Hearing strange sounds coming from his bedroom for the last ten minutes, mom confronts son as he emerges, hot and sweaty with knots and bruises on his face and upper body.
"It's not what you think," says the embarrassed teen.

AI replaces the abusive father?
Is no job safe from automation?

Hey, this would be the perfect tool for the 21st century automated dungeon.
The poor sap who pays $100 an hour to be humiliated by Mistress Zeka, would insead find himself naked, handcuffed, ball-gagged and beaten like a red headed step child, while Mistress Zeka sits on the sidelines painting her nails.

Maybe it could be adapted to suddenly jam one of the hoses up your nose in between "punches" to secure a mucus sample for COVID evaluation.
Two birds, one stone, right?.

Ummm...gloves up, son.
Anyone that trains with this device and then gets into a real ring with someone that knows how to box will be served up for lunch.
Sort of like training for a marathon on a treadmill. You will get your ass kicked by the street.

Kind of what I was thinking, this is maybe a bit more of just a cardio workout that is based on fighting rather than actually learning how to fight. Unless you can up the speed/force of that machine, and if so, that’s the video I need to watch. |

I don't need to get beat up by a machine ...
Family, and friends, and the general population do a great job...

Mr. Squeaky the slapping machine. Pretty useless and highly annoying in my opinion. (maybe that's why the guy keeps punching it)

Real world satire. Regarding the wide swings and what, kitty strikes(?), the machine would hook you up for a girlie fight at best. 🙂
And as usual Peegoo is right, first minute in the ring with only prepping like that and the guy would drop.

I'm not a distance runner nor have I ever been, but what's the issue with training for a marathon on a treadmill. My dad ran multiple marathons after I was a way at college and I think he did a significant amount of running on a treadmill back then. |

Attach some whips and you could market it to religious types as a self-flagellation device.

I feel like training for a marathon involves both the physical aspect and building up your wind, I would assume a treadmill can do both. Assuming you are running distance on a treadmill, of course, if you're walking for 30 minutes a day, that's not gonna get you ready. |

I suppose the natural progression of this will be when it is absorbed into VR.
There you are in your all-encompassing VR headset, fighting a mixed martial arts battle in your living room.
Only now, the virtual opponent is actually punching and kicking you. (You would be tethered to the device that follows you around the room)
"You should have seen the other guy," will no longer be a valid defense for the condition of your face, since your virtual opponent just deletes all its own damage.

Kind of reminds me of that eBay auction several years ago wherein bidders were vying to have the seller come to their house to kick their ass. The auction description stipulated that the winning bidder had to pay for a ticket to fly the seller in and then pick him up at the airport.
