“My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots.”

Humans tire of their robot mates almost three times faster than robots tire of humans.

1. The key reasons cited by humans for dissatisfaction with robots are:
• “That infernal humming.”
• Stench of overheated or burning electrical wires, especially during lovemaking.
• Robots can’t go in the water, limiting family vacation options.
• Simple maintenance regimen among robots (software upgrades, frequent oil changes) spawns corrosive resentment in flesh-and-blood partners.
• Robots refuse to perform household chores, citing “degrading leftover stereotypes dating back to crude 2010-era robot clichés.”

2. Robots disenchanted with human spouses list three primary causes:
• Human minds comparatively slow and sluggish, with limited memory and frequent lapses; need to use pen/pencil even for simple E=mc2 calculations.
• The human need to eat and sleep creates “hopeless” scheduling incompatibilities.
• Snoring.
