\"Nothing in this video is pre scripted.\"Welcome to Ameca<\/p>\n
UK-based robotics company Engineered Arts just gave its ultra realistic looking humanoid robot Ameca a voice and she has a lot to say.<\/p>\n
In a new video, the company showed off Ameca having a conversation with a number of the company's engineers, courtesy of a speech synthesizer and OpenAI's GPT 3, cutting-edge language model thatuses deep learning to generate impressively human-like text.<\/p>\n
Ameca has already proven to be an impressive demonstration of state-of-the-art humanoid robots, with her uncanny ability to contort her face into extremely believable, human-like expressions, ranging from disbelief to disgust.<\/p>\n
Now, thanks to the power of GPT 3, Ameca is able to converse as well, in an impressive extension of what modern robots are capable of.<\/p>\n
When Engineered Arts director of operations Morgan Roe asked Ameca about the applications for humanoid robots, she had a surprisingly coherent answer.<\/p>\n
\"There are many possible applications for humanoid robots,\" she said. \"Some examples include helping people with disabilities providing assistance in hazardous environments conducting research and acting as a companion.\"<\/p>\n
\"Nothing in this video is pre scripted,\" the video's caption reads. \"The model is given a basic prompt describing Ameca, giving the robot a description of self its pure AI.\"<\/p>\n
\"The pauses are the time lag for processing the speech input, generating the answer and processing the text back into speech,\" the company wrote.<\/p>\n
As far as evil robots taking over the world are concerned, Ameca claims she's not a threat.And the conversational system clearly still has some room to improve.<\/p>\n
When asked to come up with a \"poem about humanoid robots,\" she responded with something that doesn't quite sound like a poem:\"We are the humanoid robots formed from plastic and metal our job is to help and serve.\"<\/p>\n
\"But some say we're a threat,\" Ameca concluded. \"Some think that we'll take over and that humanity will end, but we just want to help out.\"<\/p>\n
\"We're not looking to be friends,\"she added, which sounds vaguely ominous.<\/p>\n
But the engineer seemed nonplussed.<\/p>\n
\"That's an interesting poem,\"he responded.<\/p>\n
