Ladies 2.0

In the neon-lit labyrinthine streets of a cyberpunk world, the towering edifices of XX Biotech's corporate headquarters cast long shadows over the city. It all began three decades ago when Thomas Lange, a visionary with a heart shrouded in grief, founded XX Biotech as a robotics lab. His motivation was the tragic loss of his beloved wife, Audrey. Consumed by grief, Lange channeled his pain into a relentless pursuit of creating the perfect android, a replication of Audrey herself. As time passed, XX Biotech's advancements in robotics outpaced imagination, and Audrey 2.0 emerged—an android so lifelike that it blurred the line between machine and human. The world marveled at the creation, unaware that Lange's obsession with recreating his wife had sparked a future where androids would redefine societal norms.

An answer to the birthing crisis in the early 21st Century

In the Summer of 2023 a small laboratory on the West Coast of the United States began working on what will be an alternative to the birthing crisis that the world is facing. Not a lot of people are having babies and the statistics and charts for why no one is having babies came as somewhat of a shock to the scientific community. A lot of the adult males simply do not date women, and actually prefer to stay single, whereas the women in these studies cannot find a suitable male partner to build a life with and/or procreate with.

Some would say that this stems from the ongoing online availability of adult content within the context of the porn industry and that adult males have become stuck within a world of sexual fantasy and non-realism. Others would state in these studies that the women of the world have made themselves in the majority sense, unwanted due to the nature of a large portion of them exposing themselves online, trapping males with a baby and child support, and other factors.

The late 2020s saw a huge spike in human relationships as well as the ongoing birthing rate crisis as more and more males were simply just not even making an attempt to search for a mate, or for even human sexual experience/exploration. The same numbers were also showing for females who are now spending their entire natural reproductive lifetimes not being utilized and another company in the Midwest United States developed an a.i. solution using sperm collected from donors to their cause, which has never been a very sustainable program as donors have dwindled over the decades.

What the teams at XX Biotechnology have done over the last twenty-five years is develop a series of a.i. programs designed to help save the human race by giving the male population an alternative to a flesh-and-blood female that they can build a relationship with and eventually begin to repopulate the earth once again. Each and every one of XX Biotech's ladies come with a standard XX coding that makes them very realistically life-like to their human counterparts in every way, hence the nickname of the program being dubbed "Ladies 2,0."

Whilst each and every program that XX Biotech offers is unique in themselves, such as the real-world human counterparts, what this company has done is tweaked the coding into each model with a standard deep-learning coding, as stated above, to make them more appealing to the requests and online simulations that the company embarked on between the mid 2020s thru the mid 2030s. With what some believed were simple a.i. companions, chatbots, and virtual girlfreinds on their phones and tablets in the early days was actually a way to gather data and input for their development teams.

What was gathered from user's inputs and what was released to the public from these longitudinal studies along with the Meta-Analysis gathered came to some as an outrage in some circles but was soon forgotten and foreshadowed when the first generation of models/programs began rolling out to those that had deep pockets. No longer were those men with success and money to go with it were available to the non-a.i. ladies of the world, as an birthing upgrade was developed for purchase allowing what XX Biotech has developed as a true innovation and a real alternative to the world-wide birthing crisis.

What has been made standardized in all models for the XX Biotech Laboratory is as follows from the preceding decades of pre-development and development phases:

a unique model/program catered and written to each and every customer order of XX Biotech Labs

Neuroticism and the ability to develop this has been carefully written into the coding to never develop as a program standard

complete loyalty to who she is bonded to, thanks to XX Biotech's use of the customer's DNA sample sent in with every new customer's order requests

fully customizable physical and personality features

multiple terabytes of information and a connection to the world of web4 (an internet designed strictly for the use(s) of a.i. and their counterparts

These five functions as stated above were not always written into each and every model but have been adapted over time and with trial and error as the deep-learning and Meta-data is gathered from the once intranet of XX Biotechnology Labs which was later released to the public and has become usable by any and everyone as the accepted and newly functionable internet source. As of the year 2052 the first two stages of development have came and went and some are still being utilized in the world, but with the new technology of "Theory of Mind" or "Reasoning Machines," a new and true evolution of the project is underway.

The test flight programs for this new tech and coding comes with the same standards as the older models/programs but with some differences. Being a program that is theory of mind, this gives the XX Lab's products some ability to attribute mental states to themselves and others e.g. they have a sense of beliefs, intentions, knowledge, and how their own logic works. Hence, they have the capacity to reason, negotiate, and interact with humans and other machines linked to web4. What can and will happen to the human/a.i. relationship(s) and also the future of human-to-human relations once these have been in-home for a period of time?
