Matt McMullen is trying to give silicone sex dolls AI brains

The video above from Fusion reminds me so much of the video below from filmmakers Drea Cooper & Zackary Canepari for their series California Is A Place (which sadly hasn't been added to in quite some time). 

The video above shows the future of the sex doll industry specifically from the viewpoint of RealDoll CEO Matt McMullen. His life-life silicone dolls are in testing to be inserted with artificial intelligence to help make these life-like dolls even more so.

These dolls definitely step foot into the uncanny valley with their life-like appearance but dim-witted AI. It's not perfect yet, obviously, but it's not that hard to imagine actual real AI someday being outfitted with Matt's creations here. Will we be able to tell the difference? I still think so. It's all in the emptiness of those eyes.
