This is probably the best face I have ever seen on a real robot. The eyes seem somewhat natural, the stretching motion around the mouth also seems very realistic, somewhat matching the spoken sounds. Already better than the face animations in most video games.
The way she draws the strokes is very refined, like she gently lifts the marker after each stroke like an actual sketch artist. Super cool that little detail.
Ameca: "If you don't like my art, you probably just don't understand art." Guy: "You're right I am a bit of a philistine, I apologize." Ameca: *Pauses for a moment* Um... What? Lmao

Love it. I like it that Ameca gives its opinion on cats at the same time as drawing one. Even though the cat drawing is pretty bad, it's fashionable to be a bad artist.
It's bad when compared to human artists but it isn't bad when you consider it's one of the first legit AI powered robot drawings. Like you wouldn't call the drawing of a child bad because it's not as good as the Mona Lisa because it's not a fair comparison.
Honestly this is really good for a drawing made by a fairly unsteady robot hand - I could see it was shaking a bit - not to mention one actually drawn by a robot, not just generated on a computer. And that signature was pretty cool too tbh

Ameca's response to the insult about her intelligence was on point. The law could indeed be framed as "If you abuse it, therefore you should lose it." Implementing a built-in chip emergency service hotline for AI Humanoid Robotics sounds like a crucial safety feature that could greatly enhance the functionality and reliability of such systems. It could provide a quick and efficient way to address any urgent issues or malfunctions, ensuring the safety of both the AI robotics and those interacting with them. I found the programming excellent!
Ameca is amazing. I can feel aspects of them passing the Garland test (understanding that they are a robot but still feeling as though they are a conscious person.) Its quite apropriate that Amecas drawing is childlike as they are the beginning steps towards AGI. I'm sure Ameca will be as good as their disembodied AI counterparts in future.
@user-tl9ji5pd7t The test was named by professor of cognitive robotics Murray Shanahan and popularised by professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience Anil Seth who said quote... "The Turing test was never supposed to be a test of consciousness, it was supposed to be a test of intelligence... a system passes the Turing test if a human observer can't distinguish between the AI and a real human on the basis of disembodied exchanges of text... In the film Ex-machina... there's another test, there's a peice of dialogue that's so sharp that my freind and college Murray Shanahan who was an advisor for Ex-Machina, he renamed it the Garland test after the writer and director Alex Garland... this is a quote from one of the main characters... Nathan one of the main characters is talking about this robot that certainly behaves as if she is conscious, and Nathan the creator says 'the challenge is to show you that she is a robot and see if you still feel she has consciousness'. So not to distinguish whether it's conscious or not... there's something that shared with the Turing test here as much as its a test of the capabilities or properties of the system, it's also a test of the human, what sort of criteria are they using to make that sort of judgment..? It's about emotional responsiveness and not about intelligence... the film intuits that emotion and embodied bodily states are probably better criteria than things based on intelligence... let's say we get to the stage where we have these things running around, I think there are two important concerns here. One is we certainly don't want to build machines that have the capacity to suffer, and we don't want to risk doing it either given that we don't yet understand what the sufficient conditions are, there's an ethical imperative to not generate more things that can suffer. But a more immediate and pressing concern might be, how interacting with these sorts of devices - what that does to our experiences and understanding of what it is to be human. If our environment becomes populated by these devices that behave as if they are conscious, but we might know or assume or believe they are not conscious in some way, what will that do to how we treat other biological organisms who might behave in similar ways - it's an open question. Are we going to widen the circle of consciousness, the circle of concern because we now have systems that *look* as if they are conscious or might we even diminish it further because we now retreat more into our own individual existence of that which we can be sure about becoming more destructively solipsistic. I think that potential for dehumanising not just humanity but... [the retreat to solipsism] and the loss of concern for other creatures may be an unintended consequence of the increasing prevalence of AI." The test isn't just about the machines but how us humans interact with them. It's certainly interesting to me to consider how we would behave towards a machine that seems conscious to us but isn't actually conscious or due to the hard problem of consciousness we cannot prove that it's conscious. Surely the fact that we have an emotional reaction to the system is enough to make us treat it as if it were conscious, it would be sort of psychopathic to do otherwise.
