AI in Disguise – Robots with the Gift of the Gab!
Looks like a bunch of robot dolls are trading in their creepy silent stares for scintillating conversation skills. All thanks to Figure, a humanoid robot maker with the face of a doll but the brain of Einstein, and ChatGPT-maker OpenAI. With big bucks in the bank and a star-studded team backing them, there’s a strong chance we’re gonna be out-chatted by robots soon!
Breaking Down the AI Buzz
- Figure, a prestigious humanoid robot maker, and OpenAI, which is no slouch in the AI banter department, have buddied up. And by that I mean, they’ve officially signed a deal.
- Figure is strutting around with a cool $675 million in funding rattling in its tin can, following a recent round. Total valuation of this robotic charmer? A whopping $2.6 billion! Pretty pricey dolls, if you ask me!
- These robotic beauties aren’t operating in a lonely vacuum. They’ve got some serious bigwig backers such as our favourite billionaire in space, Jeff Bezos, tech giant Microsoft, and the AI chip whizz Nvidia.
Final Thoughts
It’s a pretty cool time to be alive when robots are becoming less “destroy all humans” and more “let’s chat about existentialism”. While it’s both exciting and a tiny bit scary, there’s one thing we can’t deny: we are inching ever closer to a future where we might enjoy dinner party banter with metallic personalities. So, strap in, oil up, and get ready for the art of conversation as we know it to be seamlessly automated!

Prompt: Art Style: Futurism
The image portrays a dynamic futuristic skyline made up of sharp, bright lights. In the foreground, there’s an intricate looking AI robot styled as a pirate from the Golden Age, with elements such as a metallic tricorn hat, an eye-patch, and a gleaming hook. The robot is speaking into an advanced, glowing microphone representing OpenAI. The conversation from the robot is visualized by bright, digitized speech bubbles filled with binary codes (0s and 1s), reflecting the ongoing, ground-breaking exchange of information. A holographic logo of Figure is visible on the robot’s chest showing partnership.
