Researchers predict robots to become lovers

In other news, researchers don't get laid. EVAR.

Original article (dsc.discovery.com)

The bulk of the article is about how
"The field of human-computer conversation is crucial to building robots with whom humans could fall in love, but is lagging behind other areas of development..."
Apparently, researchers would rather talk to a robot than you. And that's only the beginning!

TEH FUTURE OF LOVE AND SEXY-TIME
(according to some retard researcher)
In the future, people will:
  • become so dull and uninteresting that we'll talk to robots!
  • become so fickle and materialistic that we'll fall in love with our robots (and toss them in the dumpster when we break up)
  • become so hideous and malformed from smoking/alcoholism/genetics that we'll fuck the robots!
Whoa, wait. What? Seriously? That's just... no. No way. This is where I draw the line-- I'm calling bullshit. Unless that means I can design my own robo-hottie who'll shut her mouth and do housework naked*...

Maybe this isn't such a bad idea after all.

* - Seriously, I'm not that bigoted. Stow the hate mail.
