On Saturday in China, the first championship “between them” took place. And the “Independent” wrote a large material about it. Without a little irony, taking things very “seriously”.
It is clear that we live in some years when without artificial intelligence we do not know how to clean an onion, to splash our teeth, we ask the Almighty AI and Chatgpt including how to scratch ourselves, from right to left or from left to right.
And as clearly it was that it would not be long until the universal indubitance tools of artificial intelligence will also enter football.
Technological Daciada
It seems that things will happen faster than I thought. On Saturday in Beijing there was a football competition between four teams made up of three humanoid robots. And a media institution like The Independent has taken down the secular morgue of British seriousness and wrote wide about this technological Daciadea.
The robots appreciated the distance from the ball (which was natural, made of leather, not generated by AI), they felt each other on the ground, they were trying not to collide, if they were falling in the Poponeț (supposed to have built this anatomical part of their metal body) they would rise, and if the blow was a little harder, they asked for medical help.
Grained, it seems, not with Kelen, but possibly with the screwdriver.
We against them
We are then told that this was just an experiment before what will be called “World Humanoid Robot Games”, a competition (sporty? It's a bit said!) Which will soon take place in China.
Continuing the text from “The Independent”, a certain Mr. Cheng Hao, CEO at Booster Robotics, the company that makes the new Messi made up of screws and, of course, recyclable materials, comes and tells us that this is just a first step and that in the future the robots will be perfected so that they can participate in true matches!
Only, says Mr. Chang, the technology will have to be perfected so that there is certainty that in those parties the robots will be safe. About the safety of the people made of meat and bones, Mr. CEO does not remember anything!
The feeling of not wrong
Those who will read these ranks, if someone will read them, may say that their author is completely outdated, that he lives in a completely revoluted and fierce world, daily relieves bad spirits with garlic ropes. It is not so, we are in a technological era, its millenarism helps us in certain circumstances.
But the human mind must remain human mind, football must remain football, the natural life must remain natural life! Populated with experiences, with feelings, sometimes even with swearing.
How will the galleries swear by the galleries a robot that misses from two meters, when he has no mother, but only rivets? Or maybe that perfect robot does not miss as humans, but always gives empty. I understood, that was it! We are wrong, never!
