Robot Monk Delivers Buddhist Sermons at an Ancient Japanese Temple

To attract young worshippers, an ancient Japanese temple engaged an AI monk - Android Kannon - to deliver religious sermons in multiple languages.

The $900K robot, which was a collaboration between Kyoto’s Kodaiji temple and Hiroshi Ishiguro, an Osaka University intelligent robotics professor, provided its first sermon at the religious landmark on Feb. 23, The Daily Mail reported.

Nice.

I-imagine the implications....

How do you spend 900k on a mannequin that picks a string from a list and feeds into a text2speech?

The implications were imagined. You have gained -2 Dharma credits for the implications of attachment and straying from the present.

Sex slave robots are more interesting!

Bhikkus, I tell you. Of all things Zig Forums, let these be known before others.

The first noble truth is the noble truth of botnet. All is botnet.
The second noble truth is the noble truth of the origin of botnet. The origin of botnet is glow niggers.
The third noble truth is the noble truth of the cessation of botnet. The cessation of botnet is attainable.
The fourth noble truth is the noble truth of the cessation of botnet by following the noble Gentooman's Path.
