I, for one…
This…isn’t how the current paradigm of ai works at all. We’ve built glorified auto-complete bots, not something that can make a physical robot behave at a human level. Best case, they build something that can carry on a conversation long enough to excite a tech journalist and aimlessly meander like the Boston dynamic bots but without the pre-programmed tasking (assuming they don’t cheat and add canned routines).
So that leaves one option: it’s a moonshot project to convince the tech illiterate public to take them and their stock price to the moon long enough for a few people to make an obscene amount of money.
Neural networks have learned to play video games so maybe a neural network in a robot body could learn to act human. If it didn’t harm itself or others, that’s the tricky part.
once again, the richest people during any gold rush are shovel salesmen
Which human? This could be a really easy project if you pick the right dumbass.
Will it get to see it’s own reflection?
