Surrogate slavery is going to be a large business one day.

If you are telling me that one day I'll have a robot that cooks, cleans, is a personal assistant, a therapist. Eventually it'll be a chauffeur, babysitter, and obviously sex slave.

Why wouldn't i pay 50000 for that, besides the obvious "you are a creep" like why do I care when it's coming and market forces are going to make it an indistinguishable substitute human a la Joi from blade runner?

Because your sex slave uses teleoperation assistance when needed to guarantee task completion?

That's gonna be a bonus for some people.

Is "task completion" an euphemism for "happy ending"?

The cylinder must not be harmed.

Someone or thing to help with chores would be great.

But abject exploitation? Sex slave, even? I should hope we can find a little decency within ourselves..

Could it become true ?

Well, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_fetishism we live in the future already

Used to be called "a wife", before emancipation.

Seriously though, the future is made of human beings more and more isolated from each other because technology will give us all that we used to get from other people, with none of the annoyances. Each the king or queen of their solipsistic kingdom.

Separate people are easier to control, collective action is anathema to the ruling class.

I'm not seeing how this is different from a regular remote worker in terms of ethics?

A robot babysitter sounds like a suggestion made by somebody who doesn't have kids.
