    Yes. Industrial robots are designed and programmed to do exactly one single useful thing very well. These are not industrial robots. The promise of these humanoid robots is that they will one day be generalist robots. That they will be able to do any task a human can do. That’s a very very different engineering problem to solve then current single task industrial robots.

    As it stands right now, these robots, even the ones depicted in this video, can do exactly zero useful tasks. The only function they can serve is novelty entertainment. Just like AI slop. And just like AI slop, the novelty will wear off really quick.

      So remote-control model cars and airplanes are the original AI slop? Just trying to following your train of thought to its conclusion.
