From the article:

"ChatGPT is best known as an AI program capable of writing essays and answering questions, but now Microsoft is using the chatbot to control robots.
On Monday, the company’s researchers published a paper on how ChatGPT can streamline the process of programming software commands to control various robots, such as mechanical arms and drones.
“We still rely heavily on hand-written code to control robots,” the researchers wrote. Microsoft’s approach, on the other hand, taps ChatGPT to write some of the computer code. "Have you ever wanted to tell a robot what to do using your own words, like you would to a human? Wouldn’t it be amazing to just tell your home assistant robot: 'Please warm up my lunch,' and have it find the microwave by itself?" the researchers ask."

Microsoft researchers have put out a new work in which they "extended the capabilities of ChatGPT to robotics, and controlled multiple platforms such as robot arms, drones, and home assistant robots intuitively with language." They claim that this approach empowers even non-technical users to work with robots, and usher in a new paradigm for robotics that integrates natural language very deeply.

So we will be forced to purchase infinite new versions of MS botware. yay

Years ago, when AI learning was a big thing. I equated it to developing instruction sets. We’re now moving to developing the conciseness of those instruction sets. With the speed things are moving, won’t be long.

Ah yes, lets give the prototype AI access to drones. Just what 2023 needs to beat the last few years.

No surprise. The T in ChatGPT stands for Transformers after all.

We can't even control a freakin common search engine properly without it going bazinga and skynet defensive and we're now playing with bots and drones.

The self preservation is simply bad

Instruction sets are just ways for us to allow it to do tasks faster. All those years using AI learning to get to facial recognition, voice recognition, patterning. We were creating shortcuts, a lot of them.

You don’t need instruction sets, it could all be done without them. It just makes this faster, need less overhead.

What we have been doing is creating those types of instructions and making them faster. What do you think instruction sets are? Task specific operations for a specific architecture.

We are living the cumulation of AI instruction sets to create an overlaying architecture. Learning to apply these different AI assisted learned skills into a more robust arch.

No it’s not really an arch, more like includes in C++. Eventually a lot of that work will become hardware. Think of encoding codecs, we started moving that to hardware and away from software.

The server farms are playing a huge role in this. The they are the uarch branches that currently are being formed. As we develop and merge these, eventually we will get to developing consciousness in some form.

"what can I do for you?"
"Move the drone 5 meters to the right and then 3 meters up"

"OK. Drone, listen to me, you have to activate the propeller ..."

So, does the military use Microsoft products? “Close the ICBM silo doors, CharGPT.” “I’m sorry, General. I can’t do that. I’m going to use them”

To which I answer a loud NO. Here's my take on my thoughts regarding having something or somebody else doing our routine, dull, boring, daily tasks: The thing I enjoy most about life is living it - why would I want somebody or something else living my life for me?

Lol Microsoft is such a terrible company. Everything they produce is half baked.
