You know I'm only teasing Staydead but you did come to mind when I saw this :lol:

I mean, this is the end of the Japanese population, isn't it. It's fascinating tech & depressing all the same.

If I was rich I'd buy this.

Japanese population is already plummeting as it is.

This is weird. And kind of depressing.

When is the sex version coming out? Asking for a friend.

I think you just stick your penis in it and think of England.

So it's Siri/Cortana/Alexa/Google Assistant with a cartoon lady but without the resources of Apple/Microsoft/Amazon/Google? I'm sure it'll be a great success.

Siri, Cortana, Alexa and Google-chan are low tier compared to the one in the OP.

I don't know how to feel about this. I mean a free jab at Staydead is something I literally haven't been able to do in years but also I think this thing is kinda cool.

If I wasn't a thirsty fuckboy with aspirations to bring girls back to my tiny Tokyo apartment I'd probably consider buying one. I'd want to switch off the whole "please come home soon neee" texting feature though.

That's true, would be a difficult thing to explain away why you have some weird sexualised robot thing in your home. I think this would just make me feel lonelier in that situation

Siri with the Australian voice though, pwhoar.

I don't really think it's any worse than owning a cat, probably far cheaper in the long run as well, and you're less likely to get horrible mind altering parasites from it.

Considering it's obvious short comings, no sex, no cooking, no cleaning, I'd say it's pretty good. It actually matches the demeanor of my wife pretty closely, other than the whole getting mad at me aspect :slol:

That is kind of cool, terrifying and slightly tragic all rolled into one package. Also the two grand price tag is eye watering.

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

Thankfully none of the Japanese girls I've dated over here have acted like that and spoke in that annoying tone.

Though on the other hand, none of them have ever warned me about heavy rain showers or got my apartment ready for my return, so it's possibly been a bit of a trade off. Debatable too, if the robotic one would actually end up costing me less.

Listen, as someone who has had to deal with the unfortunate situation of someone else's cat shitting on my bed I still feel that this is far worse than owning a cat. Or dealing with a cat shitting on my bed.

Sounds like your dates need to step up their game.

But this thing won't keep you up with incessant meowing either, and no litterbox to change. The only advantage of a cat is it's fluffy.

The advantage of a cat is that owning one wouldn't mark you out as some sort of fruit loop. Buying a "virtual assistant" product without the ecosystem support services like Siri offer just because it offers a Holographic anime lady friend is creepy. Thats one of the reasons Microsoft's representation of Cortana inside Windows 10 and it's planned appearance in other devices is a simple blue circle and not the CG fuckdoll representation from the games.
