Berlin is set to host the world’s first cyber brothel, Cybrothel, where customers can interact verbally and physically with AI sex dolls. This pioneering venture is part of a growing trend in the adult entertainment industry, which is increasingly embracing generative AI. However, experts like Dr. Kerry McInerney warn that the data used to train these AI systems may perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes and ignore diverse forms of sexuality. Meanwhile, privacy researcher Misha Rykov highlights the lucrative but potentially addictive nature of AI companions, which can collect and share sensitive user data. And Tamara Hoyton, a senior practice consultant at Relate, cautions that the unrealistic expectations created by AI porn could have negative consequences for real-world relationships. As the industry continues to evolve, these concerns will need to be addressed to ensure that the benefits of AI are not outweighed by its risks.

From the article:
There is a risk that retrograde gender stereotypes about sex and pleasure get encoded into sex chatbots
Well, yes. It is a brothel. People go there to spank and get spanked
Clickbait. The title and first pararagraph has little to do with the article. And they’re just citing random people who supposedly said something which is not related to that place at all.
I’d say watch the episode of “Sex Actually with Alice Levine” (Channel 4, also BBC) where they actually visited that Cybrothel in Belin for 2 days. It’s from 2022(?) so it doesn’t factor in the latest advances, but as I remember they already show them experiment with VR and new technology.
