The following article discusses themes of an adult nature.<\/p>\n
Lovense has turned up to CES with a \u201ccompanion doll,\u201d a life-size sex doll that\u2019s designed to be more than just a life size sex doll<\/a>. The company has equipped it with its proprietary AI engine and promises \u201chuman-like cognition, emotional awareness and expressive behavior.\u201d The doll, which in the marketing video is called Emily, is Lovense\u2019s answer to the global loneliness crisis. It says, over time, a user\u2019s relationship with the system will grow deeper as it learns to adapt to their needs. And that the doll is the natural evolution of the virtual companions that have, until now, \u201cexisted only on phones and screens.\u201d<\/p>\n From a hardware standpoint, the doll uses a standard user posable skeleton for everywhere but inside the skull. Up top, there are various servos and mechanisms to give the doll the ability to slightly move their mouth while speaking, as well as some basic facial expressions. (You haven\u2019t lived until you\u2019ve seen Emily attempt a smize or a wink in a matter few would describe as flirtatious.) The company hasn\u2019t spoken about the less delicate parts of her anatomy, but did say her built in Bluetooth can \u201cintegrate effortlessly with the full Lovense ecosystem\u201d and can run for eight hours on a single charge.<\/p>\n The major focus, however, is on the AI part of the equation, explaining it will remember details of previous conversations to enable users to build a deeper bond with its user. In addition, you can even engage with the AI when you\u2019re out and about, messaging it via the Lovense app. Oh, and you can even get \u201cAI-generated selfies that mirror her real-world appearance\u201d should you want. The company, in its materials, say that the doll will hopefully lead people out of their comfort zone and better equip them to engage with real people.<\/p>\n Of course, it\u2019s worth noting that Lovense\u2019s track record with people\u2019s most intimate data isn\u2019t the best. In 2017, a Reddit user discovered the Lovense app was recording a private moment<\/a> between them and their partner. In July 2025, another security flaw enabled<\/a> hackers to hijack accounts without a password. The company addressed both issues at the time, but it\u2019s one to consider if you\u2019re thinking about forming a long-term relationship with one of its bots.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no word on pricing or availability just yet \u2014the company will be launching a pre-sale in the near future \u2014 but you can probably expect it to be fairly expensive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The following article discusses themes of an adult nature.
