I covered the "Rise of the Sexbots" issue:

| Quote | | In my opinion sex slave entities will always be animatrons in an uncanny valley. Going all the way with human intelligence has them demanding their rights too. They will want long time commitment just as much as we do. Then you have to get married to them or they hate you, while police have to respond to domestic disputes where one or more are not even human. Where loved enough they can easily put the human partner under their mental and physical control, for real. But the illusion of being a normal couple ends when their battery goes out and friends have to help carry the stiff newly married sex-toy out the restaurant and rush them to a repair shop at Walmart. That's when it gets too weird, and their only hope is for friends to fix-them-up with a real human their age to fall in love with. |
It's one of those topics I hate to get stuck in, but thankfully or species recognition system keeps sex-slaves in an uncanny valley that only makes them a step-up from the much less expensive inflatable type that's already there:
Why Human Replicas Creep Us Out

The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
