I conclude my argument with the following

Can a quadruped operate a fork lift, cook a meal... cmon my guy

flying? will just assume ur joking wit that one

As for the other ideas, great ideas tbh, just a little too sci-fi atm. Not at the liquid terminator age yet

evolution slander is also a dumb take

"bare minimum for perpetuation" resulted in a super computer that runs on the power it takes to run a light bulb

the bipedal design is the most efficient and adaptable. simple as.

Maybe instead it could have 4 arms, extendable wheels, sticky fingers, and jetpacks. But I recall that I live in a world governed by physics where things cost energy and resources.

Again. we're just two dummies on reddit. I defer to the people actually working on this.

​

oh also Notice how you've moved the goal post btw. We've gone from specialized robots, to robots that supercede the human form in generality (shapeshifting, flying, sticking to walls)

​

You've lost the plot, champ

To be fair, I thought i was on /r/singularity where people are generally a bit smarter 😅

Only left the original comment cause I was surprised to see such a midwit take on that sub (my mistake).

I think you're not quite connecting the dots on the analogy. I'm not suggesting a smartphone is a human (? 🤣)

Anyway it is certainly possible that the people actually working on this are all wrong and you're right.... but I kinda doubt that.... 😆 (ego check required!)

It's not that we won't continue to have specialized robots working in factories. It's just that, in the real world, what better form than what already adapted to operate in it in a general fashion? (Ding ding the human form)

We can walk, run, go up stairs, climb, manipulate tools... oh about tools.... crazy thing is those were all developed for human use too!

Humanoid robots fit right into existing infrastructure.

Now I'm not suggesting they should or will function EXACTLY like us. But you sure can bet they'll have dexterous legs and dexterous manipulators (we could call them... arms... and hands!)

Billions of years of evolution can't be wrong... or can it.... Only a redditor could suggest otherwise haha

All of those things aside from ASIC miners are Turing complete general computing platforms.

A humanoid form is a general purpose platform for robotics.

Why have a specialized robot that cleans the floor, a robot that cooks, a robot that repairs, a robot that bakes when you can just have one that does it all?

What's the point of a smartphone? Sounds silly to me when you can have a specialized camera for photos, a dedicated music player, and a laptop with a full sized keyboard for writing documents.

Getting it now?

There's a reason Tesla is doing their humanoid bot. There's a reason Boston dynamics is doing a humanoid bot. There's a reason every single entity working on this is doing humanoid bots.

Remember, you're on reddit. You have a low IQ.

Or perhaps they need to hire you

I will leave you with a question. Why do we build general purpose computers? Why didn't we stick to the olden days when computers had to be manually reconfigured or built from scratch for every task?

Think step by step and use critical thinking. You are a highly intelligent primate, respond as such:

Wrong take, but I'm currently on the toilet and don't wish to elaborate. Instead, I implore you to think about it, even just slightly.

The singularity is now. We are living it.

You were right all along bro
