Robot Pole Dancers Will Soon Dance At A French Nightclub

Some say that technology is going to bring us to the new age of evolution.

A whole new age of the human race.

These days, it’s looking to be true. There seems to be nothing that robots and AI can’t do.

I mean, we’re having robots and flying drones for waiters.

A fully automated life that will allow us to deteriorate into useless beings isn’t that far away.

Is that a good thing?

I mean, we have tons of movies telling us that it would be a bad idea.

Fortunately, not everything can be done by robots.

Some things just need that human touch.

Things of art such as music and dance. Things of love and sex.

For example, you can’t possibly have a robot for a pole dancer, am I right?

Right..?

Robot Pole Dancers Debuting in France

Seems like that’s not what the French think.

A nightclub in Nantes, France, is taking technology perhaps a little too far.

The SC-Club is going to celebrate its 5th anniversary with a little techno.

And I’m not talking about music.

Yes, it looks as ridiculous as it sounds.

The robots will be donning stilettos and swinging around poles next week.

Seriously, I’m having trouble trying to imagine how a robot can possibly dance sensually and smoothly around a pole.

Fair point, Sonny.

Honouring The Technology

Giles Walker, a British artist, is the brains behind the two new truly exotic dancers.

He has overlaid the metal bodies with plastic mannequin parts and fitted their heads with CCTV cameras.

He said that this was aimed to “play with the notion of voyeurism”, and the idea of “who has the power between the voyeur and the observed person”.

The club owner, Lauren Roue, assures that the human dancers are not being replaced.

Probably to the relief of French men who, for a moment, panicked and started to look for a new club to spend their Friday nights.

It is, instead, meant simply as an honour, wink, or homage to robotics and technology.

A dancer from the club, called Lexi, agreed and also added that their job is artistic and beautiful, and that it will not be changed by robots.

I, Robot

So, how long before every job in the world is taken over by robots?

What about Goody Feed? Will writers be replaced by AI?

How do you know it hasn’t already happened?
