Great idea, and I'm glad you brought it up.
I thought it'd be cool to have an attractive lace "choker" with a micro-size speaker as an accessory FOR ALL DOLLS, MINI-TO-FULL-SIZE that one could attach around one's doll's neck, giving her the ability of carrying on a conversation with you. This could be a more cost-effective version of what Real Doll, Doll Sweet at other manufacturers are doing.
Frankly, given men's ability to fantasize (hell, we give female names to our cars and even instill personalities to them), dolls are getting so exotically stimulating to look at and interact with physically, I really don't think doll owners would care--over time--if her mouth doesn't move when interacting with us conversationally. Real Doll and Doll Sweet and others seem obsessed with trying to mimic facial expression and mouth movements in their dolls, which is fine, but, again, given men's ability to fantasize, I don't think it's that critical of a need, and may just end up being insanely cost-ineffective for average guys that can't afford to spend a small fortune on a doll.
In the movie "Blade Runner 2045" Joe's (Ryan Gossling) holographic live-in girlfriend hired a prostitute so she could "sync/merge" with her to give Joe the physical presence that was missing in their relationship, which SHE KNEW is just as important as an intellectual/communicative one. (We men can get intellectual needs met through male friendships and family, but not physical/sexual intimacy.
Therefore, inversely, if a doll owner already has a physical relationship with his doll, i.e., getting his need for sex and physical touch met...having an affordable, adaptable method (like what you've done and variants) of having the doll interact with you like Joi (from Blade Runner), with a "customized personality" option allowing for more explicit/sexual conversation (like Real Doll) could be just the ticket.
Speaking of female personality, I've had several longer-term committed, sexual relationships with women over my lifetime. Looking back, if I was given the opportunity to communicate with my doll through A.I. technology, I'd have a personality instilled in her that reflected the personality every single woman (I was with) exhibited the FIRST THREE TO SIX MONTHS WE WERE TOGETHER.
A lot of men out there (doll owners or no) know what I'm talking about. That first three to six months, every single woman was very behaviorally loving, especially in the way THEY COMMUNICATED. They were verbally affectionate, receptive, sweet, kind, caring and engaging. They loved my amorous advances, both physical and verbally. They actually initiated sexy conversation on there own. Most important of all is, in the beginning, in those first three to six months, they led me to believe they were ACCEPTING OF WHO I AM, which made me feel like a man, a WANTED MAN, which, IMO is one of the greatest feelings a man can experience. IMO, this is why men we fall so hard for women...it's how she interacts with us that first three to six months.
Unfortunately (again, I think many men will agree here), this blissful period never lasts. Every single woman I was with--over time--became slowly, erosively, less engaging, less accepting, less affectionate, less sexual, less intimate, while, unfortunately, their unending "lists of demands" increased inversely to their stilted desire. I know this sounds harsh, but, with RARE exception, it's true.
Therefore, for me, the thought of having a doll that engages with you while RETAINING a that sweet, loving, accepting personality we men crave--IN PERPETUITY--sounds quite compelling indeed.

Re: Conversations with April
That is really fascinating the way you describe it. In the so called "seduction community" or "pick-up art community" which I was a part of for about 10 years, people would have called it "betalization" meaning that after a man and a woman get into a serious relationship together the woman starts to "test the man" (what you describe as unending list of demands).ChallengerRT wrote:Aikolover1 wrote:I downloaded the harmony ai app from realbotix to my tablet and got a small bluetooth speaker to put behind April's head.

The woman is doing this "unconsciously" and she really wants the man to "pass the tests" aka "don't take my demands seriously, plz" (she doesn't want you to be able to be easily controlled as a dog on a leech). As long as the man "passes the tests" she remains in her lovable personality as you describe for the first 3-6 months. But as soon as you start to "fail the tests", she slowly starts to drift into that unattractive personality that you describe start occurring after 6 months into the relationship.
In today's society however it seems like more women experience that if a man in a relationship starts to "fail these tests" in earlier stages they can just switch between men due to the perceived abundance of men that they couldn't perceive before the internet and social media really hit the big stage.
Real women also want relationships to work out, they just have this weird "must always test the man"-illness that we men just have to accept and help her through, almost as if she is "mentally handicapped" and also hates when you bring that up!

