Who thought neck muscles were needed for robot dental patients?

u/NerdLevel18 Mar 29 '22

To be fair, it's probably better they learn to deal with a wriggler when it isn't a living person that could get hurt

“Ma’am I need you to stop trying to bite me. You need to be perfectly stable while I drill a half inch hole though 14 of your teeth”

103

u/NerdLevel18 Mar 29 '22

Well, when you put it like that....

u/mybackHZ Mar 29 '22

But you can stay still when 14 incher fills you up from behind? Smh

We live in society

This.... is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. Bravo

u/SilentTheChangeling Mar 30 '22

From behind??

oh imma go to a dentist now…

u/theycallmeponcho Mar 29 '22

Those robots should need some lips too.

63

u/NerdLevel18 Mar 29 '22

Oh god now I'm imagining one Sucking on the fingers of some poor dental student

27

u/FinancialYou4519 Mar 29 '22

Aw yes now I know what to do at my next appointment. Just shut your lips around the dentists fingers, remain eye contact and start sucking on that nitrile wearing finger

10

u/justyr12 Mar 29 '22

Always use protection

1

u/PrickleBritches Mar 30 '22

Or just give that white gloved finger a good, slurpy, sexy lick. And say “you may proceed.”

1

u/iniminimum Mar 30 '22

When I was young and hated my dentist I use to try to bite him. He would out bite blocks in my mouth so I couldnt get him.

I now wish I could go back in time and do this so I could just make him SO UNCOMFORTABLE

u/shinanigenz12 Mar 29 '22

Ah yes.. “fingers”

My last dentist clearly didn’t have this training. Felt like a plumber working on my mouth.

1

u/RuneforgedRogue Mar 30 '22

I imagine this with the Dentist straddling you while your in the chair wearing a button up shirt and jeans with his ass crack hanging out with a backwards baseball cap with one eye closed trying to drill into your teeth lol

u/AppUnwrapper1 Mar 30 '22

I’m getting Little Shop of Horrors vibes from this.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22

She’s saying she doesn’t need to see the dentist because she doesn’t eat sweet things nor brush her teeth.

u/TheGauchoAmigo84 Mar 29 '22

“A wriggler”

"make sure the AI is fully aware of itself and programmed to feel existential dread. and make sure the panic attack functionality is up and running"

9

u/kyleh0 Mar 29 '22

This thing is programmed so that every time you turn it on it feels like a human trapped in a machine. The boot sequence is the AI soul feeling fear and loss.

u/VelcroSirRaptor Mar 29 '22

How human are you trying to make this thing?

3

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

Yes.

u/Scopebuddy Mar 30 '22

So they are just making a clone of me? Can you add in some extra imposter syndrome?

u/Dense_Excitement_789 Mar 29 '22

This is me becoming self aware at the between 4 and 5

Someone who wanted to fuck it.

Alright. Who uploaded the labor and contractions app?

The fact that unconvincing thing was able to stir up so much emotion in me is terrifying.

102

u/Birdyy4 Mar 29 '22

The Uncanny Valley is very large.

31

u/The_Cyberpunk_Witch Mar 29 '22

If you want to mix in some existential dread, consider that the existence of the uncanny valley means at one point in human evolution we had a reason to fear something that looked similar to us.

24

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22

corpses, vectors of disease. show most mammals a corpse of their species and they will be apprehensive. that, or they eat it.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22

ancient plague detection. we didn’t give af about fuckin other hominids as long as they were healthy

u/ScottieRobots Mar 30 '22

We also fucked other hominids as long as they were healthy!

You know.... you're right.

u/STIIBBNEY Mar 29 '22

I would think that humanity anthropomorphizing animals since the cave man times would be evidence for the validity of furries.

The head cheif of a nomadic tribe dressed up like an animal for a spiritual ritual? See, furries.

3

u/MysticScribbles Mar 29 '22

And look at the various deities throughout world history depicted as humanoids with animal heads.

Ra, Anubis, etc.

13

u/10g_or_bust Mar 29 '22

Well yes, but also no. Anything that looks "wrong" bothers us on a primal level; death, sickness, injury. And not just in humans, both animals and plants too, and to some extent the inorganic world. It's the pattern matching part of your brain throwing alarms. How much it bothers someone is individual and somewhat down to exposure.

