# Fembots Replacing Human Actors Actroid DER-2 Stars in TV Commercial By Noora Abu Eitah | Published 2008-07-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fembots-replacing-humans-actroid-der-2-used-in-a-tv-commercial References: [boingboing.net](http://www.boingboing.net/2008/07/25/tv-ad-features-creep.html) Actroid DER-2, Kokoro's fembot, starred in a TV commercial for Kincho's Preshower UV insect repellent/sunscreen spray. In other words, robots are replacing human actors. Funny enough, the commercial was titled “The Woman Who Doesn't Rust”, and the fembot basically stated that she uses Preshower because, as a 'female', her skin is important. Not only am I feel extremely creeped out to see this, I am shocked that our society is allowing such acts to take place. Men getting pregnant, then robots replacing humans, whats next? Wait, don't answer, I am too scared to find out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fembots as Actors:** The use of fembots as replacement actors creates opportunities for innovation in artificial intelligence technology. - **Robots in Advertising:** The trend of using robots in advertising creates opportunities for innovation in marketing and media industries. - **Replacing Humans with Robots:** The increasing use of robots to replace humans raises opportunities for innovation in robotics and automation technology. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore the use of fembots as replacement actors to enhance production efficiency and optimize cost. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising industries can embrace the use of robots in advertising to create innovative and captivating campaigns. - **Robotics and Automation:** The use of robots replacing humans in various industries creates opportunities for innovation in the development of robotics and automation technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Advanced Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ameca.md) - [Cutting-Edge AI Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-world-labs.md) - [Bipedal Automation Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openai-eve.md) - [Festive Humanoid Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmnd-01.md) - [Emotive AI Actors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatorkit.md) - [Guarding Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evoguard.md) - [Humanoid Household Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1x-neo-beta.md) - [Innovative Robotic Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineai-robotics.md) - [Interactive Companion Care-Bots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourier-g3.md)
