Will there one day be more robots than humans?

Saw these “Robot Doll Friends” you can buy online, for like 5,000 dollars each. I think that’s just plain creepy having a robot in your own house actually talking to you like normal person?? It can actually blink and make eye contact with you and stuff?? Is that normal??

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    AI beings are coming, like it or not. In the not so distant future (less than 100 years) there will be AI beings that will be far more advanced than us. Hopefully they will not want to irradicate us like they tried in the Terminator series.

    Notice I refer to them as AI Beings and not robots.

    There are over 2 billion smartphone users in the world right now. We're all carrying around tiny robots in our pockets every day. As for the dolls, yeah creepy as fuck, I seriously hope it doesn't come to that. No thank you.

    it really depends on how quickly android science progresses. at the moment, no, there are way too many people in the world to be replaced by the current available mundane dolls. but i guess, if it progresses to a point where the dolls become more attractive than real people and manage to fulfil every social need of a human being (which seems impossible to me), then yeah, i guess it's possible that after a LONG time people would prefer to buy dolls than reproduce, lowering the population and raising the number of dolls.

    Does it matter?
    You'll be dead by then,
    So will I.
    If our species doesn't deserve to remain dominant.
    It wont, and why should it?
