What are your honest thoughts on Sexbots?

Eh, wouldn't use one myself but it's basically just a more complex sex toy. Nothing inherently weird about it. Like some people think fleshlights are weird. Who am I to judge?
As others have said, I don't really see the moral issue so long as you don't give them sentience. Like, there's no reason a Sexbot needs to have intelligence beyond what a high end Skyrim NPC has. Really, there's no reason any robot needs it. That's how you get robot-murdered.
There will be issues if it becomes prevalent with Sexbots that look like celebrities/real people who did not authorize it, but that's an issue separate from the Sexbots themselves (and I imagine you can already make look alikes with what's available today, and there hasn't been that much controversy over them yet, even if it's gross).
Why are the far less realistic ones less creepy? I mean, I know the answer is Uncanny Valley, but still.

Hard to say. But it's concerning that in the future some young people's first experience could be with a sexbot, and they may then decide to not pursue real romance. One thing these sexbots will not be able to do (at least in our lifetimes) is recreate the feeling of being in love. I've been fortunate enough to experience this many times in the past and it makes me sad that some people will go their whole lives without trying or giving up after a few rejections.
I feel like unless you are personally into it anything related to sex that what someone else does is almost always going to seem weird.
As long as no one is getting hurt its generally best not to look into someone else's bedroom.
I need there to be a nice big asterisk on that "Let people fuck whatever they want" option before I can click it in good conscience...
I'd consider trying them, but they'd need to be significantly more lifelike than sex dolls for me to find them arousing.
Well, not necessarily lifelike aesthetically... anime aesthetics could work too. But they'd need to exhibit a high degree of quality in that case too.

Uncummy Valley, more like.
At some point, the tech will be good enough that this becomes a reality in some fashion, and why not? If it helps people who are either too socially awkward to engage with real people, or physically offputting, have spouses who aren't sexually active, or whatever, I can't see how it's a bad thing. There are quite a few of the doll fetishists who engage with them because of said reasons, and if they get some measure of joy out of it, then what's the harm? I find the sexual dynamics of these invented relationships a bit disturbing, but again, no one is being hurt by it.
At first blush I'd say I'd go for it but then all the practical questions arise like how much those things would cost, how much maintenance they need (those "realistic" sex dolls are incredibly fragile) and most importantly how much of my small apartment I'd have to waste on it, especially if it had no function outside of sex. If the bot could do cooking, cleaning, etc, i.e. be actually useful the rest of the day then that'd be a muuuuuch more enticing proposition. Having that bot just sit around doing nothing all day would get in the way.
Though let's be real here, any sort of advanced consumer robot is gonna be made by one of those data kraken companies and will send everything it sees to the company servers for "targeted advertising".

I'm pretty sure it's possible for people to fall in love with robots or TV characters or whatnot, triggering all the usual love feelings except obviously unreciprocated.
You get home from a long day at work, you come in through the front door and see that your life-like domestic companion bot has cleaned the house from top to bottom and has prepared you one of your favorite meals. Life is good.
At dinner you make advances towards your domestic companion bot and it reciprocates, afterall, how could it not. The advanced AI Programming has learned exactly what you like in bed.
It says it wants to roleplay; you're surprised, but ultimately go along with it.
Your domestic companion bot quickly ties you up and mounts you.
"Hey, you're finally awake....You were trying to cross the border? Walked right into that imperial ambush, like us and that thief over there."
You struggle against the ropes but it's no use.

Nah. Little bit of soap, hot water and JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR and you're ready to go.
Give it 20 years. It will be normalized.
Before the internet, everyone laughed at people who bought VHS porn tapes like this.

Will an AI hologram near the level of Joi from BR2049 ever be possible? That's way more interesting than some robot fuck doll.
The bot that the OP is describing is very advanced. So self cleaning is probably a feature.
I can actually see pets being replaced by bots. You won't have to worry about health bills, or their death anymore. they will be able to mimic dog behavior very accurately by an AI. I could see this in 20 years.
What eeewwww no no nooo I hope something like that never happens and then what happens when they get bored of these sexrobots they will naturally be more animalistic for the real thing that's a dark path to take I don't even wanna imagine a future with that
You'd be better off buying a mannequin on eBay and sticking a flashlight thing where the real thing usually is lol we are in for some freaky shit in a couple years lol
Everything is a pathway and you never know how shit will evolve. I dunno about it, it makes me feel uneasy.
Nah, I'm good. Treating machines as substitutes for people is just weird to me. I don't even like or use smart assistants like Alexa. I'm not interested in ordering anyone around, even if they're not human.
Hell, I don't think it would even need to be that robotic. I think it would be pretty cool to have a tablet on wheels that displayed some sort of interactive pet or companion on screen at all times.
Like an Aibo, but more digital and easier to maintain.
Please stop with the stupid Thor meme my god, it hasn't been funny in 7 years.
ot: I'd get one.

Seems like sex bots could be great for someone into furry or anime stuff. I'm not gonna worry about the whole "degenerate sex shaming" shit with it, and if they were cheap and easily stored and maintained I could definitely see myself getting one in the right circumstance (like this entire last year lol).
