Humans are attracted to simplification. We classify things in order to make them easier to understand and easier to organise. We like convenience. Even something as complex as sexual pleasure can be organised into a neat rolodex of fetishes and behaviours.

In our quests for sexual satisfaction and fulfilment in a tech-driven, hour screen time society, sexbots seem like a natural fit.

It simulated the experience of speaking to a therapist by responding to specific words and phrases, and represented a significant step forward in the evolution of human-like AI. But while some of ELIZA's "patients" took it for human, there were limits to the power of its engagement.
