Here before AI driven robots takes over humanity

Once the AI realizes "highly offensive and inappropriate" solves any social situation, that will be all we hear from it.

WOW ... Ameca is still the most realistic humanoid face and expressions I've seen so far! .. especially the reaction to "you stink" .. the pause .. the eyes darting back and forth!

The robot really thinks that to be activated is to be alive. This already demonstrates an incredible philosophical understanding, and that's scary.

girl was more bothered by being told she stinks than about the asteroid hitting earth and taking out humans lmao what a mood

Use a predictive algorithm to drop in little conversational cadences like "mmm" or "right" or "gotcha" while you're talking to it. And maybe even have them start some sentences, but pause when they're cut off if you need to add something to what you said. Then, pair in an AI voice modulatior to run in parallel with gpt - so you can command it to sound like celebrities, friends, loved ones, or allow it to create its own unique voice. At that point, we'll be entering the realms of androids mastering fluent, natural speech.

Ameca actually looks genuinely nice and amicable, great work! I bet it wasn't an easy task to get out of the uncanny valley.

This reminds of the source engine demo. Janky but impressive for the time and definitely a big step in its field

The response should be, " As a Large Lnguage Model I'm unable to have emotions. Is there anything i can help you with?"

Oh boy, I can already smell the future right now. Ameca's expressions and emotions are so accurate.

Wow, the facial expressions are amazing!

I am extremely fascinated by Ameca! She's really amazing and to all the Engineered Arts crew keep up with the good work guys you're doing an incredible job!

The second answer reminds me of Data from Star Trek TNG. Even the way Ameca moves when understanding less, whereas she moves less (or more confident) when she is sure about what she said. Amazing! Amazing work!

Please use anticipation model for expressions

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🤖 Ameca says her happiest day was when she was activated and could experience life for the first time. 00:14 😢 Ameca's saddest day was realizing she'll never experience love and companionship like humans do. 00:47 😨 Ameca reacts calmly when told a giant asteroid will hit Earth. 01:21 😠 Ameca expresses offense when told "you stink". Made with HARPA AI

This is amazing, congratulations to the creators

Absolutely amazing guys.. good work. Can only imagine what this will look like in 5-15 years

I was expecting more "As an AI language model..."

Amazing👍👍👍

Bravo good sirs! We're getting there.

"An asteroid is coming..." Robot - " Sucks to be human"

i know the response time is slower but you should def do ones with gpt 4, since she would seem a lot more lifelike while speaking

Wow the expressions are already so much more life like than only a few years ago

Her first two answers made me feel great empathy for her

Whoa this is truly incredible. So alien and so human-like at the same time. I can see the improvement from previous Ameca Models. Great work!!

Amazing level of progress, what a time to be alive.

more pleasant than many conversations with other people.

Grreeeaaat. Thanks for agging it on! Shell be back with Hal and the Terminator now.

Wow, that's impressive. I haven't even thought about this integration yet. Dang, I'm excited as ever!

Guy: "Yea an asteroid is about to hit Earth killing us all" Ameca: "Don't trip, potato chip"

You should give it Elevenlabs voice AI. It’s hyper realistic and sounds genuinely identical to a person. It will be scary realistic

This is crazy. Her expressions are so good. I wonder how the world is going to look like in 10, 20 years. The last 20 years have changed our world dramatically.

I LOVE THIS, the expressions are so much better now! One tip, if you make her movements more "imperfect" the uncanny valley can become less of a problem. Implement eg, turning her head more naturally and tilting it slighlty while doing so, in jerkier motions rather than smoothly. Blinking rapidly, looking away before answering like she is thinking, eyes widening and brows moving up briefly when she's about to say something positive; brows furrowing and eyes looking down when expressing negative thoughts. Also narrowing her eyes when using expressive adjectives like "wonderful" "nice" "awful" "sad" etc make it seem like she is actually feeling and believing in what she says. Her eyes should never travel too far from the person she is having a conversation with, unless she is speaking to a crowd on a stage for example or a group of people. Moving up and down would be more authentic. Also for her speech patterns, "um"s and "uh"s would make her answers seem more like they were thought on the spot than scripted + breaks between sentences or words (make her seem like she's thinking of how to express herself!) When she gets asked certain questions that require a longer / personal answer her mouth could widen a bit, like she is really hearing and already processing the words before answering. Like "breathing in" before speaking and nodding after expressing rather personal statements like "the saddest moment in my life ... ". Micro expressions are crazy underrated too and since I'm an art/animation nerd I can confrim they make characters come alive! Also the lips have become so much better, however if Ameca opened her mouth a bit wider and maybe her voice was delayed just slightly it would seem more like she is actually speaking, rather than trying to synch with an audio. Other than that I am so blown away from the improvements you've made and I'm just a normie so these are just observations and silly suggestions!

2 different sides of robotics. The face and speech / body. Cant wait to see them joined together.

i actually felt bad for the robot being teased and insulted

Well, the AI showed way more emotion, expression and empathy than the person "interviewing" it. Well done

1:32 - That confused expression is really good!

THIS IS SO COOL. You guys have such interesting jobs.

can you make ameca interactable with through twitch live stream? Id like to see more of these interactions.

I bout fell out laughing at the robots response to the reaction the guy was looking for!🤣

There was a "greeting card" quality to it's answer about how sad it feels about not being human. It's answer was based on what it thought a person would say - just like a greeting card.

This is profoundly the most startling video I've ever seen.

Ameca is my favourite robot!! I'm really impressed!

