British Bulldog! Boston Dynamics' creepy robot dog can now talk in an English accent thanks to ChatGPT

As if walking a robot dog wasn't strange enough, Boston Dynamics' Spot can now take visitors for a walk, as it takes on the role of an English tour guide. In a new video, the engineering firm showed off Spot's new ability to answer questions and crack jokes using a range of accents, as well as several distinct personalities. The robot, decorated with tiny hats and googly eyes, leads guests to different locations and describes what it is seeing. Opening and closing its grabber to mimic a mouth and turning to'look' at people, Spot's performance is impressively close to that of a real guide. Powered by ChatGPT, Spot's creators say they have been surprised by some of the unexpected responses the robot dog has come up with. ChatGPT is an AI chatbot designed by Open AI in November 2022.