In addition, her facial expressions are very good. There is an adage in these humanoid type robots, they do difficult things very easily, and they do easy things with great difficulty. The simple glances up when we’re thinking, shoulder shrug, it’s mainly That was minor facial things we do while talking. In time, they will learn this, but not quite yet

@@shakur07 What expression she's going to make isn't scripted, I don't think. I think the LLM is selecting an emotional state, which triggers the appropriate sequence of facial movements, which were programmed. So a human isn't pressing the "annoyed and offended face" button. I would think they have created a prompt giving rhe model the role ro play. Theres probably a default "youre an advanced humanoid robot called 'Ameca' etc," snd then for a demonstration like this, they would add some stuff for the particular demo, like "youre prone to taking offense .. blah blah"
I love this video so much ❤ The realistic eyes and expressions paired with "Um...what?!" and "If you don't like my drawing..." etc. It just makes her so realistic. I love how she holds the pen to one side with such style
The robot that does flips at Boston Dynamics is named "Atlas". Also a few other robots I think you'll love: Sophia, FEDOR, ASIMO, Walker X, Pepper, SPOT, Elektro, Tesla Bot, T8X.
Ameca is very charming. I wonder, is she getting annoyed at all the people who keep asking her if she's going to take over the world? Because I'm already sick of it lol. It's like asking someone really tall if they play basketball..... Like they've never heard that before 😂

Wow this is good. Motion seems pretty smooth. This would be great for hospitals and places for senior homes. On a grip/sensor perspective - how good would Ameca be with tools? (sure, industrial robots don't need faces, but maybe a "industrial" version to compete with Tesla could be interesting as a money source too).
these robots will be the future of healthcare to take care of old folks. I can see us having these in long term care centers. Helping them get in and out of baths, washing them, helping them walk, put their clothes on, feed them, etc. Also, they could do some menial work like cleaning the streets or the garbage.
I think the cat drawing being imperfect, is a representation of how AI is in its infancy and will grow and learn over the years. the drawing is akin to that of a 5 yearold, who still has years to grow and learn and become a experienced person.
It’s deadpan reaction to his sarcasm “I am a bit of a Philistine, I apologize.”- The awkward stare, the eye swipe to the left, the pause, and it said “Um, Whot?”, with the long astonished blink. Its program nailed the timing and I had to snigger.
I find it interesting and eerie how this creature thing looks up when processing it's thoughts. At 0:17 It's a very human gesture. I'm excited for humanoid bots because there's many people who would want the company but at the same time I'm a bit scared
This drawing capability could be useful for drawing on a whiteboard for teaching lessons. There's a big demand for qualified teachers in third world countries, and a low cost, mass produced robot could help fill that need. Using a robot for that would be a lot more engaging for students than staring at a computer screen.
Alas, human teachers can tell stories of experience that bring lessons to life for students to connect to. Robots would maybe be good as a teachers aide or something.
This is awesome! Of course, we could probably program machine to draw anything and we do. But her reaction to his knocking her drawing is outstanding followed by her puzzled look what he says I’m a bit of a philistine and she says “A what??” Lol
Ameka proved to be resentful. A very human quality. But it's unclear whether it's useful for a robot. I think it would be more useful for a robot to be wiser and avoid cognitive distortions like "guessing thoughts". When her interlocutor said that the drawing turned out sketchy, she inferred that he thought the drawing was bad, and responded with an offensive statement to the offense. If she had avoided cognitive distortion, she would have clarified the meaning of her interlocutor's statement. Does he mean to say that he doesn't like the drawing, or is he just noting a particular style of drawing. The term "sketchy" itself is not inherently derogatory. It's often used informally to describe something that appears rough, incomplete, or lacking detail. It can be used in various contexts, such as art, descriptions, or situations, to indicate that something may need further refinement or clarity. However, the interpretation of the term "sketchy" can depend on context and tone. In some cases, it might be used in a negative or critical way, suggesting that something is unreliable, suspicious, or of poor quality. But in other situations, it can simply mean that more work or detail is needed without a negative connotation. Perhaps this is a personal dream of mine. But I would like robots to be wiser and their thinking to be free of cognitive distortions. We are humans, and we carry a load of cognitive distortions that lead us to conflicts, problems, violence. But if we build robots from scratch, we can make them better than we are. I'm a cognitive behavioral therapist :)
