do the homosexuals feel about their issue being stolen from them by a robot? Too funny!

If you're rich, it doesn't matter how ugly you are.
