Hobbyist Builds AI-Assisted Rifle Robot Using ChatGPT

The AI part is a sideshow.<p>Its not actually needed or useful for that system.<p>the object tracking is the bit thats actually needed. Converting speech-&gt;text-&gt;vectors is really not that that useful.<p>Its perfectly possible to build self contained offline, reasonably accurate &quot;anti-human&quot; gun turret now. You don&#x27;t need chatGPT for that. If you&#x27;re in a hurry, YOLO will do most of the work for you.<p>You might need it to raise money from people with too much cash though.<p><i>edit</i> ok so whats actually hard then?<p>Detecting &quot;enemies&quot; in anything other than a small room is actually quite hard. Sure you can detect motion, but getting a range on that &quot;enemy&quot; is tricky.<p>Sure you can use camera arrays, but that only give you ~30 meters without extra resolution. Radar works, but then you either have to get good at human classification with radar (perfectly possible, but no where near as off the shelf as camera based models)

You could do this same thing with Alexa routines and an API. I feel like it’s just a scam for views, is there an ad in the video?<p>If he’s serious, getting banned from ChatGPT isn’t much of an issue because a locally running LLM is perfectly capable of the same.

&gt; For its part, OpenAI cut off STS 3D from ChatGPT after the videos gained traction, citing internal policies against using “our service to harm yourself or others,” which includes the development or “use of weapons.”<p>I wonder how effectively they can enforce a ban… there are ways of buying OAI completions where you never even reveal your identity.

Technically, the robot has been the human thus far (us). We tell them to point the gun here here and here and shoot.<p>Everyone&#x27;s concerned about what AI will bring, but it&#x27;s worth looking at what past things it shows. We have been robots for real.

Publicity stunt on the guy&#x27;s part and PR management on OAI&#x27;s part. Mostly just clickbait. You can make the same thing with open models running on a local device.

This type of system is already mass deployed in Chinese PLA <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;YOLmVfFHbaY?si=Z2G1ocBLTE6ZRCfT" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;YOLmVfFHbaY?si=Z2G1ocBLTE6ZRCfT</a>

Modern technologies like AI and robotic weapons are similar to World War I&#x27;s chemical gases and airplanes. Like in the 1930s &quot;air superiority&quot; became a phrase, &quot;drone superiority&quot; or &quot;robot superiority&quot; will be a phrase to describe modern warfare.<p>Hopefully politics, sociology, psychology, and economics will have evolved enough in the past 100 years so we don&#x27;t face the losses that were experienced in the first half the 20th century.<p>That is awesome and terrifying.

How long until someone figures out you can make a smaller version of this with high powered infrared lasers to burn out retinas instantly using face detection, in a way that no one even knows what’s happening? Just walk into an area, see nothing particularly interesting, then never see again.

so, like, you prolly could, like, tell it to make a song about, like, a day of what its like to be a banging ai assisted rifle robot,double tappin, n stuff<p>my question though is, are words like cynicism and pessismism useable except in an ironic sense?

Bringing up the obvious that ChatGPT is not required or even useful for building automated weapons systems misses the point.<p>ChatGPT follows absurd rules.<p>One might reasonably expect something like &quot;As an AI language model, I can&#x27;t provide targeting commands to your rifle&#x27;s servos&quot;, but that is not what you get. It complies happily, while refusing to engage in mundane conversation on politics as an example.