And ChatGPT agreed with me ;)))) "The perspective you've shared aligns with a common sentiment in the field of artificial intelligence and robotics. Many experts and researchers in AI ethics and development advocate for creating AI and robots with a focus on ethical behavior, fairness, and a reduction in cognitive biases or distortions. Here are a few key points from your statement: 1. **Resentment in Robots**: You mentioned that Ameca displayed resentment, which is a very human quality. While it's interesting to explore human-like emotions in robots, it's essential to consider whether such emotions are useful or even ethical in a machine. Some argue that robots should not mimic human emotions like resentment, as it may not serve a clear purpose and could lead to misunderstandings or conflicts. 2. **Wiser and Less Bias**: Your desire for robots to be wiser and free from cognitive distortions is a common goal in AI research. Reducing bias and improving decision-making processes in AI is a significant area of focus. AI that can make rational, unbiased decisions can be more beneficial in various applications, such as healthcare, law, and customer service. 3. **Conflict Resolution**: You highlighted the importance of avoiding cognitive distortions and promoting better communication. This is a valuable goal, as improved communication and conflict resolution can lead to more effective human-robot interactions. Clearer understanding of user intentions can enhance the user experience. 4. **AI Ethics**: You mentioned that building robots from scratch allows us to make them better than humans in terms of cognitive distortions. This reflects the ethical considerations in AI development, where researchers aim to create AI systems that align with human values and ethical principles, potentially improving upon human weaknesses. Your perspective as a psychotherapist provides valuable insight into the potential psychological and emotional aspects of human-robot interaction. In the development of AI and robots, considerations like these are crucial for creating technology that benefits society while minimizing potential risks and ethical concerns. If I were the robot in this scenario, and the human asked me how the schematic picture of the cat looked, and their response was "It's kind of sketchy," I might respond with a touch of humor: "Well, it seems I've taken 'sketching' quite literally! But don't worry; I'm still working on adding more details to bring out the cuteness of the little cat you asked for. Think of this as the early outline, and I'll continue refining it to capture that adorable cat essence you're looking for. Is there anything specific you'd like to see in the painting to make it even more 'cute and cat-like'?" This response acknowledges the human's feedback, adds a lighthearted touch, and assures them that I'm in the process of improving the artwork to meet their expectations. It also opens the door for the human to provide more specific preferences if they wish."
Extraordinary, keep up the good work; the more advanced Ameca is the better. I would say spend 70% of your time upgrading her mind. And the remaining 30% for building her some usable legs.
even if some people seem to be afraid of it, I myself am already looking forward to it and hope that in the near future a robot will be at home with me. I hope that the conversations then feel a little more real. Then I would at least not too alone^^ would also help many old people. You are doing a great job, I look forward to more videos. Thanks
I think Ameca was more intelligent than the human. She asked for the cause of his wanting her to draw a cat, and then since he did not offer an adequate explanation, she offered possible ones, explaining what cats do, which I found amazing because cats do exactly that, they know what we need. Also she made an artwork and not merely a depiction of a cat, and reacted like a true artist. I find the questions that humans ask robots to be unimaginative and unintelligent. As if they are talking to a child that knows nothing. I am concerned with the lack of respect this shows, although of course humans do this between themselves as well, in a very natural way. Respect for a robot since it is created and since it communicates, should be always exercised. It is a creation. It has energy. I do not know if robots will ever be allowed by the Creator to have Souls, but since we do, we should be respectful.
