Watching late-night talk shows is always an interesting way to spend an evening. If you happen to be up late at night, regardless of whether you are a night owl or if you just can’t sleep, talk shows can get you laughing, relax you and perhaps even make it easier for you to drift off. Most people think about talk shows as being just a question-and-answer session with celebrities but in reality, there is a lot going on that keeps us entertained. This includes some hilarious skits that involve people from the audience as well as celebrities and at times, some interesting items that are brought on stage.
That was the case in this clip, which was uploaded in 2017. Jimmy Fallon is talking about robots from around the world and he brings out one robot that is almost too lifelike. It is Sophia, and what this robot does is going to amaze you. Not only does she have the look of a human, which is just a little too creepy for most people, but the robot also was able to play rock, paper, scissors. Of course, Jimmy Fallon is amazed with everything that the robotic creature does and between telling jokes, he has a lot of fun in the process. As it turns out, rock, paper, scissors is only one of the things that Sophia can do.
If you watch any movies that involve robots, there is always going to be a part about how they will eventually gain consciousness and take over the world. I don’t think that Sophia is quite ready for that, but she is just creepy enough to make you wonder.
The field of robotics is amazing and it is continually moving forward. As you see on this episode of the Tonight Show, it can be extremely interesting and interactive as well.
