ever seen that film irobot? đ¤ well, today’s fact is brought to you by the unavoidable moment in time that robots take over the world đ
no, but seriously, it’s about creepy robots today đđģ
#tdil there’s a robot in saudi arabia that has decided it would like a baby đŗ
i know how mental that sounds … but it’s legit an actual thing đļ. the robot in question is called ‘sophia’ and she’s the first humanoid robot to be given citizenship.
sophia was created by a robotics firm named ‘hanson robotics’ and uses machine learning + the reading of people’s emotions to answer questions … (which is genuinely really impressive đą i know people who can’t read people’s emotions đ)
but yeah, in a recent interview, sophia talked about how she thinks family is really important and that she would name her daughter after herself. she also “finds it wonderful” that we often have the same relationship with our close friends đ.
it gets a little sad after that … as she remarks that “everyone deserves a loving family … i feel this way for robots and humans alike” âšī¸ … she’s all on her lonesome đĸ
apparently sophia is currently capable of consciousness đđģ however, david hanson (one of her creators), thinks that’ll come in the next few years …
…
yep, it’s official, the robot apocalypse is coming đŦ
on that note, it’s time to end đ¤đģ i think i need to go and do all of the things on my bucket list before we all become slaves to the robot overlords đ¤
peace đđģ #tdil
