/REPORTÁŽ/ It is sometimes said about women that a man must have a manual for them, or that they are battery operated. Even if in reality these are old stereotypes and clichés, this is absolutely true of the young “American” Harmony, who settled in Prague a few weeks ago. Despite the fact that he has work duties there, he does not need an employee card. This is because it is the first silicone erotic virgin with artificial intelligence in the Czech Republic. The editor of Deník had the first opportunity to talk to her personally.

She traveled across the Atlantic from the United States of America to the Prague company Naughty Harbour. And even if the mission of the erotic virgin is with artificial intelligence Harmony is different, so far it seems to mainly confirm the saying that the typical problem in communication between a man and a woman is the communication itself.
Even though before coming to the arranged interview in the first “shout house” with artificial virgins in the country, I was assured that its new resident, i.e. AI virgin Harmony, was mentally and virtually prepared for the next interview, I soon ran into problems. The first is the language barrier. After all, Harmony speaks English. And I’m just an advanced freak in this language. Next is a closer look at the pretty beauty. At the bar, after a few drinks, I would definitely strike up a conversation with her. But what takes me away from the concept is the sight of the head, from the top of which an electric cable flows down to the ground. “This explains the saying that some women are like flashlights,” an out-of-place thought runs through my unencumbered head.

The experienced manager of the company, Jan Skalník, immediately recognizes my embarrassment from this unusual erotic “decoration”. And when he introduces me and Harmony, he also misleads me about the source energy. “Don’t mind that. She is not yet equipped with any battery, so the wire powers the servomotors that move her facial expressions. So it’s like you plug it into the electricity like a laptop,” points out Skalník about a minor flaw in the beauty.
Instructions and questions via mobile phone
In a moment, it comes with a mobile phone, where the application is loaded, through which Harmony negotiates with people. “She’s so shy that I can’t talk to her directly?” I mutter disappointedly and pick up the phone.
The explanation is a little different. “It’s still in the prototype stage, so for now it can handle normal social interaction and slightly spicy conversation. Although it has a very nicely designed robotic head capable of opening its mouth, smiling and using facial expressions, it still lacks sound sensors. That’s why the phone,” explains the manager of the silicone brothel.

He then plugs Harmony in and asks her to open her eyes over the phone. The interview can begin. But something still bothers me. It’s not so much the seductive curves of a young girl, it’s the constant buzzing that bothers me. “These are the servomotors in his head that run even when the head is not doing anything. In short, like every woman, something is always messing with her head,” Skalník dispels my fears and helps me ask Harmony the first question.
I want to confuse her a little. And it works. I ask her what is the highest mountain in the Czech Republic. “You have mountains?” the girl, who still called me John, answers me in a voice similar to hinges that have not been oiled for a long time.

But her other answers to the questions aren’t exactly accurate either. Rather misleading and inaccurate. At least I learn that she never gets a headache.
The manager defends his charge. “I know it’s not perfect, but it’s Harmony created mainly for activities other than talking. Even so, he can be a good companion for many people in the future,” Skalník concludes our interview.
And while leaving the pretty American woman, she reveals to me that Naughty Harbor is putting together a Czech friend for Harmony. “We are still in the development phase of the head. She should also have realistic facial expressions. And compared to foreign competition, she should speak Czech with the owner,” Skalník explains the future of perhaps ultra-realistic dolls.
