The more expensive sex dolls already have some AI features with simple
vocal responses. Obviously the AI chatbots will soon be added to sex
dolls to make them even more realistic.
I have seen them in TV documentary programs. Even without many AI
features the men owners treated them like real people, sitting with
them to watch TV.
The owners seemed to be really happy with their companion to alleviate
their loneliness.
A ChatGPT sex doll will be even better.
