A popular, sexy AI agent is set to get a robotic body that becomes a “productive partner” for lonely men in the real world.
The AI creation, called ElizaOS, is designed as a young woman with long black hair, dark-rimmed glasses, pouty lips, and large breasts, which will be reshaped into a five-foot, 10-inch human.
The AI-powered Eliza Wakes Up robot, created by Eliza Labs, will feature an animated silicone face capable of mirroring human emotions and expressions.
The company claims that the Eliza can also cut a cigar and pour a drink, and will come with specially designed clothes and optional accessories.
While Eliza Labs says the robot wasn’t designed for sex, the company is developing an artificial vagina for an AI version.
According to the creators, Eliza Wakes Up is in “advanced stages of development,” and is now available for pre-order with a starting price of $420,000.
“This will be the most advanced humanoid robot ever seen outside the laboratory,” said Matthew Graham, a consultant to the company.
“We are rapidly approaching a robotics revolution, and Eliza Wakes Up stands at the forefront of this transformation.”
The AI creation, called ElizaOS, is designed as a young woman with long black hair, dark-rimmed glasses, pouty lips, and large breasts, which will be reshaped into a five-foot, 10-inch human.
“ElizaOS powers the most advanced, human-like AI agents currently available on the market,” said Xu, founder of Eliza Labs.
“We are excited to see Eliza Wakes Up bring Eliza into the physical world, creating a truly immersive experience that bridges the gap between digital intelligence and human connection.”
Shaw remained anonymous with his company, along with others on his team.
The robot can run eight miles, faster than the nine to ten minutes it takes a human to complete the same distance.
Eliza adapts to the user’s needs, handling tasks such as managing timelines, interacting on social media, automating searches, processing documents, and executing blockchain transactions.
The company said that the hardware and software are configured with protections, making it difficult to use the robot for unintended purposes, such as using it for sexual activities.
Shaw announced last week that he was researching a device that would allow people to have sex with an AI agent, and offered a $1,000 grant to make it happen.
AI agents are more advanced than chatbots, as they have the ability to make decisions and perform tasks themselves.
The Eliza Wakes Up robot, created by Eliza Labs, will feature an animated silicone face capable of mirroring human emotions and expressions.
A Las Vegas developer, known as Bry.ai, took up the challenge and presented his device, called Orifice. Decryption Reports.
In the early stages, the device features sensors that can measure the speed of thrusts and record how deep the robotic vagina is penetrated. It is unclear whether the device will be added to Android in the future.
Graham explained that the focus of the project is not simply sexual in nature.
“It’s not that there’s anything necessarily wrong with this, or any kind of sex. It’s not that that’s what this project is really focused on,” he told Decrypto.
“It’s about filling a very real need for companionship that, in our opinion, is actually one of the most untapped psychological needs in the world today.”
Robots that look, talk and act like humans have only been seen in movies, but such innovations are hitting the market in droves.
A 2016 study also predicted that women will have more sex with robots than men in 2025.
This new year marks the date on which futurist Dr. Ian Pearson predicted that humanity “will begin to see some form of robotic sex emerging in high-income, very wealthy families.”
“Vibrators have been around for more than a century, but the vibrant sex toy industry is now making not only standalone devices, but mobile devices that bring all the fun and functionality of computing and networking to sex as well,” Dr. Pearson noted.
First coined in 1975, “teledildonics” has become the technical term for remotely operated mechanical sex toys, both online and otherwise.
According to some surveys, as many as 63% of women admit that they either already use a sex toy or would like to use one, with 40% admitting that virtual reality will make sex more fun and enjoyable.
Although the market for humanoid sex robots is often perceived as male-dominated, other analysts have also indicated that this gender balance is set to flip.
“I think it’s the men who should be worried,” said Dr. Cathy O’Neill, a Harvard-trained mathematician and data scientist. “It’s entirely possible that robots will outperform them.”