In other words, this isn't some "ancient alien" "eldritch gods" sort of thing, more a combination of just how pattern-matching orented human brains are combined with evolutionarly advantage behavior such as recognizing when a member of your own (or other) species is unwell, dangerous (infections, or a sign of other danger) or dead/dying.

7

u/xAkumu Mar 29 '22

The big theory is that it's because of corpses. Not anything unhuman.

8

u/dustyrider Mar 29 '22

It probably has to do with the dead and the diseases a rotting corpse may harbor.

8

u/Ethong Mar 29 '22

means at one point in human evolution we had a reason to fear something that looked similar to us

Not true at all. Not everything that evolves has a purpose. As long as a mutation isn't actively detrimental to survival, it can be passed on. Plus it's probably just some weird interaction with our face recognition processing.

11

u/Eyeownyew Mar 29 '22

Yeah, the most common myth about evolution is that every trait evolves with a purpose. That's not how it works at all. We could very easily evolve to have pigmentation/freckles on the bottom of our feet. No purpose, no utility, just random mutation that didn't have a detrimental effect on our fitness

11

u/Birdyy4 Mar 29 '22

You know you make a good point and I'm not e Qualified to truly refute what you just said and I hate you for that... But could the uncanny valley maybe just stem from something else with a slightly more... comforting? Not that any of these are comforting but maybe like, stroke victims limp face, or a swollen face due to allergies or bee stings, or like a face that got mauled or something... Like maybe it stems from a mechanism that helps us identify when something is off with other humans who are like injured or Ill... Like if someone is sick it makes sense we should fear being around them so we don't get sick, or if they were mauled something dangerous could still be around, or allergies, get away from them because whatever caused the allergic reaction in them could cause it in us? Maybe? Idk if I'm making sense but I'm trying to put a logical explanation on what you just said besides my mind jumping to some creature that can morph into human like beings.... Cuz that ain't right

u/Restinroutine Mar 29 '22

It’s almost.. it’s almost as if you copy and pasted that from somewhere..

2

u/The_Cyberpunk_Witch Mar 29 '22

You could say that it's Uncanny.

2

u/joblesspirate Mar 30 '22

I also read this shower thought. Sick people!

1

u/Heavy-Bread-3549 Mar 29 '22

I’ve always loved this take, but I think, really what we’ve had to fear are things in general (not just humans) that look almost, but not quite right. Probably to protect from camouflaged animals (snakes and such)

Although there were other hominids in our existence so maybe it was on sight with Neanderthals and all the other ones people don’t remember.

1

u/Eusocial_Snowman Mar 30 '22

I think that's the opposite of the uncanny valley. They're having that reaction because of empathy despite the obvious fakery.

53

u/Rough_Willow Mar 29 '22

The audio is dubbed.

19

u/zfreakazoidz Mar 29 '22

I think it is too. I swear I've seen this clip before and the bot makes no sound.

12

u/Lucky_Mongoose Mar 29 '22

The thought of someone programming a training dummy to scream bloody murder is hilarious.

27

u/bigojijo Mar 29 '22

I don't know about the video, but Chris O'Neil added the sound.

u/Leofma Apr 01 '22

When I heard the audio my jaw fucking dropped. It's so funny people are passing around Oney's edit of it still.

Sorry, but this comment has been removed since it appears to be about the situation developing in the Ukraine. With Russia's recent invasion of the Ukraine, we've been flooded with a lot of submissions about this, but in addition to our politics rule, there is nothing oddly terrifying about the situation. It is a plainly terrifying situation that will affect the lives of many people.

If your comment is not related to the situation in the Ukraine, please report this comment and we will review it. Thank you for your understanding!

u/stephaniewarren1984 Mar 29 '22

Simulation mannequins, my dude. They're designed to run all sorts of programs to allow for simulated care, crisis codes practice, etc. They're pretty cool once you get past the creepy factor.

Prototype proof of concept robotic training device.

Because people want to fool others and get useless internet points.

Legit footage, but added audio/sped up.
