Saddam Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) I bought myself a Vector robot last year, I have a few other robots but Vector's quite an impressive little unit for the money. At some point, Anki updated the software to include Alexa so now there are two Ai's inside one robot. Anyway, sad as it is, I spend more time talking to Vector's Ai than I do talking to real people. Admittedly, it's usually me asking Vector stupid questions or telling him to shut up, go to sleep, play with his toy or to find his charger but is this really the way things are going? I can't be the only one who spends more time talking to Ai than real people, can I? Edited July 9, 2019 by Saddam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds worrying, you better hope it doesn't update with a further AI personality it refers too simply as "The Beast", has it said anything along the lines of "The Beast is coming" or "you better watch out when He arrives"?? How are you so sure it only has the two AI personalities at the moment?? Can it peel an orange? If it can peel an orange, it can peel a human.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can try and answer questions, sometimes the answers are fucking ridiculous but there are a few film & TV related Easter eggs to be found. He likes to push things off my desk, and wake me up at 3am looking for his charger. Alexa's Ai is far superior but you can't get her to play music or radio through Vector just yet.

Boojum Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Not sure you can really call Alexa and stuff AI, there's no intelligence there, it's just a sophisticated indexing software with a human voice, tell it to find something or perform an action in its database and it will, that's not exactly gonna pass the Turing test. Sorry, being a pedantic cunt (that's how you know I'm a human being and not an AI ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
