pepper the robot is a four foot high customer man four foot for foot high but it's not a four foot high customer oh no no no no it's a four foot high customer customer service it's not like a four foot person who's really hot it knows that stone for foot person let's just get that out of the way ok so this four-foot tall customer service robots spent last week greeting customers at the be eight ta Tek store in San Francisco the robot is programmed to talk with customers follow voice commands and read human emotions to judge how to react to bed every time I look at this thing I want to run away in fear so what's the deal with this robot do we know anything more about it it I don't like the way it looks it looks like it's like scared of me and humans and I would imagine walking into a Walmart or summat department store and this is who you'll see and this past week in San Francisco that text or that's what was happening so sure what was the reaction like I know Lexi's there what did she say about it uh but the video I saw only explained it what it does and that it's able to gauge human reaction and so if you show up really awkward is that this is gyrated are presumably if it senses you're angry maybe it'll dance to try to calm you down or directly out of your I don't know how I don't wind up kicking I once worked at Macy's for holiday help yeah and there were definitely a couple times where you wanted a rowboat you wish I could deal with people a robot could have like I could have folded the clothes when the robot would have talked to a couple of people write the robots got endless amounts of patient or the other way around I guess that the robot could fold the clothes and I could deal with the people right okay all right especially they like high stress levels high stress high levels of stressful holiday shopping right the UH but it's interesting to see how more my robots could take over jobs more anymore it's interesting and I guess cosmically depressing mmm because im sue well not I know this is not a serious show but I think like 15 20 years from now we might be in a little bit of trouble I blow I believe we had a conversation prior to a starting where maybe you would have liked to have had a robot at the counter yeah yes exactly maybe robot could work on the mail that's failing yeah humans can't be trusted sometimes robots got a bit maybe robot would have known where your package may be a robot would've lost my package after I handed it to him on it it yeah imagine telling a robot that it will robot waiter waitress that it got your order wrong I'm sorry the meat isn't cooked well enough let me take it back or just like allow me to zap it with my break or something like that that's a different future all right I keep getting it mixed up yeah hey Mike do you have any other comments in the chat yeah if you do a little commenting on the robot bryan said to remind some of the Jetsons yeah Ozzy Scott you are already out
