Sex with Robots is Inevitable

Or, at least that’s what this guy says: “My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots,” artificial intelligence researcher David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands told LiveScience.

I found this article on MSNBC.com and I’m just overwhelmed by it. Robots, really?

I suppose the robot wouldn’t be like the robot of yore.

Maybe the robots would be so lifelike you couldn’t tell the difference.

But does that make it ok? According to this Levy guy it absolutely is, and maybe to all the male-haters or female-haters out there, it’d be a good thing. I mean, we’ve all looked for the off switch on our partner from time to time, so I see the benefit.

However, there is something to be said for the human connection and genuine experiences. I feel the same way about frozen dinners. Why eat the pre-packaged, perservative-filled chicken filet when you can make a yummier, healthier version on your own?

The same goes for love. Make it real or count me out.
