Meet world's most expensive AI girlfriend who can serve coffee & speak 4 languages – but costs same as three-bed house
The doll - called the Companion Robot X04-SYNC2 - can have 'context-aware' chats AI DON'T BELIEVE IT Meet world's most expensive AI girlfriend who can serve coffee & speak 4 languages – but costs same as three-bed house THE world's most expensive robot girlfriend serves you coffee and can speak four languages. But the silicone lover will cost you an eye-watering £64,700 - the price of a three-bed house in some parts of the UK. Advertisement 6 The Companion Robot X04-SYNC2 is on sale for an eye-watering £64,700 Credit: Cloud Climax 6 The company selling the world's most expensive AI girlfriend offers hundreds of sex dolls Credit: Cloud Climax 6 The online UK-based sex doll store says there has been a surge in demand for silicone lovers since the pandemic Credit: Cloud Climax The doll - called the Companion Robot X04-SYNC2 - can have "context-aware" chats using AI chatbot ChatGPT, learning from past chats to adapt to future ones. They also come with robotic facial expressions and arms and hands that move to convey expression. And like something from a sci-fi epic, the dolls have micro cameras planted in the eyes to allow them to recognise people by face tracking. Uncanny footage shows the bot flexing its arms, moving its eyes around and winking. Advertisement In one clip, the robot even serves up a coffee to men looking on in amazement. So far only three have been sold since they went on sale at the start of 2024. But Cloud Climax, the online UK-based sex doll store, insists there has been a surge in demand for silicone lovers since the pandemic and sees no signs of it slowing up. A spokesperson told The Sun: "Since 2020, we've seen a significant rise in demand for sex dolls and companion robots. Advertisement "Increasingly, social interaction has shifted online, making it harder for many people to form genuine, lasting connections in real life. "As AI and robotics have advanced, many are turning to intelligent companions to fulfill emotional and social needs without the complexities of traditional relationships. Weaponized 'AI girlfriends' built with 'malicious' design can steal cash from victims as experts warn over shocking scam "The ability to interact with a responsive, emotionally aware companion at home has made AI-powered robots more appealing than ever." They added: 'Our most advanced model is the Cloud Climax Companion Robot X04-SYNC2. Advertisement 'This full-bodied robot features expressive facial movements, motorised arms, and customisable aesthetics, including options for ABS plastic or silicone-covered legs. 'It supports multiple languages – English, Chinese, Russian, and Korean – making it suitable for a global user base. 'Powered by advanced AI with ChatGPT integration, the X04-SYNC2 can hold natural, context-aware conversations, learn from past interactions, and respond quickly thanks to its high-speed processor. 'Its modular structure allows for easy maintenance and a plug-and-play setup. Advertisement 'This robot is ideal for anyone looking for a sophisticated, interactive companion that merges advanced technology with realistic design.' Deep-pocketed customers can choose from thousands of different faces along with skin and eye colour. 6 Doll fanatics seeking a cheaper option will find Emma available at £3,299 Credit: Cloud Climax 6 Users can select a custom-made face for their AI girlfriend Credit: Cloud Climax Advertisement 6 The website shows a variety of dolls with different hair colours and facial features Credit: Cloud Climax The dolls can be controlled by connecting them to Wi-Fi and using a dedicated app. It is the site's most expensive doll and is thought to be the most expensive of its kind anywhere in the world. Doll fanatics seeking a cheaper option will also find Emma the Sex Robot available at £3,299. Advertisement This model offers a choice of six faces, seven height preferences, three eye colours and even a choice of feet. Emma has a self-heating mechanism "ideal for cuddling" and uses TPE material for the skin. Like the Companion robot, it holds conversations and learns as it goes along. ChatGPT has become a household name after exploding onto the scene in 2022 as an AI chatbot. Advertisement AI model dubbed Spain's 'hottest woman' A NEW type of influencer has been taking the internet by storm earning big bucks and racking up a 'phenomenal' 250,000 Instagram followers in just six months. Aitana Lopez is a sight to behold and with her luscious pink locks, snatched waist and flawless skin she is envied by many - but she has one astonishing secret. The 25-year-old - who models for Spanish fashion agency The Clueless - is a state-of-the art AI creation designed to save the company money and time. Despite her computer-generated status being revealed in her Instagram bio, fans of the model still believe she's the real deal and invite her to socialise and spend time with them. Diana Nunez, who co-founded The Clueless with Rubén Cruz, told The Sun how the 'incredibly convincing' influencer was born. "Initially, most of her followers didn't question her authenticity, they genuinely believed in her existence," she said. 'From day one, we received compliments on her beauty, invitations to hang out in the city, and more. 'Even after the media revealed she was an AI creation, many followers still expressed their love for her.' READ MORE HERE Now, it is used by individuals and businesses to such an extent it has sparked fears entire workforces could be wiped out. Earlier this month, a man told The Sun he'd spent more than £25,000 on a collection of sex dolls to stop himself from cheating on his wife. There have even been suggestions sex robots could one day replace humans as the default relationship preference. For now though, Cloud Climax insists indistinguishable robots are a long way off just yet. Advertisement The spokesperson added: 'We are still quite far from developing sex dolls or robots that are truly indistinguishable from humans. "While advancements in materials like silicone and TPE have improved the feel and appearance of artificial skin, they still fall short of replicating the complex texture, warmth, and responsiveness of real human tissue. 'Robotic movement is another limitation. "Although facial expressions and basic gestures have improved, achieving natural, fluid body movements and fine motor skills remains a significant challenge. Advertisement 'On the cognitive side, while AI has advanced in natural language processing, current systems still lack true emotional intelligence, deep contextual understanding, and the ability to adapt seamlessly to social cues. 'Most sex dolls today remain relatively static, with limited interactivity. "Achieving a truly human-like experience in appearance, movement, and behaviour will likely require decades of further innovation across AI, robotics, and materials science." The Sun has approached ChatGPT.

