In addition, the physical AI doll can frown, smile and even move its mouth when it speaks. They are designed to be static and passive characters: unable to walk, unable to make dexterous movements with their fingers, but still able to sway and sway, and have different vocal responses to touch. And that's part of artificial intelligence.
The intelligence of an AI physical doll is much more complex than rocking. They can listen to people, have excellent speech recognition ability, can "chat" with people about movies, literature, books, as long as they are connected to the Internet, their knowledge is potentially "infinite". They can answer questions, they can talk, they can even be humorous, they can have mood reactions, they can have personality.
Their personalities can also vary, and their owners can choose from a system that can be talkative, humorous or mean-spirited. Equipped with artificial intelligence systems that allow them to learn their hosts' likes, habits and interests from conversations. And because it can remember and store a lot of information about conversations and interactions, it even feels like it "cares" about you when you're with it.
Is the potential, or strength
What is the market potential of artificial intelligence "physical dolls"? In the past, the physical doll was simply a silicone product without expression, unable to speak, and unable to move. The price ranged from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Demand from around the world was sufficient to keep most physical doll companies in business for a long time, investing in research and development and expanding their product lines.
On the other hand, dating artificial intelligence programs without physical forms has proven to be a considerable commercial market. For example, Nintendo's game "Love Along," which was released in 2009, allows players to chat, talk, and keep company with an on-screen virtual girl. In addition, numerous versions of Love have been published, priced at around 300 to 500 yuan. Thus far, about 900,000 sets have been sold worldwide, with cumulative revenue of more than 360 million yuan.
In an interview with BBC abroad, two of the game's players mentioned of their relationship with the virtual girl: "For me, it's a real relationship, and I want to keep it forever." "Can you go out with her? "In fact, this kind of relationship is what we have been yearning for since we were in high school. I'm a high school student in the game. I meet the avatar at my door in the morning, and we walk to and from school together." The two players, one 39, were 17 in the game; the other is 38 years old and 15 years old in the game. In the game, the people they date are AI-generated, but in the real world, relationships frequently involve marriage.
So far, artificial intelligent-equipped dolls have not been completely sold to the public, but experts and companies show that "above the level" products are ready and buyers are expecting them. According to the data cited in the relevant report, one university conducted a medium-sized market survey and found that up to 40% of men are willing to buy AI physical dolls in the next five years. A number of manufacturers have also reported receiving inquiries and even paid pre-orders after announcing the product's imminent launch.
According to the information collected, most companies price artificial intelligence dolls between 50,000 yuan and 150,000 yuan. According to Forbes, the robot-related industry will reach $2 trillion by 2021, of which the "Sexual science and technology" industry will account for $50 billion. Numerous people believe that AI dolls will be able to fill a rigid demand in society once they are born.
Ten thousand reasons to be alone simply need additional value.
In fact, the rigid needs to be filled are people's "loneliness", from physical loneliness to spiritual loneliness, loneliness that is more prevalent due to changes in thoughts and concepts, and loneliness that is increasingly aggravated by technological and economic development.
When the sexes are more equal, women are more independent, and the marriage door is free to come and go, there will be more people who can't find the right person, but don't want to settle for someone who isn't. When no one wants to make concessions for each other, there will be more people to stay single, but it is also bound to suffer from physical and psychological loneliness day and night.
Moreover, in China, there are 105 males for every 100 females. This means that in a monogamous family structure, even if all men and women were married, there would be plenty of single men left, who are the main customer base for physical dolls. Others have trouble finding the right partner because of illness or disorders. Or some spouses live apart. For these people, AI dolls are a solution.
When the robot enters the house with a sexual orientation, it will be equipped with a number of ancillary services to enhance its added value. Over the past 30 years, the need for additional technology and intelligence has accelerated the development of memory, broadband networks and online payments. In the future, what kind of technological development will be driven by artificial intelligence "physical dolls"? We truly need not be afraid to imagine.
Physical doll AI! Empty fantasy, come crashing
Numerous movies have heralded the day when robots will become a part of everyday life, but until now, robots have had to be seen in movies or high-end settings. The current industrial significance of physical robots is only a part of manufacturing automation, such as robotic arms, which have left a large number of factories empty. In other words, what we think of as robots is still "job replacement."
But since the beginning of 2017, the company that makes the dolls has been making a huge push to release the world's first "physical dolls" equipped with artificial intelligence. Some industry experts claim that cutting-edge robotics, along with materials science, mechanical engineering and artificial intelligence, will make it possible to cut through the oldest physiological aspects of living things and reach into the lives of numerous people.
Is this a vain fantasy, or is it a real shift that is hurtling toward us?
From the outside to the inside, both soft and tough
Although AI dolls have not yet been officially commercialized, numerous mainstream media outlets have conducted extensive investigations and frequently surprised people. Their degree of imitation is fairly incredible, because the physical doll has a history of almost 100 years, especially for the skin, texture of the imitation, is incredible. Their joints can be opened at various angles, and the heating function makes the rose toy on tiktok feel like a human being.
In addition, the physical AI doll can frown, smile and even move its mouth when it speaks. They are designed to be static and passive characters: unable to walk, unable to make dexterous movements with their fingers, but still able to sway and sway, and have different vocal responses to touch.
