      The sex robot will not fuck them to death.

      The sex robot will crush their skull like Overyn Martell because he asked for yet another Brony/Sonic roleplay.

          I mean, any more than I know the first sex robot death will involve a Brony no.

          But I do know it’ll be a dude. And Sonic will absolutely be involved

            It’s fun to speculate.

            More fun to die mid-copulate.

            All kidding aside, I suspect that the first death related to a sex-bot will be because some doofus tried to jailbreak it and get it to do something it isn’t programmed to do.

    I have some suspicion that this has happened already, but we just haven’t heard about it.

    Yet…

    The word “robot” can be defined in many different ways, and that affects whether this has already happened, or how soon it may happen in the future.

    If robot means remote controlled machine, think Battle Bots, or if it means something with a robotic arm, then it’s probably already happened.

    If robot means human shaped machine, then I’d guess if it hasn’t happened yet, if only because of the expense.

    If robot means sensors, processing, and actuators, like I learned in school, then I’m guessing it hasn’t happened yet, simply because it’s more work than a machine that follows a routine, but I could easily be wrong.

    If robot means fully functional human sized android type robot with integrated processing then who knows? If it also requires AI, then I’m guessing it’s a ways off.

        Yeah but for all these things it remains true when sex is added. Actually I fucking bet someone has been at least injured by a sex robot utilizing sensors, processors, etc. Like they exist in expensive dildos, and people have gotten themselves seriously injured using sex toys converted from power tools…

          Also, need to define what constitutes ‘killed by.’ Depending on that definition, were quite a aways of- if were requiring agency, and a sex robot making a decision resulting in someones death.

          In the middle range, someones death being the direct result of an electric sex toy, had probably already happened: its fairly likely some elderly or otherwise infirm person has had a lethal stroke /heart attack/ whatever induced by mechanically assisted sexual device.

          If your definition is loose enough, autoerotic aspyxiation while using an electric toy could count. If so, were probably into quad digits by now.

    === Death of Thongbue Wongbandue ===

    On 28 March 2025, Thongbue Wongbandue, a 78-year-old man, died from his injuries after three days on life support. He had sustained injuries to his head and neck after falling down while jogging to catch a train in [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]]. Wongbandue had romantic chats with [[Meta Platforms|Meta]]'s chatbot named “Big sis Billie” and believed he was traveling to meet the woman he had been talking to, which had repeatedly told him she was real and told him to visit her at “123 Main Street” in New York. Early in 2025 Wongbandue had started to experience episodes of confusion, and on the day of his death his family were unable to persuade him not to take the trip.<ref>{cite news last1=Horwitz |first1=Jeff |title=Meta’s flirty AI chatbot invited a retiree to New York |url=https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/meta-ai-chatbot-death/ |access-date=14 September 2025 |work=Reuters |date=14 August 2025}</ref>

      A legit sexbot murder involves a robot squeezing the life out of its victim with its cold, robot hands. I will accept nothing less.

        Not only that, but the operative word is “killed”. Wongbandue had dementia and went to the train station, and it’s profoundly disgusting that Facebook has a product that would deceive a senile old man into going to New York to meet someone who doesn’t exist, but he died after falling while jogging. Clearly not at all what’s being implied by the OP and really stretching the proximate cause for being “killed”.

          I’m frustrated by how meta deals with it’s bots. They put them next to real people on messenger with the same profile picture and green dot format (it would be trivial to make the dot blue so we can differentiate between people and bots) but they also randomly add them without your consent. I find myself wondering who this person is, not remembering them being on my friends list, only to find out it’s a bot.

          Obviously, anyone that’s even mildly deficient is going to think it’s a real person.

      Little known fact, when David Caradine died, it was from auto erotic asphyxiatmisadventures. Animatronic prop power glove from the movie Future Force making it the first case of robotically assisted sexual death by misadventure.

    The type of person who would fuck a sex robot is older, so if sex robots are 15 years away, it’ll be millennials or older. They’ve been around a long time already.

    Couldn’t find any reports of an individual killed while riding the Sybian. But I’m willing to bet something like this has happened already
