Sexy and customizable; responds according to wish; surge in sales of sex dolls integrated with AI technology
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a major factor in all areas where humans have influence. AI systems, which were initially used only in the workplace, are now also at the forefront of fulfilling personal needs. Many companies that are using AI are reaping double profits. The Chinese company WM Doll has made a huge leap in the industry with the help of AI.
WM Doll is one of the largest sex toy manufacturers in China. The company itself has released crucial information. WM Doll says that its sales of sex dolls have increased as a result of adopting open-source generative AI to build products. The company said that building AI-based products has improved the customer experience and increased sales by 30 percent.
The South China Morning Post reported that the company began researching further improvements in the production of sex dolls after the launch of the open AI chat GPT in 2022. The report mentions that the company then integrated the chat GPT to produce sex dolls that feel real and are powered by AI.
Liu Jiangxia, founder and CEO of WM Doll, said that integrating AI into sex dolls makes the products more responsive and offers a better experience to users. However, some have raised concerns about the privacy of the dolls’ data. He clarified that the company does not have access to such matters.
WM Doll’s latest sex doll embeds the company's latest MetaBox series with an AI module. It is connected to cloud computing services. These systems enable Large Language Models (LLM) to collect real-time data from each device. The company has adopted various open-source LLMs, including Meta Platforms’ Llama AI models. WM Doll also manufactures and markets sex dolls according to customer preferences (customization).
The dolls are made of thermoplastic elastomer and silicone. The dolls are also equipped with metallic bone-like parts. It took a year to complete the construction and operation of the AI-integrated sex dolls. WM Doll has since delivered more than 100 prototypes of its Metabox series of sex dolls powered by LLM to customers in Europe and North America. The sex dolls used in the first phase were not able to provide much response. The new models are available in five different personalities.
Many international media outlets have reported that the new generation is distancing themselves from marriage due to the introduction of such innovative ideas. There are reports that such devices are being purchased online and in the market to fulfil personal needs.
