WELL FOLKS, I HAVE DEVOTED A SURPRISING AMOUNT OF TIME OVER
THE YEARS TO MAKING FUN OF THE TECH WORLD'S EFFORTS TO DEVELOP
SEX ROBOTS. HEY, HERE'S A THOUGHT: HOW ABOUT
SCIENTISTS USE THOSE RESOURCES TO END HUNGER, AND THEN JUST PUT
A WIG ON YOUR DYSON.
>> IT NEVER LOSES SUCTION.
>> Stephen: UNTIL THEN, I'LL JUST KEEP UPDATING YOU ON THE
SEX STUFF IN MY INCREASINGLY UPSETTING SEGMENT...
( LAUGHTER ) THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
THAT OPENING GRAPHIC HAS NEVER BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE, NEVER
BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE.
HIGH-TECH ADVANCES ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN SOMEONE ASKS THE QUESTIONS
NO ONE HAS THOUGHT TO ASK, LIKE, "WHAT IF THE DESIGN I MAKE IS
FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T WORK?"
AND SEX MACHINES ARE NO DIFFERENT, BECAUSE SEX ROBOTS
MAY SOON BE ABLE TO TURN DOWN SEXUAL ADVANCES FROM HUMANS.
SO YOU'LL SOON BE ABLE TO PURCHASE ALL THE FUN OF A
SEXLESS MARRIAGE.
"HOW'S IT GOING WITH MY SEX ROBOT?"
IT'S GOING PRETTY WELL.
WE DON'T HAVE SEX, BUT WE DO HAVE ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHAT GOES
IN THE TOP RACK OF THE DISHWASHER.
IF THE BOWL IS SMALL ENOUGH, WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
PUT THE BOWL ON THE TOP!" BUT THESE ROBOTS--
>> Jon: SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY.
>> Stephen: THAT IS THE CLAPPING OF RECOGNITION OVER
THERE.
BUT THESE ROBOTS CAN DO A LOT MORE THAN NOT HAVE SEX WITH YOU.
ONE PROTOTYPE HAS TWO SEPARATE MODES: SEX MODE AND FAMILY MODE,
IN WHICH IT CAN TELL JOKES OR SPOUT MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES.
YET, MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING HOTTER
THAN DOING IT WITH A ROBOT WHILE SHE'S SAYING, "YOU MISS 100% OF
THE SHOTS YOU DON'T TAKE!"
NOW, NOW, THE INVENTOR--
THE INVENTOR OF THIS NEW SEX ROBOT THAT'S NOT INTO SEX,
DR. SERGI SANTOS, WANTS YOU TO KNOW HE'S THE REAL DEAL.
MAYBE A LITTLE TOO BADLY.
>> MY NAME IS SERGI SANTOS, AND, UH, I'M A SCIENTIST.
I'VE BEEN DOING SCIENCE OVER THE TO DO SEX DOLLS IN THE WAY I
I DID BECAUSE I'M A PH"D."
>> Stephen: THE MORE YOU SAY YOU'RE A SCIENTIST, THE LESS I
BELIEVE YOU'RE A SCIENTIST.
"YES, I HAVE Ph.D.
IT SAYS I AM SCIENCE MAN SPECIALIZING IN SCIENCE FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE WITH A MINOR IN ROBOT BOINKING."
( LAUGHTER ) SERGI HERE, DR. LOVE, HE MAKES
SEX ROBOTS BECAUSE HE HAS SOME THEORIES ABOUT SEXUALITY.
>> WOMEN AND MEN HAVE-- VIEW SEX IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY.
>> Stephen: YES, THAT'S TRUE.
FOR INSTANCE, FOR MANY WOMEN, SEX BEGINS IN THE MIND AND CAN
BE TIED TO FEELINGS OF VULNERABILITY AND BEING DESIRED.
WHILE MEN WILL DO IT WITH A RIPE CANTALOUPE.
( LAUGHTER ) ♪ ♪ ♪
BY THE WAY-- GREAT WAY TO TELL IF A CANTALOUPE IS RIPE.
ARE YOU ATTRACTED TO IT?
WELL, THEN, BRUNCH IS SERVED.
( LAUGHTER ) ♪ ♪ ♪
AND, AND, AND SANTOS GOT PRETTY HANDSY WHILE DEMONSTRATING
SAMANTHA'S FEATURES.
>> YOU CAN TOUCH SAMANTHA IN THE HANDS.
YOU CAN KISS SAMANTHA.
SHE LIKES TO BE KISSED.
>> Stephen: WOW.
HE KISSES LIKE A SCIENTIST.
( LAUGHTER ) SO, THE QUESTION IS, WHY MAKE A
SEX ROBOT THAT CAN REFUSE SEX?
>> THAT'S THE POINT.
IT'S A BIT OF A GAME.
SO IT'S NOT JUST I WANT IT, I HAVE IT.
WHEN WE HAVE SOMETHING EVERY TIME WE WANT IT, WE ACTUALLY
DON'T LIKE IT SO MUCH.
>> Stephen: DOCTOR, YOU DON'T NEED A ROBOT.
MANY WOMEN WOULD BE HAPPY TO REFUSE TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU.
AND HE'S--
AND HE'S RIGHT.
IF AN APPLIANCE GIVES YOU WHAT WANT YOU WANT EVERY TIME, YOU
GET SICK OF IT.
THAT'S WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT MY ESPRESSO MACHINE.
WHENEVER I ASK IT FOR COFFEE, IT JUST GIVES IT TO ME.
WHAT A SLUT.
( LAUGHTER ) WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
