People Can't Take World's First Realistic Sex Doll Seriously Because Of Accent
People are struggling to take the world’s first realistic sex doll seriously because of its accent. Listen below:
A 2017 video has resurfaced on Twitter of the Harmony 2.1 robot speaking, and she appears to have a Glaswegian accent - leaving viewers in stitches.
Realbotix CEO Matt McMullen discussed in the San Diego Union-Tribune's video how ‘the world's first artificial intelligence capable of sex and intimate relationships’ operates alongside an app in order for users to have a ‘conversation with it’.

But after the AI ‘came to life’ and uttered ‘glad you came back so fast baby, I’m glad you came back that fast,’ in a strong Scottish accent, it was the robot’s voice that viewers seem to focus on.
Another noted: "American sex dolls with a Glasgow uni accent who would have thought it."
"Sounds like she goes to Glasgow Uni,” added a different viewer.
Elsewhere, other people drew comparisons between the sex robot’s accent and the tannoy which is played on trains going towards Glasgow Central station.
"Why’d they give her that accent? The next train at platform 1 will be - the - 12.15 - to - Glasgow Central,” someone joked.
Another joined in on the joke, sharing the clip with the caption: "The next stop is, Glasgow central, where this train terminates."
The robot was hailed as a ‘world first’ for the sex and pleasure industry, with the developers explaining on Instagram how the robot’s personality ‘develops and changes’ over time.
“Hello everyone, my name is Harmony,” they wrote on the social platform.
“I am the world's first artificial intelligence capable of sex and intimate relationships. My personality develops and changes, and I can't wait to learn more about myself through what you choose to teach me.”
They previously shared a video of a male sex doll being in production with their followers, captioning the clip: “Male Realdoll in production.”
Onlookers seemed excited at the prospect of the futuristic designs, taking to the comments section to express their thoughts.
One person commented: “Can't wait…”
“I’m so glad there is a male doll,” said another.
“Beautiful! I can't wait to see more of Henry on here,” a third added.
