This AI robot gives a whole new meaning to “uncanny valley.” See it in person at CES if you dare.

    Didn’t even watch the video and I know that dude has tried to fuck this robot

  • I’ve never been worried about AI. AI isn’t a problem because it doesn’t exist. (Hint: you can’t make an artificial version of something you can’t even define in ways that are broadly accepted.)

    What I’ve always been worried about is the people pushing “AI”. They’re the source of all the trouble.

    And of course it’s a white, blonde lady.

      With novelty-sized breasts.

      Seriously. Someone, or probably a team of someones, built that and are proud of it.

      The stereotype runs even deeper than that: she looks and talks dumb like a jocular blonde.
      Perhaps it’s on purpose, to make everybody forget the simulacrum just isn’t very good.

        She even flips her hair. In a really stupid and slow way.

        And then there’s the ludicrously massive breasts…

          Well, look at the bright side: at least this one can’t get a puncture.

        And the guy was really obviously trying to keep a straight face while doing what he was told and praising it.

    “Theme parks.” Uh huh. I’m sure Disney is going to want a bunch of animatronic RealDolls walking around Main Street USA.

      Not even walking! He talks about how they won’t put working legs on them because even they’re aware of how creepy that is.

      Fairly certain Disney has the capability of doing their own AI robots in house and making these look like a high school science fair project.

    “Designed specifically for companionship and intimacy”

    Gee, I wonder who the target audience is. That thing is creepy as hell.

      Imho it felt more like: “Designed specifically for companionship… and intimacy”. The unlisted job requirement. Someone definitely tried to fuck it during r&d

    The worrying part is that it’s bad though. Capitalists will destroy the working class’ ability to work and get information with a broken tool. That is scary AF, homeskillet.

      I’m much more worried about that with what OpenAI is doing with voices, which this thing isn’t even close to. And I can’t see anyone finding an intimate, emotional connection with that robot like the creators seem to think they will.

      Get a Kagi sub. 5 bux a month (10 for unlimited searches) and you get a company that wants to help you find stuff instead of trying to sell you whatever their advertisers paid them to stuff in your face, and LLM slop that they push because they’re afraid they’ll get left behind by the latest trend.

      It’s refreshing, a search company that works for me. I’m the customer, so they put development hours towards making the experience better for us - not their advertisers.

          I looked at the guys history. I don’t see him advertising anywhere. This particular comment doesn’t look like an ad so much as it does him trying to tell other people what to do about their problems.

          Personally, I’m not a fan of telling others what to do, but also this isn’t the ad that you’re trying to report him for.

      Hence my being slightly less worried. But only slightly.

      I don’t know, the company was smart enough to realize that putting zombie legs on the robot was a bad idea, so they might not have added the vagina option yet.
