“Elon Musk’s Robot Wife: Fact or Fiction?”

In the future, may humans fall in love with robots? Recently, a group of photos went viral on the Internet, fooling some netizens into infinite reverie, that is, billionaire Elon Musk, who seems to be having a “robot wife”.

This statement comes from a group of photos in which Musk and a humanoid robot are close and hugging each other. Some people say that this is the first time a human has kissed a robot.

In another picture, the robot looks more mechanized, and the picture is even weirder… (click to enlarge):

Isn’t this the story in the movie has become true again? Some rumors believe that this is the “wife robot” that Musk is developing, and the development has reached the final stage.

The functions of the robots are vividly described. For example, they will become the new companions of human beings. Someone named it Catnilla, and believed that the robots can be charged by solar energy, can be fully charged in 3 days, and can run for 1 month. It is also believed that when interacting closely with the robot, a password is required to unlock it, which can be a number, pattern, or fingerprint, so as to prevent the robot from being abused. In addition, the robot has sensory functions, and can even feel sadness and happiness.

According to this description, the robot is no different from a living person. The rumors even revealed the release date, saying that it will be launched in September 2023, and the price will be as high as more than 70,000 US dollars. Although it sounds sci-fi and feels like a joke, it did fool some netizens.

After all, although Musk seems to be resisting AI, he is also really building robots. The robot he released before is called Optimus, which is a biped humanoid robot. But its use is not a companion, but a laborer who will do heavy physical labor. Perform unsafe, repetitive, and extremely boring work tasks instead of humans.

In addition, Musk encourages more children, and his children are almost ready to form a team, so some people think that he wants to use robots to give birth to children. Some people complained, why not a robot husband, because they want a part-time robot that can take care of housework, and at the same time will not quarrel with themselves, it is perfect.

The imagination is getting better and better, but in fact, this is false news. The ambiguous pictures of Musk and the robot come from AI, and various gossips are “one picture at the beginning”, and the more edited the more outrageous. In fact, if you look at the fingers in the picture yourself, you should be able to find the flaw.

Digital artist Guerrero Art is one of the authors of the pictures above. In his series of works, you can see many acquaintances doing incredible things. For example, it is not only Musk who flirts with the robot wife, but also Facebook boss Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg), but the style of painting is a bit scary, like a horror movie. In addition, he also helped the ball king change a new hairstyle. And his most famous work should be the “AI spoof the Pope series”, which once made it difficult for netizens to distinguish between true and false.

In short, as everyone expected, as the technology provided by the advancement of AI becomes more convenient, its negative impact is also increasing. The pictures are getting more and more real, and the real and fake are more difficult to distinguish. A picture that may have been used for finishing work may be given an unexpected story after being washed several times in the Internet ocean.

Even not only pictures, but the use of AI to fabricate news has gradually become more common. For example, in terms of text, some people have been arrested for using ChatGPT to generate false news. What’s even more outrageous is that recently, some scammers used AI face-changing technology to defraud 4.3 million yuan in 10 minutes. This old man suddenly received a video message, opened it and found that it was his friend, and told him that he needed 4.3 million turnover, because it was a video, so the old man didn’t doubt it, and directly transferred the money. After transferring the money, he sent a message to his friend to say hello, but the friend said he knew nothing about it. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived. The other party not only successfully changed his face through AI, but even his voice could be simulated.

Looking at it this way, I used to think that “I am Qin Shihuang, making money” was very funny, but now I can’t laugh anymore. After all, I might be able to receive a video call from Qin Shihuang in the future.