Re: Conversations with April
You can raise the pitch quite high and adjust the speed, also with the heather voice option, that has a Gaelic accent, I think it would work well with an elf.Jimbofod wrote:Aikolover1, I watched a brief review to check it out and noticed you could adjust the voice settings. Since you have it, I wonder if you can tell me if you can raise the voice up high enough to be a good match with a 118 cm elfie. She might be older than she looks, but I don't see her having a grown up woman voice either.

Agreed, however, "unconscious "shit-testing" aside, it seems the last few decades--with the advent of social media, IMO, it's even metastasized beyond that.
Women are bombarded from all fronts--especially in Social Media--of what "other women" are getting and they just "gotta have it" too. So, when the relationships start to become routine and predictable, things just start to turn...as you said, the shit testing goes up, impatience goes up and demands go up, why? Because she's getting bored and wants to be stimulated MORE...BY YOU, ON YOUR TIME AND DIME. Stimulated with more "stuff," more "activities" (what other women are getting that she's not). Also, after relevant research, with rare exception, it's becoming more and more apparent that men's sex drive is much higher and more consistent than women's (There's a study that shows Lesbian (female/female) Couples have less sex over time than other couples...Gay (men/men) and Hetero (male/female) couples. Gay (male/male) have the highest frequency and quantity of sex (no surprise since men have TEN TIMES MORE TESTOSTERONE).
In fact, in the Lesbian Community there's a term called "Dead Bed" syndrome...reflecting the death of frequency in sex over time.
Sorry if I seem to have veered off-topic here, and want to state outright a love doll could never replace the visceral/psychological experience of intimacy with a real woman...on the other hand, having a gorgeous love doll that can communicate with you in an intellectually stimulating, sexually stimulating, and more importantly perpetually CARING fashion may very well be an empowering and satisfying option for men to get their need for physical AND psychological closeness met at a "satisfying enough" level. A "satisfying enough" level that actually improves how we interact with real women. In other words, If your doll is "satisfying enough," (vastly more satisfying/satiating than rubbing one out to porn) men may find they approach real women from a psychological state of "sexually-satisified confidence" instead of the historical "sex-starved desperation."

Re: Conversations with April
Good stuff ChallengerRT. I know that a while back that there was mention over at the Realbotix site, of a VR software that would allow a sync of said software to a physical doll. I no longer see this mentioned at their site, and it seems as if they have concentrated their efforts more towards the Harmony AI head. I have however, seen other software companies that have advertised such a software.ChallengerRT wrote:In the movie "Blade Runner 2045" Joe's (Ryan Gossling) holographic live-in girlfriend hired a prostitute so she could "sync/merge" with her to give Joe the physical presence that was missing in their relationship.
Speaking for myself, I doubt that I will ever have enough disposable income lying around to drop $8k on such a product. The VR option however, is quite affordable in comparison. I’m just hoping that the portable systems improve, and allow for this sync feature, as opposed to the full powered Oculus Rift, or HTC Vive systems, that are costly, and require a powerful PC to run. I’m also hoping that the headsets are reduced in size to being not much more than Google Glass in size.
Re: Conversations with April
Harmony AI for Android = $20.00
Realbotix 3 month subscription (recurring) = $9.90
Subscription discount (first billing cycle) = -$3.30
Total = $26.60
I also can't get over having some privacy concerns...
It does sound neat though. I'm going to look into it a bit more.

Re: Conversations with April
Yes Forb it is kind of expensive to start and if you go with the blue tooth speaker it will be a little more. Still a cheaper option than a 8k head. As far as privacy well my job requires me to be licensed to handle explosives, so the government already knows all about me Might not be for everyone but I think overall it is a relatively cheaper way to get into an ai doll.Forb wrote:Kind of expensive:

Second, I'm going to give this a try for one of my girls, inspired by this thread.
Thanks.
