Now a group of professors have slammed the idea of a family-friendly sex robot as “damaging” for kids.
I posted these links over in The Joy of Missing Out thread but they’re relevant here. I’m increasingly glad I don’t have young children when technologists are so feckless about their mental well-being.

Well, I no longer have to decide what to do for dinner as I’ve lost my appetite. I guess I should thank 2018 for helping me watch my weight.

“Children will imitate machines if brought up by them,” Kathleen Richardson… told New Statesmen.
…without any data or evidence at all.
(also, shouldn’t that be New States man?)

“Sex robot damaging to children.”
Lots of different ways to interpret that, I guess.

Hmm. I can think of reasons it could help a marriage. I can think of ways it could greatly harm a marriage. I am not sure though that the robot teaches kids that women are for sex. It seems it might teach them that robots are for sex and women need not engage in that nasty business because a robot is there. This is a really hard dynamic to completely characterize and predict.

Hmm. Designed as a sex toy, but used as enrichment for children. It’s like when dad hires the hot, young nanny, but in reverse.

Alternately “Sex-robot has ‘family mode’ switch so kids CAN’T play with it.”
Seems like a more acceptable way to phrase it.

It has a reverse?
