Meet Sophia, World's First AI Humanoid Robot

12 posts in this topic

I am not really sure where to put this topic, but I think it kind of fits the "Self-Actualization"-Category since this is one of the most used ones. If not feel free to move it to the appropriate category.

Does anybody has more insight into the topic of AI, robotics and the fusion of both of them to humanoid robots?
This thing right here made my eyes wide. I am aware of that AI is already able to compete and beat men in games like chess or Go as well as computer games like Starcraft2 or Dota2, but this seems to be on a different level.

How likely is it that this conversation was staged in the sense that the overall questions were known in the forehand?
I don´t know, but it feels so outlandish, because these answers felt kind of natural and spontaneous.
Does anybody have at least some insight into how real and legit this conversation is?

If this is the current standard of the AI and Humanoid development, then these advancements are reaaallly impressive.

It works pretty much the same way as Siri, so it's not very sophisticated.

"When Sophia is talking to Fallon or the United Nations, it’s really being handed the lines. It might determine when it’s the right time to say something, but those pithy one-liners aren’t from the robot."

There's no way she is actually thinking up those answers spontaneously and originally. She's got to be pulling those lines from a database that some human wrote. She probably just has a massive database of thousands of responses. Or she could even be googling keywords on the fly.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

yes probably quoting some of the most intelligent people who actually live - without saying its quotes, is that even legitimate? or disownment?

robots as thought and idea harvesters - your body is not even part of the show because you become the machine who feeds the robot so someone else can have all your lifes thoughts emotions on the side, that’s a waste product.

visualized epitome of data harvesting.

I heard somewhere that in the future robots will be evolving the capacity to think by themselves....

Sounds like a great tool for research if the AI gets sophisticated enough

"Sophia, find a scientific paper that states "Donkeys are not mules" and cite the reference"

I could have done my thesis in a week :D

Isn't that basically how Alexa works?

"Alexa, find me some of that porn you know I like."

Alexa: "You sick bastard!"

You need that AI to be obedient tho B|

I dont know about an AI that works like human, but one that could simulate research work like a human would be amazing. That would basically be Google 2.0.

Like, just write down a statement and the system would find research opposing or in favor of said statement and make references to those research papers. Then you read them yourself to make sure the sources are good.

Probably wont happen for years

If you just want google to say if a research paper is in favor or against the search term, I don't think that's a lot of work.

If you do research 6-8 hours a day, even 5% reduction in research time is huge. If the AI could do the initial scan before handing the papers to you for further investigation, that would be huge help. Its like delegating that job to a secretary.

Seems like I got a bit carried away haha. I didn't really think about this easy possibility.xD

But I have one question: At which point can you draw the line that this AI is thinking independently or just pulling from a huge database?
Doesn't our human mind work in a very similar fashion? Aren't we just pulling from a huge database as well, only with the limitation that we are only able to access a small portion of this database at once?
Isn't this the reason why it is crucial to watch one's own information intake since our mind works like an incubation chamber for ideas, which constantly recombines gathered data?
