Sexbots, I predict, will mitigate the "people problems" of a huge number of men.

That's interesting. I would predict the exact opposite. The improvement from self-gratification to sexbot is not aimed at the deficiency that I would label "people problems."

Sufficiently wealth people already get all the sex they want to pay for. That's not evidence that the wealthy do not suffer from people problems.

Sexbots will be to people problems as candy is to hunger.

That statement I could agree with, but I think it contradicts your earlier assertion (depending a large amount on what you meant by "mitigate").
