The English teeth are a nice touch.

If I can block out the appearance of a nuts and bolts Train Wreck from nose to chin, the robot’s gaze is impressive. For most people, if something can follow you with it’s eyes like that, one assumes it is a sentient being, aware of you and of itself.
Yes, that is an illusion, but many aspects of perception are also illusions.

Disney imagineers... could help develop animatronics that are indistinguishable from humans"Can I have sex with it?"
OK, laugh if you want but you know it's the first question everyone thinks of.

Cool, so now we don’t have to strangle the old wives for their eyes in Stepford, Connecticut.

The Walt Disney Co. owns ABC News. I think they found their next host for a town hall.

"Can I have sex with it?” Designers did program it to pursue sex with children, so as to make it as life-like and indistinguishable as possible from a real Disney executive.

DNC is hoping for the fully-fleshed version for the 2024 primaries.
They would also like variable skin color, hair type and language/accent, to accommodate varied audiences.

In a popular movie, a teen has sex with a warm pie.
People conceivably could have sex with a manhole cover, though without conceiving, of course.
Under a Harris/Biden administration, perhaps CJ Roberts could allow the laws to be amended to make marriage legal with objects that were once—in racist fashion, of course—thought to be inanimate. Little did we know they were merely yet-unloved.

It avoids the uncanny valley by looking a bit like someone in a Hallowe’en mask...

I wouldn’t doubt for a hot second that the Democrat/Left/Communist Party is taking a serious look at this thing as a possible candidate for 2024.
