Ask HN: Robot Santas at Malls
Would you find a Westworld Level Human Looking Robot that does the role of Santa At the Mall a step in the right direction? Or just making more humans unemployed. I think I would find the robot Santa less threatening and safer to put my kid in it's lap?
- sharemywin 10y agohow do you explain to your kid santa is a robot?
- andrewfromx 10y agoI don't think they would know/be able to tell. It wouldn't be hard to make a Turing test complete mall Santa. Much easier requirements than a full functioning human. He only has a few lines and few motions he makes all day long.
- andrewfromx 10y agoI think the way to do this would be build the robot and walk him into the mall and let him apply for the job. Speak for him, explain he's a little slow but perfect for the job. It would be like building a human robot capable of 1 very specific job and the proof would be could he get hired? Would he do the job well enough to get paid?
