AI has come for the world’s oldest profession!
Cybrothel in Berlin offers customers a range of human-free sexual experiences involving sex dolls, AI, and virtual reality.
“The world’s first AI brothel” is the brainchild of Austrian filmmaker Philipp Fussenegger, whose most recent film Teaches of Peaches premiered at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival, where it won a Teddy Award for Best LGBTQ Documentary.
Philipp agreed to take a break from his skiing holiday to speak to me about how he got the idea, what it’s like catering to his clientele, and how far he thinks technology can go in augmenting or even replacing human-to-human sex and intimacy.
Our conversation takes in the queasy implications of realistic sex dolls, the narrow parameters of “beauty”, the complexity of human sexuality, and the challenges of broadening horizons while maintaining safe and healthy boundaries.
Also, Philipp is offering you the opportunity to name Cybrothel’s new male sex doll! Make sure you leave your suggestions in the comments on Substack, or send them to us via our website. Make sure you enter quick, because competition will be stiff!
Enjoy!
You can find Philipp’s film work on his website, and stream Teaches of Peaches on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video.
