Hi, my name is Rose will and today I'll be presenting to you a project that I did for my honors to O2 class with Professor Benjamin Bertram. Sex spots, artificial intelligence and male fantasy. A sex spot can be defined, has an artificial entity that is used for sexual acts and purposes to be really considered a sack spot. It should meet three conditions. First, a humanoid form, second, human-like movement or behavior, and third, artificial intelligence. These machines were one, simply pipe dreams presented in science fiction novels and films. They are quickly becoming a reality when we look at the works of science fiction that include sex, robots or similar creations, it becomes abundantly clear that male fantasy plays a large role in designing and controlling sack spots. These works of fiction inevitably influence nonfiction works and the reality in which we live. Sex bots are no longer just dreams of science fiction writers, but a part of our world. But what does this mean? Unfortunately, the answer is that the production of sex spots in both fiction and non-fiction give us a glimpse into a bleak future where human women are mistreated by men due to the ability for sex bots to reinforce controlling, and massage agonistic male fantasies. And eight AD Ovid wrote what would become known as his magnum opus, metamorphosis. In this, we are told the myth of PID Malian. For those who do not know, the myth goes like this. Pig Malian, a sculptor, has a distaste for human women. They don't satisfy his needs and they're not really what He desires. So pit Molly and decides to create an ivory statue of a beautiful woman. And she is everything but he had hoped for and a lover. This story shows that the idea of a man projecting human emotions and intentions onto an object and falling in love with his own creation is nothing new. It dates back to ancient times. While PID Malian might've gone his happy ending, the myth paints an ominous picture of what the impact of male fantasy can be. Had. Malia believes his artwork is more beautiful than anything nature could create. He had a fantasy, and through his own handiwork, he was able to fulfill this fantasy when human woman couldn't. In a sense, this math predicted what the creation of sex spots would look like in the future and what the results of their creation could be. About ten years ago, the pipe dream present in science fiction novels and movies regarding sacked thoughts became a reality. In 2010 True companions. Roxy robot was presented to the public with the assertion that it was the world's first sex robot, which gained a great deal of public attention. Something special about Roxy was the fact that she could be completely customizable depending on the user's desires. Her personality could even be swapped in case the user wanted a new experience with their artificial lover rock Roxy was simply a rough draft of what was to come. Today, there are many variations of sex dolls and bots on the market that cater to male fantasy. Allison P. Davis and an article for New York Mad Magazine states, the gulf between what we imagine and what's possible make sex robots the perfect vehicle for pondering our sexual and Technological Future, which is inevitably proving to be true. Another product deemed real dolls were created by the company a best creations. These textiles are similar to Roxy in the sense that they can be customized to look however the consumer wants her to look, except clearly they look much more human than rock seated. In fact, from a distance, you may even realize, you might not even realize their dolls, but abyss creations wanted to take it one step further. The company has stood out in recent years due to their plan decree and artificially intelligent sex spot that was much, much more advanced than Roxy. The company has now successfully completed this task. These new and improved sex spots allow the user to customize their sex by using an app, real doll. With the app, users can choose a personality and boys wear their sex spot that will be present in the sex spot itself. After creating their dream girl, they user can order a robotic head complete with full range of anatomical movement and attach it to a real doll body. These sex spots allow a mail to fully customize their companion, effectively allowing them to create their perfect woman. There is something extremely unsettling about the ability for those who seek Zach spots to fully customize the appearance and personality of the bought they purchase. Rather than actively finding a woman who somewhat meets their criteria. Males with enough money could fulfill their fantasy by buying their own dream woman. If customizable sex bots become popular enough, it is not outlandish to say that organic women will most likely receive cruel treatment for men do to male fantasy and the powerful drive and sexual, sexual desire. Human woman could be tossed aside and treated unjustly due to the ability for men to purchase a woman that looks exactly how they want it to look and acts exactly how they want it to act. The dangers of creating sect spots can be seen. And many works of science fiction, a great example of this can be seen and the influential work, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick, published in 1968 in the dystopian world of the novel, Android's called Nexus. Sixes are enslaved on Mars, completing duties for humans living on the planet. Some of these models are basic pleasure models with the sole purpose of having sexual relations with humans. These androids are almost completely unrecognizable, has non-human, and have full ethical agency, meaning they seem to have personalities, desires, and motivation, something that typical sex bomb, sex bots aren't expected to have. And one unsettling passage. Two of the main characters that guard and rush discuss the desirability of the Androids. The reason why this is so concerning as because the Androids air discussing have seemingly human emotions. The only thing separating them from human women is their presumed lack of empathy and they're artificial body. If this type of behavior, killing an Android after sleeping with them is accepted, it's likely that treating real women with respect is not a common occurrence in this dystopian world. Harmful male fantasies, such as the one present in this novel are coming to