36.576 - 55.712 Jane Doe

that drawing thing was crazy i was like it makes sense it's like a printer it's so weird it does doesn't it like it's it's so weird that that makes sense yeah that's just how an ai well he also like starts you get that first visual when he stands up and he kind of is a little bit more robotic

0

56.272 - 69.362 Jane Doe

It was really interesting to see the full, I mean, yes, you want a difference between the human movement and the robot movement, but this is just truly an AI going like, what's the most efficient way to make something happen? And I'm going to make him move that way. True.

0

69.382 - 73.766 John Smith

It's uncanny in a little bit. It is a little uncanny. Yeah. But it makes sense.

0

74.166 - 80.351 Alice Johnson

I saw on Wikipedia that they were inspired by Zenyatta from Overwatch and how he moves.

0

Chapter 4: What inspired the movement of the AI character?

80.371 - 83.093 John Smith

Oh, interesting.

0

83.774 - 85.295 Alice Johnson

That's where the movement came from.

Chapter 5: How intense is the fight scene involving Stem?

87.386 - 106.984 John Smith

Gray visits the guy's home. There's nothing until Stem suggests to Gray to say the word on near the living room table. Jackpot messages leading to an old bar. The man arrives back home and they get into a fight. The man doesn't want to hurt him. As Gray is being choked out, Stem suggests that it can take over and function his body for him.

0

107.384 - 121.35 John Smith

Stem is given full control of Gray's body and with precision parries and he hits the man back until he rips his mouth apart with a knife. Stem immediately gives control back to Gray. I was like, that's a little much.

0

Chapter 6: What does Stem's control reveal about AI decision-making?

121.99 - 124.451 Alice Johnson

I was not expecting it to go that crazy.

0

124.531 - 142.19 John Smith

Well, I guess like it wouldn't have emotions or it's just like this is like I this is this. I guess it's like we got into a fight as the computer stem, right? We got into a fight. I am now in the situation where I have this knife wrapped around his jaw. He landed in this way and I need to terminate said person. This is the most efficient way.

0

142.23 - 145.553 Alice Johnson

That was the most efficient way. Yeah, well, you know what?

0

147.915 - 158.962 Jane Doe

I loved him going, what's going on? Like, what the F? Or I guess we curse on this show, but yeah. And like, as he's fighting, his head's looking around, like all like, what's happening? But his body's just locked in.

0

158.982 - 166.947 John Smith

Yeah, it was so cool to see that. Like, I mean, also like his body just like shot up as like a plank board off of the ground.

167.307 - 167.668 Alice Johnson

Yeah.

167.708 - 177.36 Jane Doe

Does that mean he could just do that normally? Or is that, like, the stem just using some sort of extra strong, like, signal to the muscles to launch up like that?

177.38 - 184.088 John Smith

I mean, probably. It's probably using his core and his, like, like, every fiber of his muscle to its full potential.

184.508 - 187.313 Alice Johnson

Yeah. It's like a TazBot. You guys know TazBot?
