OpenAI Deploys AGI Into Humanoid Robot - Displays STUNNING Abilities
Romance with robot partners:
Sci-fi books, novels, movie and "anime" = cartoon network industry already prophesised pleasure droids.
You could see them in countless Hollywood movies. The idea is they can 3D-print the famous faces of Hollywood celebrities. Then alter / modify / perfect them with ideal features to the very last tiny detail, as per customer request. Meaning customization.
Naturally all pleasure droids are physically indistinguishable from humans on touch, movement, etc...
These avalanche of movies -
Cherry 2000 (1987),
Altered Carbon Season 1 is best (IMO),
Westworld (orig+remake),
Ex Machina (2014) was interesting,
etc.. etc.. - has successfully re-programed the Public Consciousness.
Digital female "robots" in personal digital rooms are already quite advanced and very life-like! Essentially work like Moretz's '3D-printed body in the future' in the TV Show
The Peripheral. Moretz, when logged into her future robot body, drives that body, like a car. When she is logged out, then her body - (linked) in the future - is driven / "parked"
on idle, by AI! So her body is just standing there with basic mannerisms, like an obedient servant and goes and stays, where she is commanded.
Scenes already do exist for simulating just like "meeting a girl in a bar". Except the conversation part is not there yet!. But everything else is!! (Red-Light content)
People on forums are already talking about "their harem"(s): because they are able to download such "robots" or characters and make them do stand around, do "gymnastics" or act out lewd action scenes.
The best robot movies so far had 'Lady in Distress' android girls in them, played by attractive female actors. The irony here is that some of these female actors may be souled and they do provide a souled acting performance, giving their movie
robot characters human emotions and appearance. While an AI synthetic girl could have no soul, in theory.. Except the C's already remarked our computers will become sentient and acquire a soul imprint. So we can expect "android OP girl" robots in the future. Except there is no more time for humanity.. and such scenarios remain theoretical projections.
So far, I think, the best
movies starring android girls in 'Lady in Distress' situations are:
Blade Runner (1982),
Altered Carbon Season 1,
Morgan (2016),
The Machine (2013) has some 'lady in distress scenes'. One of the best is
Archive (2020), where a robotics specialist - after a fatal accident - re-creates his wife with a big surprise at the end.
A.I. Rising (2018) deserves special mention here, as you can see in the below trailer. Because
Jessica Stoyadinovich plays a cute machine-girl, sporting an advanced synthetic body, indistinguishable from human. And she runs on an advanced AI. Learning capable. Of course for security reasons the company owning her, disabled her learning capabilities and she is forced to run on the 'safe basics' only. Her spaceship travel partner is a professional astronaut:
The male protagonist feels alone, but he is undecided. He hates AIs that are driven strictly on machine-like, boring company protocols. So he talks to the girl and asks her hard questions and concludes this. Then to make his robot lady partner more like a real, original, freely thinking AI machine-girl (with a perfectly humanlike, attractive body..) he disables the security / safety protocols in Nimani, the AI-girls head. As a result the girl starts to think freely and acquires free will. But not before the astronaut forces himself on her. Naturally she seems to remember everything. She begins to struggle with what happened and also becomes undecided, what she wants to do.
The story writers genuinely attempt to discuss in an intelligent manner, what might happen in the near future (theoretical) with the nowadays ever increasing and very pervasive "pleasure droid girl" craze.
Therefore I think, this movie is worth to watch. Its a drama with romantic elements, trying to deal with the question of human <-> machine relationship.
Naturally, there are a myriad android, robot, machine movies. But the above ones stand out as dealing with the question of possibility if romance between a human and a robot (girl).
