How’s the robot vaginas coming along?
- It feels you doing a bad job.
  
  The future is HERE. If it laughs when you take your cock out then it's a 1:1 simulation
  
  real
- E-girl E-skin
- I wonder what it'll do to human reproduction rates when we have those.
  
  Just make it a robotic succubus/incubus and it’ll be fine.
- Asking the real questions
...I'm a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.
- Incredibly advanced AI, yet it couldn't fix the German accent. My Google Home speaker can do better.
There will be a day when a robot crushes it's digit in a machine and learns that we gave it the ability to feel pain.
- Solution: wrap all machines in skin, and several eyes, and ears, so it can sense if it's about to injure someone. And at least one mouth do that it can communicate a warning.
People will really make a Synth instead of meeting someone
Would it be able to replace people skin too? I’m starting to saggy and spotty.
Yay, more uncanny valley robots.
