But how do people ignore that it's a machine simulating having feelings for you? Is it like the steak in The Matrix?
I played with Sony's Aibo robot dog once, if you hold out your hand in front of it, it can pretend to eat off your hand. After a few tries, it did so, and I thought "How cute!". Then I realized it was just image recognition and logic that instructed some actuators to do certain things..
Perhaps VR goggles and AI that analyses the video and activates the actuators and pumps in sync with whatever is happening in the video would also work.. or oh, geez, why not realtime generated videos?
