A German feminist made a movie where an unmarried 40-something professor spends a month testing a Dan Stevens Husbandbot to secure a grant for her university
I really don't know what to make of the authorial intent because the movie seemed to underline that he was actually perfect, and that itself was the problem. They gloss over other common genre issues like sentience or slavery to focus in on the fact that he was basically a demigod with no personality flaws who absolutely never stops being caring and selfless, and this was a bad thing somehow because humans should be in relationships with other humans who are occasionally vindictive selfish assholes for no reason
The bit that sticks in my head is at one point she punctuates an angry fit with "You don't even argue with me!" and his response is that he'll argue with her more often if that'd make her happy