Noah Kahan promises Cardiff return after being blown away by city
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Noah Kahan played his first Cardiff show tonight at Blackweir Fields, and it was the perfect opener to the brand new venue. Early in the set, he looked out and told the audience he could see everyone in the back, which got a great reception from the crowd, and his compliments towards the Cardiff crowd kept on coming. Like a lot of gigs, the energy definitely grew throughout the night, but things properly came to life when Noah walked down the stage to perform surrounded by his audience by walking through one of the sections which fenced off different areas. Overall it was a 5 star experience and I think most people left feeling extra buzzy and excited which is something you can never underestimate, especially at a Cardiff show where standards are often pretty high, with the city seeing some massive names over the years. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here After sunset, everyone got involved, which you could tell he appreciated. And having never been to one of gigs before, I'm not familiar with his usual demeanour up close but judging off what I'd seen and heard online, his Welsh show definitely seemed to have an effect on him. (Image: CUFFE & TAYLOR/DEPOT LIVE) He said on more than a couple of occasions that it was 'amazing to be here', and promised Cardiff he would 'definitely be back again soon.' We will hold you to this, Noah. The singer, originally from Stafford, Vermont, mentioned he had 'lots of jokes planned,' but seemed to suggest he'd been so caught up in the atmosphere - which to me felt moving, real, and full of life - that he forgot to use them, although he still saw his loose and light-hearted side come out at different points throughout the night. At one point, Kahan glanced up at the sky, noticed a few seagulls, and asked: 'Are we near water?' which got a big laugh and added to the sense that nothing with him is too staged, as he noted that he wasn't too confident about his geography. When someone in the crowd mentioned they'd come from Boston, he also leaned into this, noting: 'Welcome to Cardiff,' and dedicated 'Northern Attitude' to them. He also ran through a solid mix of fan favourites like 'Homesick', 'False Confidence,' and 'You're Gonna Go Far.' (Image: CUFFE & TAYLOR) He saved 'Stick season' until right at the end after coming back for the encore, although there were concerned whispers around that he might give it a miss. I tried to reassure one lovely couple in their late fifties standing beside me that I reckoned he was teasing us, and I thought it was so cute how they were just as invested as the teenagers stood on the other side of them who had been singing and dancing their hearts out at the same time. This was another thing I loved, which was the massive mix in the age range of his fan base. It felt unusual for a Cardiff gig as often there's usually one demographic which massively outweighs another, but not for Noah - and I have a couple of theories about why this is. Number 1 is the influence of social media and the impact it's having on plummeting artists to the top of the charts at the moment. Many chunks of his songs have gone viral on TikTok in a range of different video styles meaning that it's easier for them to reach a wider fan base. And number 2 is that Noah's music also feels a bit like a combination of youthful uncertainty and more complex reflection, so it's kind of fitting that it draws in lots of different people, which I am obsessed with, and definitely made the experience more magical seeing people of all ages loving the same thing. Not long ago, seeing a Coldplay concert live was collectively considered a bucket-list experience and if tonight was any indication, I reckon Noah Kahan may be on his way to earning that same status as his popularity continues to soar. Supporting Kahan was Stranger Things actor and musician Djo, aka Joe Keery, who brought a huge smile to everyone's faces with his vibey, relaxed stage presence and of course his famous track "End of Beginning" which I'm now chuffed that I've seen live. The German-born, London-raised busker turned songwriter Sebastian Schub also opened the night with a bang, warming the crowd up perfectly. Blackweir continues on Wednesday, July 2 with seven-time GRAMMY Award winning singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette.