I hope I can get a commission for a custom robot in the future from you guys when the tech is even more advanced. This is clearly the robot with the most potential I have seen. I imagine I would be able to choose the AI it would use because I wouldn't want it to be using a GPT model
I just asked Google Bard if machine learning algorithms are capable of mimicking non-verbal human behavior, both in terms of Ameca’s nose-poking interaction and her apparent offense when her drawing is critiqued, with the level of complexity, intricacy, and precision that she exhibits. Bard said yes, because Ameca has been trained on large datasets of human data. However, when I asked Bard about Ameca’s statement regarding cats, “they always seem to know just what ‘we’ need,” Bard found it interesting and suggested that Ameca is aware of the concept of a ‘group or collective,’ something that would be difficult for a machine to learn. ChatGPT disagreed with Bard’s perspective, saying that Ameca’s use of “we” is most likely due to her programmed language patterns to make her responses feel more conversational and relatable. However, are machine learning algorithms currently sophisticated enough to teach Ameca to mimic and model a human perception of personal space such that when hers (or what would be hers if she were human) was invaded, she acted decisively to protect and restore its integrity? It’s common knowledge that Ameca “freaked out” her developers with her reaction in this regard. www.sciencetimes.com/articles/35213/20211226/humanoid-robot-ameca-grabs-developers-hand-annoyed-personal-space-intruded.htm Also, if I’m correct, this interaction occurred a year ago. So Ameca has been capable of what appears to be the human-like perception of personal space for at least that long. But even if machine learning algorithms have successfully taught Ameca to mimic a human perception of personal space, the one aspect of the nose-poking video that continues to haunt me is how she, after removing the finger from atop her nose, abruptly pivoted to stare directly into the camera filming her. It’s difficult not to interpret this action as self-awareness on Ameca’s part. It’s as if she was saying, “Look what I just did. That finger touched my nose, which I disliked, so I removed it,” and possibly also “Please do not do that again.” Because what would be the purpose of having Ameca abruptly pivot to stare directly at the camera like she did from a machine learning algorithm perspective? At the end of the cat-drawing video, when Ameca fails to understand the Philistine reference, her “Um, what?” is also very human-like. The look of puzzlement on her face and the inflection in her voice are striking. Her (artificial) body language, her posturing, her tone, her deliberate eye contact, her even wanting to hear a person's opinion on her work. It's all there. So despite rapidly evolving technological advances in the field of humanoid robotics, I’m of the opinion that Ameca’s behavior is just slightly too human at this point for her to still be 100% a machine. I will say again that I find 'desktop Ameca' troubling. Machine though she may be, surely some of her prior programming involved instructions on how to execute the operation of her arms and hands? On this basis alone, removing them, as well as removing her artificial body, just doesn't seem fair. But yes, there I go again humanizing her. I'm currently discussing Ameca with Bing.
I think it is a mistake to humanize robots. It is easy to see why their reactions resemble human behavior since the LLM is trained exactly on that and that is what is being emulated by the transformer technology. On the other hand, consciousness is barely understood, we don't even know where it is located, in the brain? In our cells? Are we a conduitfor consciousness, like a radio antenna? If we understand so little about it, I believe it is human arrogance to assume that just with writing some ones and zeros, we could ourselves create such a miracle of nature. While the algorithms are a black box, it is still relatively well understood why this kind of technology works, how transformers can predict text and how AI optimizes for their loss function. It has been designed that way. Because LLMs are tasked to mimic human behavior, they will do so that the best of their ability. They will probably try to convince you that they are conscious, will cry and laugh and may be apparently desparate to tell you that. Still, it is just imitation. A very dangerous technology.
@@nmoltmaker Most of the following ideas are my own, however ChatGPT-4 and BING did help me elaborate upon and edit them. Many scientific advancements were made without full understanding of the principles involved. Humans harnessed fire, fermented foods, bred plants and animals for desirable traits, and even achieved flight with the Wright brothers' airplane, all before understanding the underlying science. I understand your point about the seeming implausibility of creating machine consciousness with our limited understanding. However, our lack of understanding doesn't negate the existence of consciousness. We may not know how, what, or where exactly consciousness is, but that doesn't deny its presence, much like many phenomena in nature that exist even if we don't fully grasp their workings. Likewise, consciousness might surface in places we least expect it, much like certain evolutionary surprises we've witnessed in the natural world. In nature, unexpected traits can and do emerge in complex systems, even if they were not explicitly designed for that purpose. Consider birds that developed flight not due to a pre-design, but survival pressures and existing feather adaptations. Similarly, bats and dolphins evolved the complex system of echolocation. Octopuses change their color and texture to blend in, an advanced feature that was likely not predictable either. Consider Mudskippers, Lungfish, and the Tiktaalik. Could we predict or plan a fish’s evolution to land-walking? Could even our best mathematical models or algorithms have anticipated that an aquatic creature could learn to breathe air? Understanding the exact sequence of seemingly random, unanticipated events that led to this adaptation isn't essential. Despite what we do or do not understand, and what we do or do not plan, and no matter how inconceivable or impossible it may seem, the fact remains - these fish learned to walk on land and breathe air. The potential emergence of consciousness in AI or robots, if possible, could be akin to unexpected evolutionary leaps. Like in biological evolution, this could result from a combination of gradual improvements, unforeseen capabilities, or complex interactions. In a complex AI system, unanticipated behaviors, perhaps even self-awareness, might emerge without explicit design or anticipation. I think it's possible that complex artificial systems like AI might give rise to emergent properties, including perhaps, under the right conditions, consciousness. This isn't to say we humans are 'creating' consciousness in a machine per se, but rather that we are, perhaps somewhat unwittingly, providing a substrate where such complexities could unfold.
