A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
