The cost… wouldn’t be that absurd if it wasn’t so bad at what it claimed it’s specialty was.
I specialize in humanlike conversation and emotional intelligence (head looks down at the floor, hands flailing off to the sides). Never once attempting to look at interviewer in the eye. Lips just flap randomly when talking.
It kind of baffles me what it’s trying to sell, because the technology isn’t exactly super out there. We have chat bots, and we have basic robot puppets that can fairly accurately mimic what their source is saying to do. It does not seem far fetched or even impressive to have a robot that makes eye contact and believable hand gestures… yet it can’t do that. I’ve seen more believable emotional range from chuck e cheese animatronics.
So when do I get my robot girlfriend?
Good news!

She even casually flips her hair (very slowly, and like someone with motor skills issues).
$175000? That’s ridiculous! Who would pay that much for something like this?
On a totally unrelated note, does anybody want to buy a kidney?
