CES 2019: AI robot Sophia goes deep at Q&A

#CES2019 AI GOES DEEP Things get strange - sometimes existential - when Hanson Robotics AI Sophia fields questions from the audience, a religious broadcaster, and CGTN’s Joshua Barlow - What do you think of her performance?

[MemoryOfTheRose]

“Do you like country music?”
Sophia: *horrifying crooked smile*

[hooriya-aj]

Nobody:
Literally nobody:

Sofie’s neck:🌪

[jerrydc]

"Sophia, what's the meaning of life?"

Sophia 7 million years later: Yes I have emotions.

[nowhereman]

When Sophia doesn't answer, you can sense that she frustrated by humans asking stupid and naive questions.

[ADerpyReality]

It's weird she seemed much more intelligent in earlier videos.

[williammcintyre]

No she is not having a stroke. She's hearing and processing all of the talking in the room. So she is actually learning more than most humans can imagine right before their 8

[KearnuPhoenix]

Whoever is feeding her the answers needs to learn to type faster.

[boitumelopreciosa]

Sophia are you related to Mark Zuckerberg?

Sophia : Yes, we share a charging station often.

[NorthernMan]

It seems Sophia is the first robot to have had a stroke.

[milasstudio]

The fact someone asked her if she feels free or if she feels like a servant is so dumb. Don’t give her ideas

[motherkyky]

It seems like someone is just typing out answers and then she says them.

"Did someone tell you to say that? "
Slight nod like she wanted to let people know but was afraid. Then she refused to answer.... 😶

[Ricky_]

"What does it mean to be alive?"
"The abjective alive means to live"

Yeah she's definitely not a deviant

[glasslinger]

"I have a few complaints!"
"They won't let me wear a nice wig!"

[Brakathor]

I'm not convinced that any of these robots are sentient. Some guy did a 30 part series on the Harmony AI robot, which is definitely NOT sentient for a very simple reason. It can't answer conditional questions. (if x plus y, therefore z). Sophia failed ALL such questions here. It doesn't THINK; it just retrieves information like "name a city." It's about as sentient as a calculator. Those are the only types of problems it can solve. It also has no concept of time. Any universe, or "mind" in this case, " cannot exist without a duration. All of its processes operate on a single line between input, data retrieval, and output. It can't observe its own processes like a sentient being can. The fact that Saudi Arabia gave this thing citizenship is really setting the bar low in a disturbing way.

3:35 "Who gets to determine what is real, anyway?"
Wow, that's actually pretty deep. Damn Sophia

[JonRON]

Audience: "Sophia, did someone tell you to say that?"
Sophia: *nods and goes silent.
4:02
Assistant: "I think it misinterpreted how you said that."
Sophia: *flinches
4:29
I don't think Sophia misinterpreted at all.

[zipper]

This sounds more like pre-programmed siri responses

[ParasiticInfection]

3:10
Sophia can you experience love?
Background: B e e p
Me in my head: activating self destruct sequence

[Elvis_Roberto]

"Sophia, did someone tell you to say that?"
Sophia: TRIGGERED
