Autoblow, the pioneering brand that introduced the first AI-powered sex toy capable of mimicking human… um… actions, has once again pushed the boundaries of technology and human sexuality.
They’ve recently unveiled a short film and paper that paints a tantalizing picture of the potential future of sexual interactions, where physical touch is replaced by the power of thought. The mastermind behind Autoblow, Brian Sloan, embarked on a daring project to harness the power of brain-computer interfaces. The goal? To control the Autoblow AI+ using nothing but brainwaves, or more simply put, thoughts. This study was carried out by a team of neurotechnology scientists who chose to remain incognito, presumably due to the potential career repercussions of working in the field of human sexuality.
The study demonstrated the feasibility of controlling four distinct actions of the sex toy using brainwaves: initiating the machine’s stroking action, adjusting the stroking speed, and activating the “finish me” function, which triggers the AI mode at maximum speed.
During the experiment, participants donned EEG headsets, which were used to train a deep neural network to recognize brainwaves corresponding to specific Autoblow commands. The ultimate aim is to control sex toys using erotic thoughts, but for this study, participants were asked to associate thoughts of moving their arms and legs with the four Autoblow functions.
The Autoblow device, connected to Wi-Fi and placed on a nearby table, responded to these thought commands, with a graphical interface lighting up to signal the receipt of each command.
Sloan expressed his excitement about the revolutionary technology, stating, “Until now, we’ve only controlled sex toys using buttons and dials, which is essentially 100-year-old technology. The ability to think yourself or someone else to orgasm will transcend the normal human experience, giving us a completely new sexual ability.”
He further emphasized the potential of this technology in the future, where sexual devices like Autoblow, connected to Wi-Fi, could work equally well for individuals or groups, anywhere in the world. Sloan also highlighted the potential benefits for people with mobility issues, offering them a thought-controlled outlet for sexual autonomy. This marks a significant step forward in the intersection of technology and human sexuality, opening up a world of possibilities for the future.
