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

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.

[-] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

And then there's the ludicrously massive breasts...

And then there’s the ludicrously massive breasts…

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

That interview was so bad. That bot is worse than Ricky Bobby.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago

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.

Oh Jesus. As this tech gets good enough, eventually people will start falling in love with the damned things. It's inevitable. And eventually they'll want to make it socially acceptable to take their fuck-robots out in public. They'll want to marry the things. They'll be trying to piggyback off the gay and trans rights movements. Everyone will be like, "dude, that is clearly a robot. I can show you the code. There's nobody looking back from behind those plastic eyes." And they'll be like, "no! You just don't understand our love, I know she's real!"

We are so incredibly fucked.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] MrSelatcia@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Now you can literally fuck ai.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] MrSelatcia@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

That enormous rack is there for a reason.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Oh believe me, I'm aware. I know exactly who goes to CES. The booth babes are there for a reason too.

[-] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Batteries, right?

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 5 points 4 months ago

Doesn't look convincing at all...

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Hence my being slightly less worried. But only slightly.

[-] iamericandre@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

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

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 4 points 4 months ago

When it talks with its hands it looks like it’s trying to cast a spell.

[-] recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago

Sexbots

I have to wonder if the future will eventually repeat the history of Un-Go's RAI

Flashbacks to that wild weekend in Stepford….

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Based on the proportions they must have just used a mold from an existing Realdoll. Wait, Realbotics is the company name, I don’t think we have to make much of a leap of faith what it’s used for and it ain’t hospitals

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

The robot had a pretty canned response when the interviewer asked the same question slightly differently, like, three times. And it very clearly stated “intimacy” each time.
