Just for the record, I'm with Kathleen Richardson on this: I think sex robots are a Bad Idea, and not just from the human perspective: creating a sentient being for no purpose other than to be a sex object -- and no choice in the matter -- seems to me to be clearly wrong; and the same goes for all other attempts to create AIs as slaves. -- Markshale (talk) 09:04, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Markshale: Not sure if you will see your user talk page, but please keep in mind that article talk pages are not for general discussion of the subject, but for discussing article changes only. 331dot (talk) 09:06, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested area of focus

I think this article has good content that centers around the philosophical arguments surrounding it, but it could use some facts about the tangible prototypes being worked on and any precursors to this (like blow up dolls) Here is a popular article I think could be useful www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/13/sex-love-and-robots-the-end-of-intimacy Here is a scholarly article I think could be useful https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Sex_robot&action=edit And finally, I think talking about Sex Robots in popular entertainment can be very insightful such as in Ex Machina, Her, and Westworld. After all, entertainment media is in many ways a reflection of our own views and desires Goldbond Goblin (talk) 01:49, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you are thinking of working on improving the article I believe one major failing is the lede. It neither summarises nor gives a balanced overview of the page. Mramoeba (talk) 20:15, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
