  1.  @wafflesiam  Dude, you've seen how self-driving cars panned out. And if you know how these LLMs work... they're a small piece of the whole puzzle. They're magical and will unlock a lot of new tech, but it's not powerful enough for general purpose robotics. I'd love to be wrong, I wanted a personal robot assistant since I could dream as a kid. But the reality is, this shit is incredibly hard to get right, and even with all these great AI innovations, we're still very far away.

  2.  @eytbits  I'm sure it works great in scenarios as specific as that demo, but I simply don't believe that the current gen of AI is strong enough to solve this problem. General purpose robots are still decades away IMHO.

  3.  @concernedcitizen6572  Eh, you kind of need better than 99% for something you trust with your life though. It's totally acceptable if AI makes mistakes in a chatbot or something, but if it drives you around or if it can be allowed to hold a sharp object, etc. then you need a lot more work and safety nets in place. That's why FSD is still in beta and has a warning you have to confirm and basically still hold responsibility for all of the liability. Humans aren't perfect, but even for driving, we've had 16+ years of life experience in training how to recognize objects, for example. These AIs are just over-simplified models that have been tested for a few years only.

  4.  @chineseducksauce9085  It would be a dream come true if you're right.

  5.  @UnwarrenD  Right, 100% agree. I guess I meant like general purpose robots that will vacuum, clean, do the laundry, and pick up Timmy from soccer practice. That is still very sci-fi and decades away, if that IMHO.

  6. I'm like 99% sure this will go the same way as self-driving cars. The cool new AI tech seems like it will solve the problem, and it will get about 95% of the way there. But the edge cases will be endless and we won't see any real market-ready products for decades.
