In what could be a further sign of job losses to come due to the rise in AI-powered robotics, a Dutch-Swiss team has come up with a tomato-picking robot with the help of ChatGPT. Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and the Lausanne-based technical university EPFL said the artificial intelligence chatbot offered a range of ideas and suggestions during the process, including what kind of robot they should go about putting together. “We wanted ChatGPT to design not just a robot, but one that is actually useful,” said Cosimio Della Santina of TU Delft. The team in the end chose to home in on food supply, saying that “as they chatted with ChatGPT, they came up with the idea of creating a tomato-harvesting robot.”
