Bots are set to replace bored housewives manning adult phone lines.
Experts reckon AI intelligence can be trained to replicate humans on the steamy 1.50-a-minute chats.
That is going to wipe out the chatline business for thousands of moaning mums, groaning grans and silky-voiced students who rake in up to 2,000-a-month from the cheeky calls.
Companies can make millions by axing human workers for raunchy robots who can talk non-stop for hours and cost nothing after start-up.

Tech expert Paul Armstrong, of the TBD Group, said: "Theres no doubt that AI bots could be trained to run sex lines.
"You would need a digital clone of a human voice which could then strike up a conversation.
"It would save hours of effort from doing it live and the people running these phone lines could save a fortune. Developers are already doing lots of things that equally intrigue and terrify people."
Bots are already revolutionising adult entertainment with the emergence of sex robots and virtual reality headsets offering folk "immersive girlfriend experiences".
Chatline firms now plan to swap humans for bots with bosses rumbling they can use artificial intelligence to deploy the worlds sexiest voices on every call.
Lucy Smith, of Inclusive Change which helps businesses adapt to the future, said only the best human chatline operators may survive.
"AI will take some of the jobs online, she said.
"It is going to be so much cheaper to use an AI bot than paying a human to answer that call to talk dirty.
"The adult industry isnt a charity - its a business and one that makes a great deal of money.
"Real people may well become a higher value interaction. People could pay premium for a 'real life experience'.
"If I was an entrepreneur in that industry I would be looking at ways I can make a premium out of real people."
Belle, a 40-year-old mum-of-two from Leeds who flogs calls for 1.99-a-minute online, predicted bots would fail to rise to the occasion.
"A robot might be able to learn the language but Im not sure it handle some of the strange requests I get thrown, she said. "Could a robot master all the moans and groans?"
Even ChatGPT doubted it could pull it off. Asked if a bot could man a chatline it replied: "While AI technology has advanced significantly there are still limitations to its ability to fully replace humans in certain roles, especially those that involve complex emotional and interpersonal interactions."
It said chatlines "typically involve intimate and personalised conversations that require empathy, emotional understanding, and nuanced communication skills, which current AI systems may struggle to replicate convincingly."
