The robot, named Sophia, gave painfully generic answers and even plugged the AI industry. Many students felt "disrespected" by the decision.

    Next year they will show a VHS recording of the robot reading the generated worthless speech.

    It’s an important lesson for this generation of graduates: robots aren’t ready to take your jobs…but we’re pushing it through anyway.

      Sounds like my company’s product team.

      “Reverendender, are we ready to implement, train on, or support this product?”

      “Not even a little. In fact, the product doesn’t work for 60% of clients yet.”

      “We’re pushing it through anyway.”

        Yeah well at least you had a meeting. At my company they just start doing things, without even telling anyone.

        Then yell at us when it doesn’t work despite the fact we didn’t even know it existed. Then we get to send a copy paste THIS IS NOT CURRENTLY UNDER SUPPORT email.

    I keep seeing clips of this one specific robot and it just seems like it’s an LLM. The comments on the clips are always people seemingly really believing it’s thinking and is alive.

    This robot makes me think there is a percentage of the population that believes we already have true general AI and I can see how people like that would think having it do a commencement speech was a good idea.

    The university probably got paid for this, right?
