It is interesting, though. If the technology continues, there may be replicants in our lifetimes. That is a bit scary.

They'll be for the weak and unadventurous. If you could design the perfect woman, by being designed rather than born she'd lack the one thing that makes life interesting: unpredictability. It's also the one thing that makes life special. You can't programme, say, her dragging you outside to dance in the rain without it being less than special for not being spontaneous.

No, even if they do create replicants, make mine a real, live girl.

I agree. Besides, I can only imagine what the tech support calls would be like.

Oh Yeah...

How much and how long is it to ship to the BDR?

And on top of that if they can make them look like swedish triplet chicks I will take 3.lol

I know a real woman has some better qualities. but come on. Can you imagine it? Spank..spank.."You are hurting me," says the robot. "I know." you reply.

That only works on a few chicks out of ten in real life and it would work 100% of the time now.

I wnat to know more. I just read about a Japanese guy that opened "puppet" brothels. The guys come there and hump life size fake chicks. It was in germans Der Spiegel magazine this week.

But if they cost too much it will be ut of my league.

Well, there is ONE I can think of, (who ironically is more human personality wise than that other one that's posted from Ghost in the Shell) and she isn't even real at all. Nope. Gally here is entirely 'built' from scratch, not a human component at all... But I doubt such a thing is even feasible for at least 6 or more generations. The amount of storage capacity required for a robot to have the same capabilities of an actual living life form (she can actually dream when she shuts down to recharge for instance, think of it like a really powerful screensaver I guess, I don't recall exactly how it works)...Wow I don't even want to imagine the initial cost. And I'm sure they'd be far more delicate. Not because of a lack of sturdy yet light materials, but to prevent one from thinking it can erradicate everyone Terminator style, or building something like that on its own.

They will certainly integrate random number generators into her. "She'll throw shadows at you, but she's always a gyndroid to me." (Apologies to Billy Joel)

Building a random number generator is a lot easier than building an android.