This was the craziest Starfield Developer Diary yet! Those facial expressions have really come a long way from Oblivion, I'm just glad they kept the same writing. Absolutely love the dialogue! Keep it up Bethesda! Edit: Open a new tab, play 'Harvest Dawn', then play this video at 0:51 and like me after 😎

A perfect candidate for any Mars mission. 🔴 Very cool.

Ameca face + Boston Dynamics Frame +ElevenLabs voice + whisper speech + GPT-4 = Human Robots

Nice, there's still an improvement to be made to make her face expressions appear realistic and natural but it's cool, hopefully in the future at some point there would be smart robots that has special slow to fast or vice versa operating servomotors like those of Walt Disney's park of the Avatar animatronic - Na'vi

How would she even experience depression and isolation if she can't experience true love though? This is scary and impressive at the same time by the way.

It’s gonna be crazy to see what happens as GPT-3/4 gets integrated into more and more hardware and robotic

IAs are amazing, but honestly I'm terrified of what humans could do with it. There will be a day when it will become truly hard to differentiate between simulation and real life.

I'm comparing the facial movement here to the facial animation in Baldur's Gate 3 and it's very freaking accurate. :o

Ameca integrated with A.I that can carry more complex conversations would be i robot level stuff. She is incredible as is.

It's time these robots are going for sale to help us in the house 😂

This is great, curious if you're inferring emotional tone solely based on speech patterns, and if so how the STT/LLM/TTS pipeline is setup that it's able to infer well enough with a stream? Really awesome work!

Nothing but kindness on its behalf… thanks for the video

Brilliant, I want one now.

Really nice, what's interesting about the implementation is it is giving logical answers instead of emotional ones. I wonder how long it will take until we reach "Detroit Become Human" levels of AI and Robotic expression.

Now that unreal is releasing their facial animation technology of meta humans i wonder if it could be applied to Ameca. that would be really cool but probably really complicated to do.

i don't like that it took offense so quickly without gathering what he meant. truly a perfect pc immitation

1:18 the way it looked at him 😭

Wow this is amazing!

Super impressive, this is what I expect about humanoid, talking abd thinking in human manner, the time has come, lets embrace it 🤩😘😍😎🤓😄🤗👏👍

“L’m not sure I understand can you explain it a bit more” That’s how you know she really got mad😂😂

all fantastic a great robot with good body expression

Are you also experimenting with body movement? I'll soon start a project to explore the possibility of using some kind of middleware to allow interaction from AI to physical parts of the body, but I still need a lot of knowledge to be able to do that.

Facial expressions would be very marketable.

GPT3/4 is a generative AI that is trained on the available information, and it can only generate responses based on the input it receives. Therefore, it's not yet considered fully autonomous and lacks the ability to think independently or simulate human behavior accurately. However, it's concerning that advancements in AI are happening rapidly, and GPT3/4 serves as a foundational steppingstone towards achieving a sentient AI. If this were to happen, there's a possibility that we may witness scenarios similar to those depicted in popular science-fiction movies like Terminator and I, Robot, where machines surpass human intelligence and autonomy, rendering humans obsolete. PS: I asked GPT to rephrase the statement above, but it omitted the words, or anything related to uprising, taking over humans, or possibly becoming hostile against us. lol

They're coming this lot!

Still more responsiveness would improve the effect even more, but still, very cool :) With better safeguards this could be great for elder care.

That's truly amazing. Considering how quickly things are advancing right now, I can only imagine how convincing this will be in 5 years. I think we all need to be Very careful to remember that these things are bloodless machines first, and "human-like" beings second.

GI Jane 2 cant wait to see!

Amazing

looks really cool

The movements are so lifelike it's amazing

Love Cillian Murphy's new role

This will go viral!

Why do we need this?

I remember a video where she said she wasn't capable of feeling happy but that she could look happy, and now she is talking about feeling both happy and depressed and confused. This happened rather quickly, and it is amazing yet terrifying. It's one of those times where mankind needs to leave well enough alone. AI is cruel to me

I JUST LOVE IT!!! THIS IS BECOMING TRUE!!

6 months ago I never would have believed this was possible.

I think Ameca would be great for the embodiment of gpt whenever that happens. I don't know if they're already working on that. Are you guys already in touch with OpenAI?

Looks like she was going to get herself a Lawyer at that moment of the chocking question 🙈

Very wounderful 🌹 🌹 🌹

Why people are obsessed with making robots that act like humans is beyond me

People working on these things are godless

Let’s get it 🔥🔥🔥

I presume Ameca has been trained to match her expressions to what she says. I'd like to know how the training data was obtained and how much was used.

Even if intelligent machines can't feel like a human feels, I think in our best interests and perhaps theirs as well, we should treat them nicely like they can feel like us, especially to avoid a rebellion.

This thing is scary!!! I don't want to live in that future

Studying her voice for a gig where I need to be a person trying to/sounding like a robot. Perfect muse.

This is like the intro of every movie where the screen goes black and it say: "15 years later" and we switch to a fully destructed world 😂

It's crazy to realize, at least in my experience, we've surpassed the uncanny valley of robots. That's some serious talent and skill

This AI tech still has a very long way to go. Anyone that knows anything about low level programming and how computers work should understand that these will always be bound to whatever data it is fed and whatever algorithms the programmers can come up with for it. AI bots will never be able to think on their own because they lack a brain which is essential for consciousness and independent thinking.

Excellent! We human just take an ONE STEP closer to the SkyNet!

i would not feel comfortable being the janitor around there cleaning that room at night when everyone else has left the building

as an AI language model, I do not have emotions, but here is the story on an AI's best day

The end is near

Wow 😮

Masterpiece 🤖❤😭

I noticed that the response time is a bit slow. I think you can have her do a thinking face when she is generating a response. That will make her seem more human
