Guess what? By the year 2050 you'll drive to work in a hover car
every day, eat meals in pill form and have left your wife for a sexy
robot mistress. Apparently, we are just about ready to have lots of
hot, steamy, meaningful sex with robots. According to this article on
impending robot-human love connections:
Psychologists
have
identified roughly a dozen basic reasons why people fall in love, and
[according to artificial intelligence researcher David Levy]
"almost all of them could apply to human-robot relationships. For
instance, one thing that prompts people to fall in love are
similarities in personality and knowledge, and all of this is
programmable. Another reason people are more likely to fall in love is
if they know the other person likes them, and that's programmable too."
So soon we'll have robots to cuddle with who we can program to
wash their balls and brush their teeth. Goodbye dude you settled for
because all your friends are married with kids, hello love robot.
