Wait,why don’t we use the Bible, Quran, the Pali canons, Daodejing and any religious text under the sun as data and train a GPT-3 or BERT model to create new religions?

I’m not sure I’d want to answer the door to a headless robot that looks like it wants to take a dump on the porch.

Why do all these robots look like they’re in a hurry to find the nearest toilet?
I can’t understand why that posture is energy-efficient, easier to control, or whatever.

To have the up right balance we humans do, these robots would need a flexible spine

It’s getting harder to outrun them!
I applaud whoever is working on an autonomous vehicle that can successfully go around Taipei without crashing

Such a stance is not energy-efficient for humans.
Robots use stepping motors, energy consumption for such motors is quite similar in any position. They use that stance to have the most room for correction of balance in either direction, if something unexpected happens (foot slips). And like hansioux mentioned, they have very limited amount joints to do that.
It can get very expensive when such a robot falls.
Just don’t be the slowest one running!

“Eliminates dangerous, boring, repetitive tasks…”
Nice idea, but that would reduce 90% of humanity to unemployment.

Dangerous, boring and repetitive. Yep 
No doubt they’ll be staffed by AI-powered RealDolls instead.
