Sex Doll Genie
Real people aren't for everyone. Or, if you live in the middle of a global pandemic, sex with another human being can be a challenge. Sex dolls with brains are an option these days and the coronavirus pandemic has fueled their demand. These AI sex robots from Sex Doll Genie are completely customizable from hair color to toe nail color and everything in between. And they come equipped with "brains," the company brags. Brains in this case means the ability to engage in short conversations, respond like a real person, and even sing on demand. Sex and love in the time of a pandemic sure is interesting.
What could happen if something goes wrong?
When a company claims your sex doll comes "armed" with artificial intelligence, maybe stop and ask yourself if you really need an AI sex robot? Especially when the company also brags that their AI sex dolls are "reluctant to say ‘No’" to any of your requests and that’s what makes them such delightful companions." Sex Doll Genie's sexbot come with an attachable head with what the company calls a "heck of a smart Artificially Intelligent" brain. The weird thing is, when we reached out to the company to ask about how they handle the privacy and security of their internet connected sexbots learning how to have conversations with you, they said their bots didn't have apps that controlled them, you just flipped a switch on their head and that's it. We could find no privacy policy explaining what data your sexbot collects, how they use this data to learn about you, or what data is shared and with whom. That's all very creepy for a sex doll who is reluctant to say no, don't you think?

Sex Doll Genie is developing built-in cameras and facial recognition to be part of the doll's eyes. So this is a space to watch for further developments.
