“There are situations where a substitute artificial companion like a robotic pet may serve as a better alternative because of insufficient available resources to care for a real pet, allergic responses to pets, or other difficulties. This probably is the logic behind the decision of extending robotic pets to other kind of robotic companions like, say, a robotic sexual partner.”

“Robotic pets are being marketed as social companions and are used in the emerging field of robot-assisted activities, including robot-assisted therapy (RAA). However, the limits to and potential of robotic analogues of living animals as social and therapeutic partners remain unclear. Do children and adults view robotic pets as animal-like, machine-like, or some combination of both? How do social behaviors differ toward a robotic versus a living dog?”

“While it is conceivably complicated to educate humans to consciously control the ways in which they socially interact with robots as opposed to humans, robots could arguably be taught to adhere to human social norms. However, robots may disrupt existing norms as a large group of autonomous agents unleashed into society in a short period of time. If a large group of agents enter into an established society, the lack of trust and prior familiarity results in the undermining of existing norms. This is a basic theme that also holds for extraterrestrial post-contact theories.”

“In this brothel we used sex androids. We noticed that when the addressee of human actions can be reliably identified as a robot, people change their behavior accordingly. For example, they may find sex robots a convenient and even legitimate target for non-normative behavior, and use our sexual robots as an outlet for frustrations and forbidden desires. Some of our robots even exhibit a reluctance to respond to polite behavior, forcing users to be rude. We videotape those interactions in order to learn about human-robot interactions. Yes, it is illegal; but see, the entire idea of a cyberbrothel is illegal, isn't it?”

“These sexual androids are expensive, so they are designed such that mistreating robots may induce robots to also mistreat humans. Know what? Some guys love being mistreated by a robot!

“At first, people may restrict themselves to the mistreatment robots. However, when interactions with robots becomes common and abusive behavior is frequent, such behavior may become sufficiently habitual to affect norms of interpersonal interactions, especially when considering non-planned behavior that is not the result of a deliberative decision-making process. In these circumstances, maintaining a strict divide between behavior towards robots and towards humans may not be feasible.”

“The danger is that if robots are not designed to adhere to human norms, they may not reflect the consequences of misbehavior to their human counterparts, thus potentially desensitizing humans, in a way that could also spill over to human-human interactions. This is in fact a trait we already see happening in long-term abusers of pornography and social media.”
