I am aware that I posted a blog about this just a little while ago, but it got re-established into my mind recently when I stumbled upon this video.
As a performer myself, I am slightly offended by this new form of "popstar." I understand that it is cool that this robot can "sing" and "dance" but it is not a being that has talent. It did not work and practice to achieve this level of "talent."
For people out there who are performers, they have generally spent their entire lives practicing and performing in order to become who they are today. And robots cannot replace that.
I do no think this is a good form of technology. I mean, have you ever seen AI? Or I, Robot? Those movies may have something when it comes to the future of technology. Bad things can happen. BAD things. So yes it's a ridiculous and funny video about a robot that sings and dances with real people dancing around it.
But remember that that robot did nothing to deserve the fame that it will get from this youtube video.
There are real people with far superior voices and far superior dance skills.
That is all.