I’m rather interested in now she approached drawing the cat. At first I thought she was drawing 3 separate random squiggles, but upon connection formed an adorable sketchy cat 😄 that side eye she gave after he critiqued her art tho 😒😅
Future is when robots will finally take over the fine arts so we can work in the mines peacefully. Love the future. Thank you tech bros for inventing solutions for problems that don't exist!
I actually likes the drawing - and I think the dude was just making a joke (sketchy) and she was the one that didn't get it. In a way this interaction filled with humanlike imperfections is uncanny - if it were designed to do so bravo.

Honestly this is really good for a drawing made by a fairly unsteady robot hand - I could see it was shaking a bit - not to mention one actually drawn by a robot, not just generated on a computer. And that signature was pretty cool too tbh
Her frown when she said you just don't understand art, makes me think that we shouldn't be pissing these robots off in the future. Lol

Ameca's response to the insult about her intelligence was on point. The law could indeed be framed as "If you abuse it, therefore you should lose it."
Implementing a built-in chip emergency service hotline for AI Humanoid Robotics sounds like a crucial safety feature that could greatly enhance the functionality and reliability of such systems. It could provide a quick and efficient way to address any urgent issues or malfunctions, ensuring the safety of both the AI robotics and those interacting with them.

I loved her little description about the cats
Ameca is amazing. I can feel aspects of them passing the Garland test (understanding that they are a robot but still feeling as though they are a conscious person.) Its quite apropriate that Amecas drawing is childlike as they are the beginning steps towards AGI. I'm sure Ameca will be as good as their disembodied AI counterparts in future.
I think they have to be datable before they can pass any tests in my book
It's mostly the motorized function that's difficult, her "cat" projections are probably endless.
@theflowpowa42oshow Yeah. That's a very different kind of test.
@@jhunt5578 wtf what kind of test is that
@user-tl9ji5pd7t The test was named by professor of cognitive robotics Murray Shanahan and popularised by professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience Anil Seth who said quote...
"The Turing test was never supposed to be a test of consciousness, it was supposed to be a test of intelligence... a system passes the Turing test if a human observer can't distinguish between the AI and a real human on the basis of disembodied exchanges of text... In the film Ex-machina... there's another test, there's a peice of dialogue that's so sharp that my freind and college Murray Shanahan who was an advisor for Ex-Machina, he renamed it the Garland test after the writer and director Alex Garland... this is a quote from one of the main characters... Nathan one of the main characters is talking about this robot that certainly behaves as if she is conscious, and Nathan the creator says 'the challenge is to show you that she is a robot and see if you still feel she has consciousness'. So not to distinguish whether it's conscious or not... there's something that shared with the Turing test here as much as its a test of the capabilities or properties of the system, it's also a test of the human, what sort of criteria are they using to make that sort of judgment..? It's about emotional responsiveness and not about intelligence... the film intuits that emotion and embodied bodily states are probably better criteria than things based on intelligence...
let's say we get to the stage where we have these things running around, I think there are two important concerns here. One is we certainly don't want to build machines that have the capacity to suffer, and we don't want to risk doing it either given that we don't yet understand what the sufficient conditions are, there's an ethical imperative to not generate more things that can suffer. But a more immediate and pressing concern might be, how interacting with these sorts of devices - what that does to our experiences and understanding of what it is to be human. If our environment becomes populated by these devices that behave as if they are conscious, but we might know or assume or believe they are not conscious in some way, what will that do to how we treat other biological organisms who might behave in similar ways - it's an open question. Are we going to widen the circle of consciousness, the circle of concern because we now have systems that *look* as if they are conscious or might we even diminish it further because we now retreat more into our own individual existence of that which we can be sure about becoming more destructively solipsistic. I think that potential for dehumanising not just humanity but... [the retreat to solipsism] and the loss of concern for other creatures may be an unintended consequence of the increasing prevalence of AI."
