The Un-Ethics of AI Sex Robots, Childbots & the Future of Sex Eurydice Eve

October 21, 2022

Eurydice Eve speaks with Alexis Masciarella about the ethics of robots, the future of love, and the dangers of legal adoption. We discuss the Ethics of Sex with Machines and Escapism from Reality. With Europe's first sex robot brothel open in Barcelona and the first talking sex robot, "Harmony", available, we discuss the Pornification and Dehumanization of Sexuality, and the implications of Human Connection to Robots when Robots are introduced as substitutes for humans. We humans connect with inanimate objects by imagining them animate. “The caregiver effect”: when we nurture a machine that presents itself as a dependent, we get emotionally attached to it. Human Sclerosis is an emotional hardening toward actual people. We may become more callous towards human suffering by ‘practising’ on mock humans. We may strengthen our darker desires by indulging them in virtual settings. Sex Robots desensitize people.
