Sex-robot has "family mode" switch so kids can play with it. Ethicist says it is "profoundly damaging" to children

@navarro

the only way around that would be to use voice recognition systems, accelerometers and motion detectors to limit access to the sexual features of the sexbot to individuals who are gentle and respectful to the bot.

i have a feeling that a significant fraction of the potential market for such beings would immediately begin the search for ways to subvert, disable, or bypass such limits (mra-goons and incels, i’m looking at you).

Setting aside the inevitable subversion of access limitations (and I do believe it would be inevitable) Do access limitations really negate the owner/owned dynamic?