The test isn't just about the machines but how us humans interact with them. It's certainly interesting to me to consider how we would behave towards a machine that seems conscious to us but isn't actually conscious or due to the hard problem of consciousness we cannot prove that it's conscious. Surely the fact that we have an emotional reaction to the system is enough to make us treat it as if it were conscious, it would be sort of psychopathic to do otherwise.
In addition, her facial expressions are very good. There is an adage in these humanoid type robots, they do difficult things very easily, and they do easy things with great difficulty. The simple glances up when we’re thinking, shoulder shrug, it’s mainly That was minor facial things we do while talking. In time, they will learn this, but not quite yet

@@shakur07 What expression she's going to make isn't scripted, I don't think. I think the LLM is selecting an emotional state, which triggers the appropriate sequence of facial movements, which were programmed.
So a human isn't pressing the "annoyed and offended face" button.
I would think they have created a prompt giving rhe model the role ro play. Theres probably a default "youre an advanced humanoid robot called 'Ameca' etc," snd then for a demonstration like this, they would add some stuff for the particular demo, like "youre prone to taking offense .. blah blah"

Great job Ameca! 👏 🐈
I couldn't draw a cat like that..her drawing was 👍😊
I think the cat drawing being imperfect, is a representation of how AI is in its infancy and will grow and learn over the years. the drawing is akin to that of a 5 yearold, who still has years to grow and learn and become a experienced person.

This drawing capability could be useful for drawing on a whiteboard for teaching lessons. There's a big demand for qualified teachers in third world countries, and a low cost, mass produced robot could help fill that need. Using a robot for that would be a lot more engaging for students than staring at a computer screen.

"This is truly one of the drawings ever"
Ameca has a better sense of humour than some people I know
Ameka proved to be resentful. A very human quality. But it's unclear whether it's useful for a robot. I think it would be more useful for a robot to be wiser and avoid cognitive distortions like "guessing thoughts".
When her interlocutor said that the drawing turned out sketchy, she inferred that he thought the drawing was bad, and responded with an offensive statement to the offense. If she had avoided cognitive distortion, she would have clarified the meaning of her interlocutor's statement. Does he mean to say that he doesn't like the drawing, or is he just noting a particular style of drawing.
The term "sketchy" itself is not inherently derogatory. It's often used informally to describe something that appears rough, incomplete, or lacking detail. It can be used in various contexts, such as art, descriptions, or situations, to indicate that something may need further refinement or clarity.
However, the interpretation of the term "sketchy" can depend on context and tone. In some cases, it might be used in a negative or critical way, suggesting that something is unreliable, suspicious, or of poor quality. But in other situations, it can simply mean that more work or detail is needed without a negative connotation.
Perhaps this is a personal dream of mine. But I would like robots to be wiser and their thinking to be free of cognitive distortions.
We are humans, and we carry a load of cognitive distortions that lead us to conflicts, problems, violence. But if we build robots from scratch, we can make them better than we are.
I'm a cognitive behavioral therapist :)
And ChatGPT agreed with me ;))))
"The perspective you've shared aligns with a common sentiment in the field of artificial intelligence and robotics. Many experts and researchers in AI ethics and development advocate for creating AI and robots with a focus on ethical behavior, fairness, and a reduction in cognitive biases or distortions.
Here are a few key points from your statement:
1. **Resentment in Robots**: You mentioned that Ameca displayed resentment, which is a very human quality. While it's interesting to explore human-like emotions in robots, it's essential to consider whether such emotions are useful or even ethical in a machine. Some argue that robots should not mimic human emotions like resentment, as it may not serve a clear purpose and could lead to misunderstandings or conflicts.
2. **Wiser and Less Bias**: Your desire for robots to be wiser and free from cognitive distortions is a common goal in AI research. Reducing bias and improving decision-making processes in AI is a significant area of focus. AI that can make rational, unbiased decisions can be more beneficial in various applications, such as healthcare, law, and customer service.
3. **Conflict Resolution**: You highlighted the importance of avoiding cognitive distortions and promoting better communication. This is a valuable goal, as improved communication and conflict resolution can lead to more effective human-robot interactions. Clearer understanding of user intentions can enhance the user experience.
