Figure AI Appears To Be Faking Its Demos

What i am about to write is PROBABLY not true but their very unlikely defense maybe that movement was in the training data which actually was from a person wearing a HMD? veRRRY unlikely but i think it is feasible.

I'm not calling this fraud, but I think the whole humanoid robot thing is very close to an expected transition from naivete to outright fraud.

AI narration is horrible.

This company should have done a little PR and farmed some more clout before trying this. Get the redditors emotionally invested and make them gaslight people who would even think its possible to fake. Like a certain dancing robot video.

Well, at least Bloomberg now is starting to blast them with hard questions and puts them on the spot. These answers ON CAMERA would make a GREAT EVIDENCE later on if needed!

Trevor Fraud Meltdown Milton : "fake it to you make it! "

8:54 editing. He could have told it to turn around already and it may have lagged so he went to say “turn around” again as it began complying with the first command. This looks bad so they edit it out it post.

so what ? they have to start somewhere.. ads are not honnest. is that still a supprise ? i remember nutella ads who told the parents that nutella contains everything children need to grow up properly. they had a guy in a doctor-outfit explaing how many vitamins and proteins and minerals are in it. like if its the best thing you can eat from a health standpoint.

Its basically an expensive rug pull. Its another guy trying to become richer who ultimately ends in jail. Anybody giving this hack money is a duped idiot.

If anything, I am disappointed by the lack of effort in the 200 hour demo. For billions of dollars, they could have afforded two VR tele-operation stations and a hand-off process to make it less obvious.

An AI company lying? Say it ain’t so! 😂

While I'm sure it was at least a partially if not totally faked tele-operated demo, they train these AI models on footage and telemetry from human operators doing the task first and so all those headset-adjust, stance-adjust and change-of-operator movements will inevitably wind up in the training data with enough frequency to happen semi-randomly. Like if you as a human are struggling to get your tele-operation rig to right a box, out of frustration you might fidget with the headset, so the training data "learns" that after repeated failures you put your hand up to your face. But never forget that EVERYBODY fakes demos, even companies that have products that work.

I wasn't sure when I saw the robot acting in the demonstration first time, but you convinced me it was teleoperated, all the clues lead to a single and simple explanation : remote control.

Is the voiceover to this video AI?

Spinning the box in hand takes some special abilities.

all silicon valley startups faked stuff, they are still faking, meanwhile china beating the crap out of them. collapse of silicon valley is inevitable imho

The 24/7 stream was an amazing demo of things to come. Thats it. This video is head in the sand. Model t is not w tesla. Winter is coming. This video cries about nuance instead of celebrating achievement

No shit.
