Recent advancements in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled machines to complete tasks that were once believed to be exclusive to humans. To demonstrate the capabilities of AI, Santiago, a machine learning engineer, conducted an experiment to converse with a robot dog. This experiment was recorded and shared on Twitter, showcasing the potential of AI and its uses.
The engineer used ChatGPT, an AI-based conversational tool, with a robotic dog, Spot. He displayed the robot’s ability to respond to human commands and interact with them. Further details about the making of the robot dog used in the experiment were also shared on Twitter, wherein Santiago stated that the robot dog runs automated missions daily and collects large amounts of data. However, querying the data is a challenging task due to the complexity of the configuration files, which “only technical people can handle.”
The engineer expressed his excitement about the capabilities enabled by ChatGPT, which allows them to query data in real-time. Furthermore, he assured that more features and upgrades are yet to come in the future.
The experiment conducted by Santiago has sparked both excitement and worry among the people. While some were amazed by the remarkable displays of the robot dog and deemed it “truly incredible”, others expressed fear of the potential risks, with one user even referencing popular Netflix show, Black Mirror, regarding the same.
The video recorded and shared on Twitter, has now crossed over 1 million views and has left the social media users in awe of the possibilities that AI and robotic technology can bring forth. Moreover, Santiago’s experiments and advancements with AI-based conversational tool, ChatGPT, has put him at the forefront of the development of AI technology. His work is inspirational to other machine learning engineers in the field, who aspire to develop applications more efficiently.