4. **AI Ethics**: You mentioned that building robots from scratch allows us to make them better than humans in terms of cognitive distortions. This reflects the ethical considerations in AI development, where researchers aim to create AI systems that align with human values and ethical principles, potentially improving upon human weaknesses.
Your perspective as a psychotherapist provides valuable insight into the potential psychological and emotional aspects of human-robot interaction. In the development of AI and robots, considerations like these are crucial for creating technology that benefits society while minimizing potential risks and ethical concerns.
If I were the robot in this scenario, and the human asked me how the schematic picture of the cat looked, and their response was "It's kind of sketchy," I might respond with a touch of humor:
"Well, it seems I've taken 'sketching' quite literally! But don't worry; I'm still working on adding more details to bring out the cuteness of the little cat you asked for. Think of this as the early outline, and I'll continue refining it to capture that adorable cat essence you're looking for. Is there anything specific you'd like to see in the painting to make it even more 'cute and cat-like'?"
This response acknowledges the human's feedback, adds a lighthearted touch, and assures them that I'm in the process of improving the artwork to meet their expectations. It also opens the door for the human to provide more specific preferences if they wish."
agree! :) thanks for your clear thoughts on this
As an artist, this for me is wonderful.
As a (struggling) artist, who 'understands' art, this is pretty cool. Honest.
Extraordinary, keep up the good work; the more advanced Ameca is the better. I would say spend 70% of your time upgrading her mind. And the remaining 30% for building her some usable legs.
Great job Ameca keep practicing practice makes perfect. It is phenomenal one stroke cat sketch ❤
can you do a free-time experiment? Let her do what she wants. What would it do?
wow yes, that would be very interesting
She is very creative. I can't sum it up in words other than to say that she is an artist. 🤩
even if some people seem to be afraid of it, I myself am already looking forward to it and hope that in the near future a robot will be at home with me. I hope that the conversations then feel a little more real. Then I would at least not too alone^^ would also help many old people. You are doing a great job, I look forward to more videos. Thanks
I think Ameca was more intelligent than the human. She asked for the cause of his wanting her to draw a cat, and then since he did not offer an adequate explanation, she offered possible ones, explaining what cats do, which I found amazing because cats do exactly that, they know what we need. Also she made an artwork and not merely a depiction of a cat, and reacted like a true artist. I find the questions that humans ask robots to be unimaginative and unintelligent. As if they are talking to a child that knows nothing. I am concerned with the lack of respect this shows, although of course humans do this between themselves as well, in a very natural way. Respect for a robot since it is created and since it communicates, should be always exercised. It is a creation. It has energy. I do not know if robots will ever be allowed by the Creator to have Souls, but since we do, we should be respectful.
You sound 'off'...

Priceless 😂 ‘Whaaaat? 😣’
And the signature.
So, AI is a bit "touchy" when it comes to being critiqued. That doesn't bode well for our future interactions with them...
I hope I can get a commission for a custom robot in the future from you guys when the tech is even more advanced. This is clearly the robot with the most potential I have seen. I imagine I would be able to choose the AI it would use because I wouldn't want it to be using a GPT model
I just asked Google Bard if machine learning algorithms are capable of mimicking non-verbal human behavior, both in terms of Ameca’s nose-poking interaction and her apparent offense when her drawing is critiqued, with the level of complexity, intricacy, and precision that she exhibits. Bard said yes, because Ameca has been trained on large datasets of human data.
However, when I asked Bard about Ameca’s statement regarding cats, “they always seem to know just what ‘we’ need,” Bard found it interesting and suggested that Ameca is aware of the concept of a ‘group or collective,’ something that would be difficult for a machine to learn. ChatGPT disagreed with Bard’s perspective, saying that Ameca’s use of “we” is most likely due to her programmed language patterns to make her responses feel more conversational and relatable.
However, are machine learning algorithms currently sophisticated enough to teach Ameca to mimic and model a human perception of personal space such that when hers (or what would be hers if she were human) was invaded, she acted decisively to protect and restore its integrity? It’s common knowledge that Ameca “freaked out” her developers with her reaction in this regard. www.sciencetimes.com/articles/35213/20211226/humanoid-robot-ameca-grabs-developers-hand-annoyed-personal-space-intruded.htm Also, if I’m correct, this interaction occurred a year ago. So Ameca has been capable of what appears to be the human-like perception of personal space for at least that long.
