Like, sex slaves are literally cheaper

That's going too far

People aren't going to become better and shape up if we go down that path

People will look for a cheaper alternative if objects are all that men focus on

Single men are wealthier than married men

Neither will better themselves and the people selling these toys will wring their hands as the incel shekels pour in.

We may even see a resurgence in human trafficking because of this.

Nothing can replace a real woman.

The opposite will happen if hyperrealistic sex robots become a thing

Less human trafficking because the demand goes down

Do you trust an Alexa in your home?

What?

A voice-activated assistant that by design listens to everything you say and can be modified for surveillance?

A interactive robot that doesn't have feelings or loyalty would be in and of itself a privacy violation.

Why should it have to stay connected to the internet?

Because the manufacturer will make it mandatory.

No

The demand for that will be extremely low

Like they do for video game consoles today.

Sex robots will be too invasive if they are online

People won't buy that

If they're just black market it won't be worth the trouble and won't become widespread as you claim.

The mainstream robots will not be online

People accept consoles being online because they don't film their dicks and their buttholes

They don't record their moans

The weird side of private life

Except... people do that.

Some do

Sex robots that do this will not be in high demand

The main market will be for offline robots

How will it know anything or answer your questions?

For simplicity's sake it will be connected to the internet just like an Alexa.

You can update it from time to time, it doesn't require to be online for that

It's like voting, people are still not very welcoming of online voting, most of it happens in real life offline

Even though we've had the technology for many years

The machine-learning stuff that AI is powered by is hosted on giant servers who-knows-where and wouldn't be unique to your bot.

Computers aren't unique

A lot of people work on their laptops while being offline, the demand for a consistent internet connection is not as high as you seem to think, even though it would make a lot of things more convenient

They would have to be extremely expensive to be offline-capable, and the more competitively-priced ones would just run off a proprietary chatbot that runs on another server and cut CPU costs for individual units.

It also is basic practice for troubleshooting as well. You won't need to diagnose every single sex bot if it gives you the wrong answers.

Alright, since we're not making progress, why is this point so important?
