“We prefer to market to males; they just seem to have a lot of extra income for these sorts of things. But really you (the sex robot) are good for anyone who has a body.”
We sat down with Jason Scott, an American activist, historian of technology, filmmaker and performer, and part of the Internet Archive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive
During the interview Scott discussed how humans experience satisfaction and desire in different ways and need different stimulation; some can build it within their own mind, others need physical stimulation. He also discussed the concept of sex robots and their humanoid likeliness.
“We are very well programmed to notice when something is wrong. If we look into a face that has bad proportions, we recognise it almost instantly. Now think of doing that for an entire body. If something is too cold to the touch, or has a sense of being sticky, or rough, or metallic. We notice it, and for some people that is a huge turnoff. So, to come up with the materials, the craftsmanship, the work involved to, in some way, feel realistically like a person, it just gets really expensive.”
When asked the question on marketing possibilities of sex robots, Scott mentions the importance of synthetic experience, while also highlighting the curiosity of experimenting from humans and trying new things. Furthermore, he mentions his concern about what they will do with sex robots in their homes; highlighting that if this behaviour bounces back into society it might result in negative consequences for our society.
We thank Jason Scott for sitting down for the interview with us and discussing human satisfaction and stimulations, as well as the question of safety and security in technology. Find out more about Jason Scott here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Scott
