Sex dolls that talk dirty: The future of artificial intellig
Source: Lindsey Robertson
The prototype that the team is currently working on is named "Harmony."
Sex robots are no longer just a concept to be spoofed in Austin Powers movies.
Matt McMullen, the creator of RealDoll sex toys, is in the process of developing a sex doll that will be capable of blinking, opening its mouth and having a conversation with you.
Because apparently nobody learned ANYTHING from watching Ex Machina.

According to a report from the New York Times, McMullen has teamed up with Hanson Robotics to start work on this artificial intelligence project, which he is dubbed "Realbotix."
According to researchers, the sex doll will ideally be able to dish out some dirty talk and respond to the person it is ... um, interacting with.
“What is she thinking, does she like it?” McMullen tells the Times about the robot's semi-sentience. “If you can create [that reality], or the illusion of that, it is going to be a much more impressive pay-off than ‘Wow, she can gyrate her hips by herself.’”
The initial iteration of Realbotix will consist of artificially intelligent heads which can be strapped on the the already-existing RealDoll bodies. The head alone is set to retail for $10,000 and be available for purchase within the next two years. The full body, however, is expected to sell for $30,000 to $60,000.
