    “No, no… see… it’s not a ‘sexbot’, it does the cleaning too!”

    “This is not the argument you think it is…”

    Do I have trust issues when I have to ask where the AI is gonna store our conversations, dick measurements, fetishes, turn-ons, times I start crying during copulation, times I stop crying during copulation, desires in life, and preferred types of lingerie; or are there legitimate infosec considerations?

    Do those sex dolls have replacement genitals or do people just pay thousands of bucks for what’s essentially a throwaway item?
