I'm not sure there's a big real-life connection between
humanoid robots and AI, though we've often connected them in
science fiction. My Amazon Echoes (with Alexa+) are usually
within voice-reach for my Q&A needs (when I'm not in front of a
computer or phone), though I guess AI could potentially help
keep droids from falling over or running out of juice so often.

The Chinese seem to be making inroads when it comes to humanoids and AI. From what I have read, they are hoping to use them in factories and also possibly as companions. They have not perfected anything yet.

This is a dedicated conference for discussion of Artificial Intelligence (al kinds and uses) - this can include moral/political debates or technical tips and questions. Whatever, but keep the message content human-authored, please

Glad to see the discussion. Thank you Digital Man.

I would not mind a android companion as long as it did not try to kill me. Jerry

If I am remembering correctly what I have read in the past, part of what China wants to use them for is companions to their growing elderly population.

I might not mind having a C3PO around, either, just so long as I could power it completely off so it wasn't always listening (or reporting my actions back to some supercomputer somewhere!).

No droids.
