Comment on Boston Dynamics turned its robot dog into a talking tour guide with ChatGPT

How do you mean the robots embraced the personalities?

From what I understood, a short prompt regarding a personality was provided based on which the LLM generated the lines which were converted into speech conveyed to the listener through speakers. (If some technicalities are incorrect feel free to correct me). I used “embraced” kind of metaphorically. The robots themselves didn’t literally embrace a personality.

Then I agree. I guess that’s why I didn’t find this very interesting - you could strap speakers and ChatGPT to anything really, it has very little to do with the robot.

It’s just entertaining, at least on the video.

Considering the robot is capable of locomotion and manipulating things with it’s arm, it’s not impossible to think something like this is the first step toward training an LLM on some specific physical task and giving it the robotics to accomplish the goal.
You seem like the kind of person who hates the idea of AI so you go out of your way to make it seem like it’s just soooo boooring to you.
