AI Implementation Drives Surge in Sex Doll Sales, Manufacturers Claim It Enhances Customer Satisfaction
Artificial Intelligence Boosts Sales of Sex Dolls
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) models has revolutionized the adult toy industry, leading to a surge in the sale of sex dolls. WMDolls, one of China’s biggest adult toy makers, has claimed that the adoption of open-source AI models has significantly improved the user experience of its products, resulting in a 30 per cent increase in sales.
Improved User Experience with AI
According to a report in the South China Morning Post, WMDolls founder and chief executive Liu Jiangxia stated, “It makes the dolls more responsive and interactive, which offers users a better experience.” The Zhongshan-based company has integrated tools like ChatGPT with its new anthropomorphic sex toys. The introduction of AI technology has allowed the dolls to exhibit more expressive behaviors and offer different ‘personalities’, enhancing the overall user experience.
The AI-powered sex dolls developed by WMDolls can engage in conversations with users and remember previous interactions, creating a more realistic and immersive experience. Traditional sex dolls, on the other hand, are limited to simple responses and lack the ability to interact with users in a meaningful way.
Addressing Data Privacy Concerns
To address data privacy concerns, Ms. Liu reassured customers that all data collected by the AI tools is stored locally in the country where the dolls are used, and the company does not have access to this data. This approach ensures that users’ privacy is protected while enjoying the enhanced features of the AI-powered sex dolls.
The Rise of Robot Companions
In addition to AI-powered sex dolls, the development of humanoid robots designed to act as companions has also gained traction in the industry. Realbotix recently unveiled a robot named ‘Aria’ at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Aria is capable of delivering nearly human-like expressions and can serve as a romantic partner or companion for users.
Realbotix CEO Andrew Kiguel expressed his company’s vision to create robots that are “indistinguishable from humans”, aiming to address issues of male loneliness and provide companionship. The robot, priced at Rs 1.5 crore ($175,000), has garnered attention for its advanced features and lifelike interactions.
The Future of AI in Adult Toys
As technology continues to advance, the integration of AI in adult toys is expected to further enhance user experiences and blur the boundaries between human and artificial companions. With companies like WMDolls and Realbotix leading the way in AI innovation, the future of the adult toy industry looks promising with increased interactivity and personalization for users.
