Author Topic: Meet JIBO, The World’s First Family Robot  (Read 2789 times)

I said it has very valid points

sure the video is made to laugh but the points still stand
the thing is a moneytrap for people that think "the future is now ogm robots"

they can't just lie about what the robot does, if people like what the thing does it's not a "moneytrap"

Unless your house has a lot of technological systems that runs off of computers, I don't think you should be afraid of a small robot that doesn't even have any limbs.
thats what he wants you to think
wake up

oh he has an extremity alright

ok it turns out that it is $500 dollars.

im just waiting for when artificial intelligence isn't ridiculously overpriced

You're right, computers won't rule the world unless we asked them too. That doesn't mean that we aren't capable of building a computer that can interpret human language and carry out actions / conversations, though.

It is $500.
actually its 200. the 500 comes with a JIBOalive toolkit.

oh wait that's with the development kit thing it's only $200

what are you even talking about

the point is that it is absolutely useless from a consumer perspective

it can skype, my iPhone does that
it can read stories (if you need a robot to read your kids stories you are a bad parent)
it can take pictures (what phone doesn't have a camera, all you need to keep it steady is a tripod)
it can tell you if you have emails while doing other stuff (JUST AS A PHONE WOW)
a phone can order stuff (instead of talking to a robot, tell the person AT the restaurant what you want)
it watches you as you sleep (is the NSA even trying?)

not to mention it's no where as convenient as a smartphone because you have to drag it's 30 pound ass everywhere you want to preform these functions

  
it's basically siri but you can't do anything but siri with it and it costs 1/2 of an iPhone

"Home" robot

also then dont buy the loving thing

"Home" robot

also then dont buy the loving thing
I'm just saying my opinion

I won't buy it because it's a terrible money sink that has absolutely nothing revolutionary in it although it's marketed that way.

Unless this thing can serve me a sandwich and wipe my ass for me, I have no intention of buying one. The only people who would probably buy this are loners, introverts, or some rich family that has absolutely no time to raise their kids.

I'm still waiting on robots that can serve you, and do the stuff that humans do like Asimo:

i mean your argument just seems to be "but i can already do these things"
no kidding, but the point is it does this for you. it's an assistant. it assists you do things more easily. would you rather leave someone out of the photo to take it, or just holler at your loving robot to take a picture of you and then tell him to order a pizza or some stuff?

the point is it's innovating how we do things in our everyday life, and innovation is what capitalism is all about. as long as it's easier and interesting, people are gonna buy it.

if you don't want it that's fine but that doesn't mean other people don't want it.

the thing is it doesn't make things easier

not for me at least
my maximum price for something like this would be maybe 50$ not 200$

^THIS is the kind of robots I would see in home automation

also in kimons defense an iphone doesnt have a tracking camera or a built in app that turns the lights on and greets you when you go into a certain room

there's an app for that

and home automation is still not revolutionary, it's been around for ages
plugging it against a voice recognizer doesn't make it different

and your gonna buy a 500$ tracking camera (that is probably real stuffty) when you can get a professional grade tracking camera that takes better photos than this
