This is astroturfed. No one was demanding they prove the robot wasn't human. It's a thing the company planned to do ahead of time, and then they've planted this story. I've seen this posted several places, but I haven't encountered anyone who was like "oh wow, I thought it was a person"
back wall falls down
if it's on site it's part of the tech demo.
much more likely to be some dude in the Philippines.
There are people with prosthetic legs. Was expecting the chest to be cut open but they just did a leg. That proves nothing.
Here's some video of one moving around with no skin whatsoever.
Why is it so hard for people to believe that this is an actual robot?
Why is it so hard for people to believe that this is an actual robot?
Because we live in an age of tech-bro grifting. The great grifter Musk had some person in a skin suit pretending to be a robot. We have all these “AI” companies selling air castles.
Anyone who isn’t skeptical is gullible.
Why would it be real? The video you’ve sent is a puppet on a string, suspended from the roof.
It's clearly not suspended from that cable. You can clearly see how much slack there is in it. This is just another example of striving to find some excuse not to believe that it's real, no matter how much of a stretch it takes to get to that conclusion.
A healthy amount of skeptism is good for people. You can't just go along everything being take at face value.
But also there are people who'll down vote content just because the content is in foreign language, people or accent.
And also there are people who think videos that existed before the AI could generate a face, are somehow AI now.
I don't know where I'm going with this. just saying internet is fucking weird and people here are even weirder. Like me
Because all of these robot tech demos tend to be very misleading
All of them? Hardly. This very demo is a counterexample.
I suspect it's more that lots of people don't want these to be actual robots.
Tend to = all of them to you?
Because all of these robot tech demos tend to be very misleading
Emphasis added.
Yes, of the set that is all robot tech demos to a crowd, the vast majority are misleading. They tend to be misleading
Most people don't understand these demos. So instead of saying that they say misleading instead.
The most convincing part for me was how clearly unprepared to be on stage the tech with the scissors was
I understand the need to wrap the mechanism to help keep it clean, but why no zippers or Velcro or something? From the perspective of a technician, cover panels should be easily removable for access, especially on a prototype. Cutting off the covering onstage seems... dramatic.
Also, um... why does it have boobs?
Are you gonna buy a household robot that you CAN'T fuck?!
Actually my robot vacuum is way better at sucking!
You know we HAD been considering getting one...
Well this isn't a prototype, it's a tech demo.
Not only does it have a full outer covering, it also has a thick underweave layer that makes it more fleshy. It has a surprising amount of corners and pinchy bits underneath - honestly sealing it completely is probably also to protect nearby humans
As for the boobs... Well, I kinda figured humanity would wait until we had a generation of useful robots before giving them boobs, but we were always going to end up here...
Also, um... why does it have boobs?
You know why. Because it makes it look more appealing.
Also, um… why does it have boobs?
because we can! The real question is: Why only ONE pair !!! I mean, it could be a huge boob that walked around on smaller boobs ! ..or boob hands with long sausage boobs (grandpa tits?) as fingers. Someone fucked up here !
OK, now cut the remote operator open
remote operator bleeds white
The video suggested that people could not believe that such innovation could come from a Chinese company... No. People are skeptical of Chinese startups because so many are scams and full of shit.
Innovation can come from anywhere. A tech demo where they faked "people not believing it's a robot" doesn't help to reduce that well-earned reputation.
This video shows absolutely nothing.
They've got the movement down, but so far robots in general are remotely operated for household chores besides just picking up stuff.
Real or not it's comical to see wankies seething over this. But, if it was Apple telling you nothing much but "the best iPhone yet", they'll defend every god damn criticism of it like their identity depends on it.
Fight on about who's more gullible, I guess.
