Talk:Hanson Robotics

Latest comment: 4 years ago by 130.233.97.85 in topic Needs a thorough clean up.

The paragraph describing Sophia the robot is highly misleading. The following phrase has no citation, and I have all reasons to believe it is taken from a non-credible source (e.g. Hanson Robotics marketing department): "evolving as she learns from each human interaction she has". The source has to be cited and the phrase should not be stated as a fact, but as a claim by the company. Please note that Sophia's purported "intelligence" is commonly believed to be a scam among Artificial Intelligence researchers, e.g. with Yann LeCun (inventor of Convolutional Neural Networks, originally French) stating "it's complete bullsh*t (pardon my French)" on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/949029930976862209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E949029930976862209&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.skynettoday.com%2Fbriefs%2Fsophia . There is a number of news articles on this now as well (https://www.forbes.com/sites/noelsharkey/2018/11/17/mama-mia-its-sophia-a-show-robot-or-dangerous-platform-to-mislead/#67df83867ac9). I would appreciate if anybody could fix this. Linguiloce (talk) 19:41, 22 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Needs a thorough clean up. edit

The article is highly misleading. Hanson Robotics' robots are not intelligent. They are a bit more advanced AIs than 1960ies Eliza, the psychoanalytic chatbot, and leading AI researchers have criticized Hanson Robotics in its presentation and claims about the intelligence of the robots.

The article should be cleaned up, and an extensive critique section should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.233.97.85 (talk) 10:30, 15 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
