The article does not seem to have any information besides "there's AI in it"


> But the truly interesting aspect lies in how the device employs informational algorithms to make its movements more human-like. When you select its AI mode, a new interface appears with a velocimeter. When their penis has been inserted, the user hits start and a series of waves appears on-screen. “The AI is able to recognize the movement and intensity of stimulation in real time, to adapt and synchronize its motor and power according to the user’s preferences,” explains Di Ippolito. While the user moves the toy to the rhythm of a standard handjob, its artificial intelligence is able to adjust its speed and vibration to achieve maximum pleasure. For a product that is marketed as easy-to-use, Di Ippolito says that, “with Sensonic technology, you can feel sonic pulses throughout masturbation.”

> And what happens to the data the toy collects? “When it is not connected to wi-fi, the AI mode encrypts data in real time to adapt to the user’s movement and intensity. You can personalize the patterns and save them, all without any need of a wi-fi connection,” says Di Ippolito. In doing so, sex toys like this one can, “provide specific stimulation, intensify pleasure, lead to exploration of the body and sexual fantasies, and can improve a couple’s communication and intimacy,” she says.


yeah was disappointing

intersection between AI and sex and relationships is very interesting and important


A close friend of mine once said, many decades ago, all Human Innovation can be traced to the desire for sex.

As I have aged, I have come to believe that fully.


It can't be legal to put declining cookies behind a PayPal, right?


Nope, very illegal.


a very big amount of european news websites are doing this anyway and it seems it's not being enforced, so i think it's more grey area



All major German newspapers still do it
