I, Robot? More Like iRobot Roomba, Am I Right?

  • サマリー

  • Hey folks, remember that movie "I, Robot"? The one where Will Smith fought an army of robots and somehow made it look sexy? Man, we were so terrified of AI back then. Now? Not so much. In the movie, they had these sleek, sexy robots solving complex crimes. Fast forward to 2024, and our most advanced AI is a glorified trash can on wheels that gets defeated by a slight incline. Forget the rise of the machines, we're witnessing the rise of the Roomba! You know what the real robot uprising looks like? It's your Roomba getting stuck under the couch, beeping pathetically like a digital damsel in distress. "Help me! Help me! I've fallen and I can't vacuum!" And don't get me started on voice assistants. In "I, Robot", AI could understand nuanced commands and anticipate human needs. Meanwhile, I'm over here having a full-blown argument with Siri. "No, I said call MOM, not order BOMB!" Great, now I'm on a watchlist. Remember how we feared AI would steal our jobs? Turns out, the only jobs it's after are "clickbait headline generator" and "guy who invents atrocious pizza toppings". Better watch your back, "pineapple and anchovies" guy - AI's gunning for your gig! Oh, and those foolproof Three Laws of Robotics from the movie? Meanwhile, we can't even program our AI to stop generating inappropriate images. "Here's your pretty butterfly, Timmy... wait, why is it covered in leather straps? I don't know, go ask ChatGPT." But the real kicker? In "I, Robot", AI could instantly ID anyone. Today's facial recognition is more like, "Is this pixelated blob Bigfoot or your Aunt Linda after one too many margaritas?" Plot twist: it's always Aunt Linda. So maybe we shouldn't stress about a robot apocalypse just yet. At this rate, the worst thing AI might do is order us a pizza topped with gummy bears and mayonnaise because it was feeling "quirky". Just remember, next time you watch a movie about murderous AI, take a long, hard look at your smart speaker that struggles with basic arithmetic. That's the real terrifying face of our AI overlords. Goodnight everyone, and always tip your Roombas! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theairevolution/support
