Are they training AI to, for example, run scam call centers and to take over tech companies by only hiring other AIs?

The only thing we’ll have left to do is engage in sex. A pill that brings on the ultimate orgasm where you never stop coming. We’ll all go out like Nelson Rockefeller and women will run the world but who cars?

For added realism will the sexbots talk? Will the sexbot ask me to clean the refrigerator when done for added realism?

Yeah they will talk and for added realism they will accuse you of sexual abuse and have an AI generated video of it.

And then, in a company I worked for for 3 months, the Indians trained the Pakistanis because they were 50% cheaper.
Bustards.
I left. Sleaze from top to bottom.

That’s like in the US when companies brought in migrants and had US workers had to train them to take their jobs.

will the sexbot smoke a cigarette after the act, for additional realism?
To: chickenlips
As long as the sexbot doesn’t fall asleep during the act I’m good.

To all the people that think they have a trade that will insulate them from obsolescence, think again. It is no secret that intense work is going on right now to pair AI and robotics to perform all manner of “trade work”. Cheaper and faster than humans can perform those tasks. Nobody is going to be spared.

That’s right.
An AI robot can fix plumbing at 3am. You can’t. It can turn around and weld at 5am. You can’t.
24-hour uptime is not something a biological human can match

Who will manufacture the robots and repair broken robots? Or will robots manufacture more robots and repair them as well?
