End of online XXX PORN - Why these sex robots could make WestWorld a reality
GETTY • PICTURES POSED BY MODELS Could the launch of these eerily realistic sex robots spell the end of online porn?
Eerily realistic sex robots – like those depicted in the blockbuster HBO series WestWorld – are almost here. Abyss Creations has unveiled a new smartphone app, called Harmony AI, that brings artificial intelligence to its lifelike RealDoll sex robots. RealDoll owners can use the app to talk to their life-size silicone companions. Machine learning allows the realistic sex robot to remember previous conversations and respond in the most human manner possible. This allows users to create "a strong simulation for a relationship or friendship", according to Abyss Creations subsidiary Realbotix.

There are a total of 18 personality traits to choose from, allowing RealDoll owners granular control over just how happy, shy, funny, jealous, mardy, sensual, or talkative the 'bot is at any given time. According to the company, the more time spent talking to the silicone sexbot, the more attached and connected to the user the android will feel. Eventually, a complete "full simulation of being in love" can be attained using the Harmony AI smartphone app, Realbotix has claimed.

Chief Executive Matt McMullen told Digital Trends: "Many of our clients rely on their imaginations to a great degree to impose imagined personalities on their dolls. "With the Harmony AI, they will be able to actually create these personalities instead of having to imagine them. "They will be able to talk to their dolls, and the AI will learn about them over time through these interactions, thus creating an alternative form of relationship. "The scope of conversations possible with the AI is quite diverse, and not limited to sexual subject matter."

RealDoll owners who want to get closer to their 'bots will be required to pay an annual $20 subscription, roughly £16, for the Harmony AI app. The software is currently only available for Android smartphones, and can be downloaded directly from the Realbotix website. Realbotix believes the artificial intelligence that powers the Harmony AI app will eventually be baked into the robotic heads that ship with the RealDolls. That's not a cheap upgrade, with the AI robot heads expected to cost more than $10,000, some £8,000 converted.
