My only concern, truly, is the personalities they might give to to these dolls by default. As some people have already pointed out, coming home to your doll saying "Hello handsome, why don't we go to bed and I can show you a really good time..?" would be such a turn off. It's just a reminder of how fake they are.
What I would appreciate, is a software that comes with the robots, and allows us to program our own ideal personalities (to an extent), but also have the option for them to generate their own random likes and dislikes, within boundaries which we can also set.
So for example, I could program for my doll to be polite, shy, and into really "nerdy" stuff like Lord of the Rings, to make for an interesting conversation. These robots will presumably be connected to the Wifi, so they'll be able to search for relevant LOTR topics to talk about, and maybe even tell me something I didn't know about Tolkien's world!
She'd also be able to generate random likes of her own, but they'd be manageable for the user if I don't want her to like something. For example, she might one day say "I like baseball, can we talk about baseball?". I have no idea about baseball, or many sports to be completely honest xD So it'd be nice to just tap into the software and code in "NO SPORTS".
Some people might say this makes them appear MORE FAKE, however, we already develop our own ideas of what our dolls' personalities are anyway.
God, I can't wait for these dolls.

Mondino, it's official, you're on the AI programming team!
And here was me thinking that I was going to have to hack the software to remove any incling that sport even exists (might make an exception for discussions relating to Hunger Games and Quiddich)
One thing though... Are you absolutely positive that our girls only talk in our heads.... If thats the case why do the voices keep costing me money (
We puts the precious in the basket then we presses the buy it now).
