Sex bots still got those freaky faces. Even with the high end silicone variants. Im concerned with children perception of the "teaching assistance". Like will they see the face and be creeped out and not want to go to school.

Plus the article mentioned something crazy with cameras and mics seems to be the bigger issue.

The presence of cameras and microphones in a room full of minors, supplied by a company that also runs a sex-doll firm, is a bit of an eyebrow-raiser

Eyebrow-raiser doesn't really seem to match a strange sinking sensation in my chest.

That's just the Cleveland Steamer. You'll get used to the sensation soon.
