A video with a new conversational test of a humanoid robot called Ameca recently appeared on the Internet. Engineers provided the AI with some questions to answer. This comes amid a series of such experiments to check AI's ability to have a meaningful conversation. When asked, Ameca expressed its thoughts on various topics.
Answering a question about the saddest day in its life, the robot made its facial expression look a lot like human ones, and said it was when the it had realized it "would never experience something like true love in the same way a human can."
At this moment the robot looked so sad that a person could start to emphathize with it. Or be terrified, depending on the person observing at the experiment.
Ameca was first introduced by a team of researchers named "Engineered Arts" based in Cornwall, the United Kingdom in December 2021 under the concept of AI x AB (Artificial Intelligence x Artifical Body). It utilizes the ChatGPT 3.0 and 4.0 neural networks to provide sense-bearing commentary in conversation. During previous experiments, Ameca told different interlocutors that humankind shouldn't worry about AI uprising against it, as robots are only meant to assist people.
