Having it be an upright, bipedal, ten-fingered thing with eyes and a head and stuff, it's like, it is fun.

And you do get that Jetsons feel or the futuristic, our C-3PO is a tall one, right?

In Star Wars.

It's cool, but...

It's also a little bit creepy when we anthropomorphize things that are clearly not human, almost like an animatronic friend.

And it has to get through that, what's the valley called?

Uncanny.

It has to get through that uncanny valley of being a little creepy before it gets to being really nice.

And I don't know if I'm willing to deal with that.

I've been thinking about this a lot.

I thought, so I agree with that.

I also think that we as humans built the world around all of the shortcomings of the human form and we can do better.

Driving is the perfect example for this, right?

So you have a car.

Let's say it's not a self-driving car.

You could theoretically have a humanoid robot sit in the driver's seat of your car and

hold the steering wheel and press the pedal and drive it that's one version of this solution now you have a Operated car from a robot, but it still has the same blind spots It still only has a set of eyes on the front it still only has the reaction time of things that it can see and hear or

Your car is covered in sensors, covers all the blind spots.

It has this neural link that like maps all this information together, can see way further around all the sides of the car and has instantaneous response and doesn't have to move through the steering wheel and the pedal.

And it's a much better self-driving car operated by a robot in that case.
