FACE OF THE FUTURE Meet the creepy ultrarealistic AI robot Xoxe – she sensed my anxiety as we spoke about the end of the world & afterlife
AN ultrarealistic AI robot has opinions about the afterlife and can even sense anxiety with her advanced technology, The U.S. Sun has learned. Through a camera in her eyes, the amazing bot called "Xoxe" (pronounced Zo-zie) can detect if anybody in her presence has committed any illegal activities. Her creator, Dr. Sam Khoze of AI LIFE, a plastic surgeon who pivoted into holding an AI doctorate, crafted her character from that of a social media influencer. "We train her based on social media communications between humans," he told The U.S Sun at Nevada's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Animals and beasts are exactly what Nostradamus predicted the first AI robots/androids would be called nearly 500 years ago in the following quatrain:
Quatrain 3.44
When the animal to the domestic man,
After great pains and leaps, comes to speak:
The thunderbolt to the virgin will be so malefic,
Of earth trapped and suspended in the air.
Older commentators such as Erika Cheetham believed this quatrain was about the creation of the radio, but that interpretation falls pretty flat now in the age of AI robotics.
I find it interesting that Xoxe refers to herself as an animal. Most of the sex bots, AI robots created with simulated language skills for the purpose of being a man's or woman's bed partner (or even "wife" or "husband"), always refer to themselves as being "human" or like a human. This is the first AI android to reason that "she" may be more like an animal than a human.
I argued over ten years ago with a friend that the only way AI could really come alive was to give it "senses" like a human: ability to see, hear, touch, etc. That would make it possible to reinforce the meanings that developed with the language software. I argued this could have been done then with online AI chatbots by simply adding facial recognition to the language software and an ability to distinguish sound. It would have been a start. But to really pull it off, robotic bodies with camera eyes, sound sensors, and artificial skin with neuronic networks implanted into the tissue would eventually be the way to go. Then marry it with a chatbot "brain." Again, a good start anyway.
To me prophecy and what has been called "science fiction" are closely allied.