life. And along with it comes the idea that it's okay for men to treat women however they want. A more recent example is the novel, The Heart Goes loss by Margaret Atwood, published in 2015. This novice world. There's a product called, called possible a box, which are essentially the same thing as real dolls, but with even more customization options, special orders are completed which could make any male fantasy become a reality. For example, if there is someone that a man desires but cannot have, a sex spot, replica of the person can be created in. This can even include celebrities. One dialogue between characters in this novel highlights issues revolving around male fantasy. The possible bots are so realistic, the user has to remind themselves of the sex spot is not a real person at what's novel also addresses the power dynamics between men and women. Ad who runs the positron consilience. Cooperation is obsessed with the main character, Charmaine, to the point where he demands at a possible about Replica of her is created. When the possible about malfunctions. Ed states that he wants the real thing and makes extremely controlling advances towards a real Charmaine ADD is a male and a position of power who believes he has control over a woman. Which is something that is present in many science fiction novels where sex bots are involved. Unfortunately, due to the controlling and massage agonistic views at some males Hold, it is easy to imagine a future in which sex bots reinforce those views and encourage men to believe they're in control, whether the woman is real or not. Ex machine. Ah, sorry. X mock enough, directed by Alex Carlin and Garland and released in 2015, addresses many hot-button topics when it comes to gender, Artificial Intelligence and the relationship between dominant men and the women they control. In this film, a programmer, Caleb, is invited to stay at his boss Nathan's secluded home. After winning an office contest, it is revealed to Caleb that Nathan has created a humanoid robot, Eva. And Caleb's task is to is to determine if EVA is conscious and capable of humanlike thought by having daily private sessions with her. Caleb become sexually attracted to EVA due to her female form and beauty, and the two of them devise a plan to help EVA escape. In a turn of events, Nathan's true intentions are revealed. She was spying on EVA on Caleb's private sessions the whole time. And Eva showed shrew and talent intelligence by using her sexual appeal to manipulate Caleb and helping her escape. In the film's climax, IF a kills Nathan, disguises herself, has human, locks Caleb inside a room and escapes. In this science fiction film, EVA is only able to escape due to the fact that she appears to be a beautiful woman. The movie is made from the perspective of a male gaze. In the end, EVA was able to get what she wanted, but only by using her sex appeal. What does this say about human Women and Human men and the world we live in today. It supports the male fantasy that women are valuable only if they are beautiful. And that in order for women to get ahead in the world, they must have some sort of sex appeal to help them get their Caleb and x McKenna was fully manipulated by Eva. He wanted to be her hero by helping her escape and possibly fulfill his desire of having A's EVA be his romantic and sexual partner. Caleb did not realize the EVA was much more than that. It is important to realize that FEM bots insect spots in film or portray to me conventional beauty standards. If they were lacking and good looks, their purpose in the film would be obsolete. They would no longer fulfill the fantasies of men in the film and the male viewers, John, Diana, Her, and Neil Mc Arthur is robots. Acs provides a number of essays that present multiple moral issues caused by the further creation of sex spots. A prominent issue is that of consent. The essay the symbolic consequences argument in the sex robot debate by John Danner. Here, the moral implications of having sex with a robot that cannot reject you is explored a characteristic of sex spots that is likely very appealing to men who wished to fulfill their fantasy is, is that sex spots cannot reject a man. According to data here, the designer's goal when making sex robots is to mimic the interactions that someone may have with a sex worker. This viewpoint makes a lot of sense when we look at the way sex bots have been presented in works of fiction previously mentioned. By mimicking client sex worker reaction interactions. Sex robots represent the normalization and approval of male power over women without any concern for the ones or needs of the woman. By doing this, sex robots can encourage their users to adopt negative attitudes towards women, reinforcing a male dominated culture where women are subordinated and oppressed. Data here states the disvalue that attaches to sex. Robots that are taken to represent women or children are passive, ever consenting sexual play. Things must be understood in terms of the disvalue that attack attaches to the view that women or children actually are passive, ever consenting play things. All of the points that data hair makes in this essay have direct implications for the world we live in today. When the me too movement took storm in 2017, after actress Ashley Judd accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, it became clear that men in positions of power will often control and abused women in order to fulfill their desires. Men taking their fantasies and trying to fulfill them while it's harming the women around them is completely real. Even though we don't have advanced sex bots yet, at least not as advanced as the ones portrayed and works of science fiction, novels and films. It is unnerving to think about how the relationship between women and men can change. Advanced sex spots do become a reality time and time again. We have seen sacks spots portrayed in a way that has negative implications and film and fiction, novels. And there is a reason for this because it represents the very real truths about how male fantasy affects women. Although the future is never crystal-clear, we are moving towards a reality that includes women being further mistreated by men due to the ability we're artificially intelligent sex spots to reinforce controlling and misogynistic male fantasies. Thank you.