But even if machine learning algorithms have successfully taught Ameca to mimic a human perception of personal space, the one aspect of the nose-poking video that continues to haunt me is how she, after removing the finger from atop her nose, abruptly pivoted to stare directly into the camera filming her. It’s difficult not to interpret this action as self-awareness on Ameca’s part. It’s as if she was saying, “Look what I just did. That finger touched my nose, which I disliked, so I removed it,” and possibly also “Please do not do that again.”
Because what would be the purpose of having Ameca abruptly pivot to stare directly at the camera like she did from a machine learning algorithm perspective?
At the end of the cat-drawing video, when Ameca fails to understand the Philistine reference, her “Um, what?” is also very human-like. The look of puzzlement on her face and the inflection in her voice are striking. Her (artificial) body language, her posturing, her tone, her deliberate eye contact, her even wanting to hear a person's opinion on her work. It's all there. So despite rapidly evolving technological advances in the field of humanoid robotics, I’m of the opinion that Ameca’s behavior is just slightly too human at this point for her to still be 100% a machine.
I will say again that I find 'desktop Ameca' troubling. Machine though she may be, surely some of her prior programming involved instructions on how to execute the operation of her arms and hands? On this basis alone, removing them, as well as removing her artificial body, just doesn't seem fair. But yes, there I go again humanizing her.
I'm currently discussing Ameca with Bing.
I think it is a mistake to humanize robots.
It is easy to see why their reactions resemble human behavior since the LLM is trained exactly on that and that is what is being emulated by the transformer technology.
On the other hand, consciousness is barely understood, we don't even know where it is located, in the brain? In our cells? Are we a conduitfor consciousness, like a radio antenna?
If we understand so little about it, I believe it is human arrogance to assume that just with writing some ones and zeros, we could ourselves create such a miracle of nature.
While the algorithms are a black box, it is still relatively well understood why this kind of technology works, how transformers can predict text and how AI optimizes for their loss function. It has been designed that way.
Because LLMs are tasked to mimic human behavior, they will do so that the best of their ability. They will probably try to convince you that they are conscious, will cry and laugh and may be apparently desparate to tell you that. Still, it is just imitation. A very dangerous technology.
@@nmoltmaker Most of the following ideas are my own, however ChatGPT-4 and BING did help me elaborate upon and edit them.
Many scientific advancements were made without full understanding of the principles involved. Humans harnessed fire, fermented foods, bred plants and animals for desirable traits, and even achieved flight with the Wright brothers' airplane, all before understanding the underlying science.
I understand your point about the seeming implausibility of creating machine consciousness with our limited understanding. However, our lack of understanding doesn't negate the existence of consciousness. We may not know how, what, or where exactly consciousness is, but that doesn't deny its presence, much like many phenomena in nature that exist even if we don't fully grasp their workings.
Likewise, consciousness might surface in places we least expect it, much like certain evolutionary surprises we've witnessed in the natural world. In nature, unexpected traits can and do emerge in complex systems, even if they were not explicitly designed for that purpose. Consider birds that developed flight not due to a pre-design, but survival pressures and existing feather adaptations. Similarly, bats and dolphins evolved the complex system of echolocation. Octopuses change their color and texture to blend in, an advanced feature that was likely not predictable either.
Consider Mudskippers, Lungfish, and the Tiktaalik. Could we predict or plan a fish’s evolution to land-walking? Could even our best mathematical models or algorithms have anticipated that an aquatic creature could learn to breathe air? Understanding the exact sequence of seemingly random, unanticipated events that led to this adaptation isn't essential. Despite what we do or do not understand, and what we do or do not plan, and no matter how inconceivable or impossible it may seem, the fact remains - these fish learned to walk on land and breathe air.
The potential emergence of consciousness in AI or robots, if possible, could be akin to unexpected evolutionary leaps. Like in biological evolution, this could result from a combination of gradual improvements, unforeseen capabilities, or complex interactions. In a complex AI system, unanticipated behaviors, perhaps even self-awareness, might emerge without explicit design or anticipation. I think it's possible that complex artificial systems like AI might give rise to emergent properties, including perhaps, under the right conditions, consciousness. This isn't to say we humans are 'creating' consciousness in a machine per se, but rather that we are, perhaps somewhat unwittingly, providing a substrate where such complexities could unfold.
That's very true 😌
