>>14301969Realistically, OP, it won't happen anywhere near our lifetimes. It's safe to assume you're in your mid 20s to early 30s. Think of where "AI" was 15 years ago, in 2007.
It was in 2007, right around where it is today. We aren't anywhere near autonomous robots, let alone waifubots. Think of the technologies required. From closest to farthest:
>computer vision, object detection, etcA waifubot needs to be able to identify you as a separate entity from the couch you're sitting on. It also needs to be able to identify you among other humans. It needs to be able to identify the muffin you asked it to go get from the kitchen. We aren't talking about the language processing or movement or decision making yet, literally just the ability for it to identify things that it can see. Computers can sort of, sometimes, under the right conditions, do this reliably. Kind of.
And that's the *furthest* developed technology.
>walking, obstacle avoidance, etcA waifubot needs to be able to walk. After ~50 years of research and hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in funding, we are *just now* approaching artificial bipedal locomotion at a level that can handle walking over completely clean, flat surfaces from one room to another without human assistance. And that's only in highly experimental, one-off prototypes with enormous government funding and literal decades of research and development.
>language processingA waifubot needs to be able to understand you. Even at an incredibly basic level, we just barely, *barely* have this working. Apple is the most valuable corporation in human history and their flagship human assistant program fucks up constantly and doesn't understand people. And they are, by far, the furthest along with this technology.
But the biggest hurdle, the one that puts this decades and decades away from now, is this: learning.
We don't have programs that can learn. Period. This is still, at minimum, multiple generations away.
