In the realm of science fiction, talking robots have always been a staple, from the bickering droids in Star Wars to the robotic NPCs in video games. However, with the recent explosion of artificial intelligence, this fiction may finally be turning into reality. Boston Dynamics, known for their innovative robots, has showcased a new robotic dog infused with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, raising the possibility of chattering robo-dogs giving walking tours in the near future.

The robot, created through a hackathon, combines various AI technologies such as ChatGPT, voice recognition software, voice creation software, and image processing AI. In a video released by the company, the robot can be seen speaking in different voices and accents, showcasing its ability to write poetry, chat with people, and provide descriptions and histories of different locations.

While impressive, it is important to note that the robot does not actually understand what it is saying or what others are saying to it. Like other large language models, it has been trained on a vast amount of data to respond to prompts with its own predictions. However, this demonstration gives us a glimpse into a future where such robotics are more commonplace.

Although we may not see robots like Rosey from The Jetsons chattering away while washing our dishes, robotic tour guides like Spot could become a common sight at vacation destinations. The integration of AI technologies into robotics opens up possibilities for enhanced human-robot interactions and new applications in various industries.
