Concerns?

[Orosius]

Now I have to do myself as Retired Guy Action Figure.

[Bobbyvotes]

Concern is it is the next internet bubble.

“3.... 2....1.... AI-Dolls will become the next ‘not talked about’ fetish, replacing Furries, for some of that ilk.

Why does a "technology editor" doll need a video camera and microphone?

Shouldn't she be supplied with either a word processor or editing bay (depending on what kind of editor she is)?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

My biggest concern is that supposedly grown adults would even do this.

She's real cute-----but should have a hyphenated name.

[sonova]

Yeah. I’d want to have a technology editor using the latest and greatest technology tools.

If we still lived in the 1980’s.

It's interesting that the lettering on that doll box is perfect. So many of the AI tools are absolutely terrible at lettering. They almost seem to substitute hieroglyphs for Latin letters.'

Slightly OT but related -- I found a new AI art generator today called "Shedevrum" from the Russian company "Yandex." It is an app for generating images and videos. It can do magic using the YandexART and YandexGPT neural networks. The examples I saw were incredible.

See what I mean about Out and Proud Doll Fetishes?
In the past, most people who lived this way had enough social prudence to keep their proclivities private.
Now, there are likely online communities who support and praise such lifestyles.
Can you imagine what the traditional members of his Japanese family thinks about this. I’m just guessing they are less than supportive.

I don’t know wh but she reminds me of Lori Vallow Daybell. Though she doesn’t especially look like her.

Guess I’ve been watching to much Law and Crime coverage.

[Liz]

Does kinda look like her.

Anything that keeps the them off the road and out of my way is good.
