    Human Robot
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a video featuring a performer who appears to be either a human or a robot. Participants express their belief that the performer is human, citing the natural reactions and movements that suggest human capabilities rather than robotic ones. The performance includes impressive dance skills, particularly noted for its speed and balance, leading to speculation about the technology behind such movements. Some mention the possibility of CGI, but the consensus leans towards it being a human due to the lack of advanced robotics capable of such fluid motion. The conversation also touches on the idea of a "new Turing test" based on the performance's ability to confuse viewers regarding its nature. Overall, the thread highlights the impressive physicality of the dancer while questioning the current state of robotics.

Alan Turing goes disco?
 
Human male. You can tell by the reaction of both the spectator and the 'robot' when the spectator comes up behind the robot and slips his hand between the robot's legs.
 
Human. Beyond anything else, it would be far too dangerous to allow a robot to move like that in a public place.
 
Hey that robot is doing The Human.
 
Human male doing The Robot by... dancing! (like he always does.)
 
A human with very, very good cardio.

So the 'goose' is the new Turing test? :smile:
 
I don't think its a robot, because we don't have robots advanced enough to be capable of such movements. But stll it moves very fast for a human. It could also be CGI.

* because the human inside the suit is small, yet the suit is big and lightweight, it confuses my brain into thinking that such a heavy object could not move so fast (especially the head) and keep its balance like that.

Agreed...human. I didn't see anything too robotic, just amazing dance ability.

If you haven't seen this, the segment beginning at 1:25 is amazing!
