## Sex Robot

To teach people how to responsibly and respectfully flirt and sext, an iOS app called [Juicebox](<https://www.juiceboxit.com/>) built an AI chatbot — aptly named Slutbot.

Slutbot can break the ice with users before jumping into mechanically-stilted dirty talk speckled with questions and comments about comfort zones and consent, [according to *The New York Times*](<https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/20/fashion/dating-bots-flirttech.html?utm_campaign=the_download.unpaid.engagement&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=72881438&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_c4khrP8nNXfdIJg6d9u_JjUtF_QQVl-ahpdI_1HvO7KO4NzqwYKMTMUkXO3zAOCsxl9pBGtq8OpJZoL1gaQAg0I3dsw&_hsmi=72881438>). The idea of [getting intimate with a chatbot](<https://futurism.com/digisexuals-tech-replacing-human-intimacy>) might seem odd, but the idea is that Slutbot will help people learn to navigate those conversations without the risk of alienating or insulting another person.

## Safe Space

Algorithms tend to [reflect the biases](<https://futurism.com/microsoft-announces-tool-catch-biased-ai>), conscious or not, of the people who program them or provide their training data — a troubling notion for AI meant to help people discuss sex and intimacy.

But the people behind the sexy chatbot told the *NYT* that they worked to be as considerate as possible of people's identities, preferences, and personal needs.

"As a queer woman collaborating with sex educators and erotic fiction writers, we were the right people to think through these concerns," Juicebox founder Brianna Rader told *The NYT*.
