Inside a Chinese sex doll factory - BBC REEL

CONTENT ADVISORY: This video contains images of a sexual nature. The cavernous warehouses in TV series Westworld are filled with fleshy, realistic, AI-powered humanoids that are manufactured en masse. Now there’s a company in China doing something eerily similar… but building people-sized dolls for a specific purpose: sex. Baked in body-shaped moulds and strung on row after row of storage hangers, these talking dolls are built to carve out a slice of China’s rapidly growing sex toy industry. They may not come close to Westworld-like intelligence, but the sheer volume of these robots hint at a growing industry and changing attitudes towards sexuality.
