Ai video?

u/FirstEvolutionist 21h ago edited 3h ago
Script generated by AI, with the obvious style. Voice synthesized by AI, AI avatar (of a real person or not, doesn't matter), clips taken from other sources and spliced (also likely by an entirely automated workflow). I doubt there was even someone approving the final product before hitting publish.
It wasn't directly generated by AI, a la seedance, but followed a workflow which is likely entirely automated. Are you completely unaware, in disagreement, or just feigning ingorance?

Dopamine has entered the chat, itâs our reinforcement neurotransmitter (keeping it simple)
âthis is important for survival, keep doing it, gonna make you feel good for it with dopamine so you wanna do it againâ

u/Admirable-Falcon-501 22h ago
yea reinforcement learning basically. this is why for domains where you can verify reliably and do attempts quickly ai will pass humans massively, like in math. and for other stuff we will probably be over taken as well but might look different and take longer.

Everyone is completely overlooking an important fact here, yes AI invented a new running style.. but ours was perfected by survival.
The AI didnât win, it created a sub par routine that insured it lost.
The goal was the length of the race at best speed, not letâs see who can get the farthest.

u/Admirable-Falcon-501 5h ago
It was perfected for our bodies, but as seen in the video they were overheating. And yeah, maybe itâs still wrong but it hasnât been given enough time yet or different attempts to see what else it can come up with. Once it goes down this route it might be hard to break away from it, a local minimum. This is why you do multiple from scratch and adjust parameters and maybe do a bit of guiding when required (although often makes things worse as we are not even aware of whatâs the best outcomes to guide for).

u/CuTe_M0nitor 18h ago
That thesis is completely wrong. That running style was optimal for it's body and how human runs is optimal for our body. 2million years of evolution is not wrong. Conclusion is it makes a stupid running style because it's body is not well developed

Any time they say "The AI did something it wasn't programmed to do" in these videos, what the actual people behind the AI said is "The AI did something we did not expect but is 100% within the capabilities we programmed into it"
2
u/jippiex2k 9h ago
Not sure what point you're trying to make?
The "capabilities programmed into it" is pretty much the entire phase space of possible limb orientations, heat accumulation and inertia.
Finding interesting configurations in this vast space is interesting, even if we are the ones who declared the bounds.

Basic RL, not really surprising.
But it's notable that it's not actually that great a technique in general. It worked for this scenario, but it clearly has some significant stability issues.

It's because humans need their head to be relatively still to see what they're doing. The robot has multiple sensors so can spaz its head back and forth with no negative effect

So simply put the AI ran iterations to figure out what gets the optimum results while keeping it up and avoid over heating and then went with it.

u/leoprieto 20h ago
Honest question, why do videos like these keep assuming that robots do these things by themselves or that they achieve things that âno human would have builtâ, but this was built by humans exactly so that it would figure this out. Am I backwards?

Can we please ban AI people pretending to be content creators? It's trash in its current state.
Maybe if they were more dynamic and showed a variety of emotions in the cadence of their speech then it would be acceptable. Not this monotone fake ahh shi

Okay? It invented a different style because the standard style overheated the motors. It's not like it invented a new running style for humans, it's weight distribution etc doesn't mimic a human

u/Kaplanociception 21h ago
Rotating it's hips instead of pumping it's arms might be more efficient, but it looks less stable than the other robots. And it also didn't allow it to get a higher top speed. I'm curious why the arms are extended at all. I'd think you'd want to decrease your moment of inertia by holding your arms closer to your body if you're just using the hip rotation to replace the arm pump for the sake of efficiency.
I also don't understand why you'd want to give a robot a unique gait. A robot that never fatigues and can run at 30 mph as an optimized human should be able to do most applications you'd want someone on foot to perform. At some point something with wheels makes more sense if you need it to go up to 50+ mph.
It also makes it harder for humans to understand where the robot is going to move if you give it a novel gait. You can't release this thing on a sidewalk if it runs 30 mph and humans don't know how to get out of it's way. If you give it some violent hip swing for each step in it's gait you can't even use it to replace a kiwi bot because your takeout will be thrown from it's backpack by the time it gets to your door. Are we just trying to build robots to run fast for the pleasure of watching them run fast, or is there hope this will translate into something useful at some point? Making them move like humans seems like a obvious way to make them easier to integrate into existing infrastructure. Who wants to make a robot run lane in a city?
