Great, then it will starts actually making pizzas filled with glue
AI (or at least the algorithm shit we're calling 'AI' that isn't intelligence, artificial or otherwise) getting a robot body is just installing a program onto a computer with moving parts. ...not really anything new or exciting about this.
Yea that's what I'm thinking too
So Boston Dynamics but humanoid and with an LLM?
I'm still not convinced LLMs are even the correct path to true AI. I do not understand how it's going to control a robotic body since it's had no experience of physical existence in its training data.
Does it even comprehend the ramifications of gravity, object permanence, time, or anything other concept that an organism gathers naturally by living in a physical reality?
Programs have "learned" how to play games without instruction — most recently with rat neurons playing Doom — and that's what they'll attempt to do with LLM's. It must learn from feedback, experience and interaction as we could never code something that complex.
I don't believe LLM's can achieve general AI, but humans are just organic pattern recognition devices at the end of the day — a brain in an organic machine that can sense a fraction of the world around us.
The problem is that LLM's are dumb, thus dangerous when given autonomy, they'll be used to wage war, and the military industrial complex is more likely to destroy us with autonomous LLM killbots than achieve general AI.
Article says they are using a number of AI technologies stitched together with regular programming, so object recognition, language, etc.
BD's Atlas is a humanoid too
Good read. Sad ending that all that work ended up nowhere.
its a no brainer.
