Inspiration for the sex robot sprang from the September 11, 2001 attacks. "I had a friend who passed away in 9/11," Hines said. "I promised myself I would create a program to store his personality, and that became the foundation for Roxxxy True Companion."
That one detail, I did not expect.
- knv 17y agoI am a little perplexed here. His friend died and then as a way to restore his personality he created a female sex robot?!
- splat 17y agoThat's not quite the way I'd want to be remembered, but then, it takes all sorts to make a world.
- jacquesm 17y agoWhat a load of tripe. You can promise yourself anything but this seems to be just a convenient hook to attach a quest for money and an advanced sex toy to. There is nothing respectful about having someone pass away like that and then to use their memory as an excuse for something this tasteless. Assuming that's even true. If I were his friend I'd feel less than honoured. Something along the lines of 'thanks for remembering but leave me out of it please'. Or are 9/11 victims now fair game in marketing nonsense? The AI claim is also complete rubbish. She can't vacuum but "has a full C cup and is ready for action", that's some impressive AI there. Ira Levin is turning in his grave.
- chrischen 17y agoWhat kind of friend was he? And why did he want to restore his guy friend's personality into a sex robot?
- jacquesm 17y agoAnd how did 'he' become a 'she'.
- cabalamat 17y agoMaybe he was a transvestite?
- die_sekte 17y agoBut then he would have made a male sex robot with female clothing. (I think the market for those is pretty small.)

- chrischen 17y agoPerhaps he becAme a she because he later realized the market for female sex dolls is bigger, if you get my drift.
