Mechanical Turk: What are tele-operated robots?

(edited)

Der "SchachtĂŒrke" (Mechanical Turk) war eine KI-Betrugsmasche aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Der "Erfinder" Wolfgang von Kempelen behauptete im damaligen Österreich einen "Schach-Computer", einen Schach-Automaten, gebaut zu haben, der automatisch gegen Menschen Schach spielen könne. In Wirklichkeit befand sich aber ein schachspielender Mensch in der Maschine. Es war ein Betrug.

2021 prÀsentierte Elon Musk die ersten humanoiden Roboter Optimus von Tesla. Schnell war klar, dass es sich in der Demo um keine futuristischen Roboter, sondern um Cosplayer gehandelt hat. Menschen, die wie Roboter verkleidet waren.

Mittlerweile gibt es die Optimus-Roboter wirklich, aber es gibt Zweifel, ob diese wirklich KI-gesteuert sind.

Es steht der Verdacht im Raum, dass es sich in Wirklichkeit um "ferngesteuerte" Maschinen-Roboter handelt.

"Ferngesteuerte" (tele-operated) Roboter sind menschen-Àhnliche Maschinen, die von einem echten Menschen aus der Ferne bewegt und gesteuert werden. Zum Beispiel mit einem VR-Headset, Àhnlich wie eine First-Person-Drohne.

Es wird der Eindruck erweckt, dass die Roboter fortschrittlicher sind, als sie tatsÀchlich sind.

Das wÀre auch nicht das erste Mal, dass bei einer KI-PrÀsentation geschummelt wurde. Auch Google wurde öfter vorgeworfen, Demos geschönt zu haben. Und auch OpenAI ist nicht ganz "candid", vor allem was Trainingsdaten betrifft. KI-Hype, aber trotzdem beeindruckend, was bereits möglich ist.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Denkt ihr, dass die neuen Advanced Tesla Optimus Roboter von Menschen "ferngesteuert" wurden?

ps. Auch "autonome Taxis" könnten in Wirklichkeit von einem Kundencenter in Indien aus gesteuert werden, ist mir gerade als Idee eingefallen 😂 Um die Interventions zu automatisieren.

Were Tesla Optimus Robots tele-operated?

Elon Musk REVEALS Tesla Bot (Cosplayer)

The “Mechanical Turk” was an AI scam from the 18th century. The “inventor” Wolfgang von Kempelen claimed to have built a “chess computer”, a chess automaton that could automatically play chess against humans. This machine was showcased in Austria btw. In reality, however, there was a real human playing chess inside the machine. It was a fraud.

In 2021, Elon Musk presented the first humanoid robot Optimus from Tesla. It quickly became clear that these in the presentation were not futuristic robots, but rather cosplayers. People dressed up like robots.

The Optimus robots are now real, but there are doubts as to whether they are really AI-controlled.

There is a suspicion that they are in fact being “tele-operated”.

“Tele-operated” (remote-controlled) robots are human-like machines that are moved and controlled by a real person from a distance. For example, with a VR headset, similar to a first-person drone.

This gives the impression that the robots are more advanced than they actually are.

This would not be the first time that an AI presentation has been cheated. Google has also often been accused of fudging demos. And OpenAI is not entirely “candid” either, especially concerning training data. AI hype, but still impressive what is already possible.

What do you think? Do you think that the new Advanced Tesla Optimus robots were “remote-controlled” by humans?

ps. Even “autonomous cabs” could in reality be controlled from a customer center in India, I just thought of that as an idea 😂 To automate, avoid the interventions.

Wow this is so cool! I hope that is real that would be a game changer. Especially to logistics company.

Scamming has always been with us 😁, way back from 18th century.... Hehehehe.

I have no idea but I tend to lean more towards it being remotely controlled. I don't think we have advanced enough for it to be all autonomous.

There are many things said but until I see one of these things cleaning my house I won't believe anything.

I've never viewed Elon as a cheater, I've always believed his ideas are real and innovative. But then it's possible the robots are tele controlled but there's presently no concrete facts to justify that. I just hope Elon keeps up the creativity and innovation to make the world a better place. Thanks for writing and have a great weekend.

Bei solchen PrÀsentationen wird echt oft geschummelt.

Nur manchmal nicht und dann kommt es dazu das es ein Problem eben gibt. Gabs nicht bei Windows mal einen Bliescreen oder so bei einer PrÀsentation?

!LOL

Wird aber sicher nicht lange dauern bis KI da wirklich aktiv dein eingebaut ist und funktioniert.

I rather think it's not a fraud. Every fraud will be exposed one day. Losing the company's prestige would be too big a risk.

Bei dem Demovideo ist doch klar, daß es ein Mensch ist.

Dennoch schein Musks Devise zu sei: Fake it, till you make it!

I think we'll allow time be the judge, but let's hope history does not repeat itself.

Optimus robots cannot be controlled by humans because now ai technology is very advanced

Time will tell but they are all looking like scams to me though
