Once again people fail to think exponentially. Given the nature of exponential growth in computing, this technology WILL BE possible within the next twenty years. A exponential curve always accelerates at the end.
Twenty years ago, did you think you would be able to carry mankinds collected knowledge in your pocket?

If we´re talking about a robot like the ones that appear in “bicentenary man”, some could agree. But, now, or 15 years from here, I think it´s just perfect nonsense.

Hmmm…inflatable sex toys are nothing new. It seems there’s far more promise in virtual reality. More interesting than the robots is the fact that you have here a black reporter who’s a Russian with a British accent reporting on another guy who’s fallen in love with a white robot/mannequin. Perhaps someday none of that stuff will matter, but for now it’s interesting.
