Why people will soon be marrying and having sex with Robots!

Sounds out-of-this-world? Well it's about to be part of ours sooner than you think...

People could be falling in love and having sex with robots in a few decades and even marrying them, according to a British artificial intelligence researcher.

David Levy, originally from London, has made the controversial forecasts about the future of human-robot relationships in his Ph.D thesis.

In "Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners", he argues that current trends in robotics and artificial intelligence mean the leap to humans and robots forming relationships is not far away. Mr Levy, also an International Master in chess, believes robots will soon appear so like humans in the way they look and act, in their personality and how they express emotions, that many people will fall in love with them.

His predictions are based on his analysis of certain trends and on what he sees as the inevitability of how they will continue in the future.

I wonder what would happen if two same sex robots wanted to marry?
